　　2016年12月大学英语四级作文热门话题：课外活动
        　　讨论大学生是否应该参加课外活动
        　　The most immediate benefit of extracurricular activities is to the
participants’ studies. Spending an appropriate amount of time participating in
sports, clubs or volunteer work can actually be an excellent way for students to
relieve everyday stress. Students who are less stressed out will naturally be
happier and healthier. In turn, they will be able to work more efficiently and
effectively in their studies and attain better results. In addition,
participation in extracurricular activities will also assist university students
in their careers after graduation. Increasingly, employers seeking job
applicants are not interested solely in students with a high GPA. Many companies
also consider involvement in other activities when assessing which applicants
are most qualified for the position because extracurricular activities also
enable students to improve their communication, leadership and teamwork skills,
which are important skills that they will need to succeed in their careers. Last
but not least, students who take part in activities after school will learn how
to live a more balanced and fulfilling life. As the saying goes, “All work and
no play makes Jack a dull boy.” In other words, those who do noting else but
work or study all day will become bored, uninspired, and apathetic towards life.
Extracurricular activities can give students a greater appreciation for sports,
hobbies and community service, and help them become healthier and more
well-rounded individuals.
        　　While academics are obviously important, it is neither necessary or
advisable for students to spend on hundred percent of their time on their books.
University students who devote some of their time and energy to extracurricular
activities will be doing a service to their studies, their careers, and even
their future life.
