Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? "Students are more
interested in politics today than before." Use specific reasons and details to
support your answer.
范文:
College students are more aware of their political power today than before,
when they put their minds to it. Many are actually getting involved by using
"voice and vote" to choose government officials and make decisions about public
policy. What they think could really matter and could help shape the future of
politics.
The importance of young adults' political tendency is increasingly being
felt, when it comes to election campaigns. College students are becoming an
influential constituency and it is hard to find elections where young people's
opinions are ignored. It is because their votes and voices represent their age
group and must be valued as such. Since their voices are heard and their votes
count, they as students begin to feel more confident that their opinions could
have an impact on some key political issues. In short, college students are
gradually becoming more enthusiastic toward the art or science of running
governmental affairs. So, if you think that students are more interested in
politics today than before, you can say that again.
The future of politics is in the making in the minds of young adults,
especially students. During their free time, college students are taking part in
making decisions about the student government on the campus, for instance.
Partly in this way, they learn independent thinking and debating--listening as
much as speaking. In general, there is a growing awareness that politics is in
the best interests of people and that apathy to politics may not be the right
attitude. Thanks to the influence of information through the media, particularly
television and the Internet, they realize that modern politics means more than a
bunch of old guys arguing with each other. In fact, some of today's college
students with strong political inclinations are likely to become such "old guys"
in the time to come.
It is clear that the opinions of young people (18-25 years old) are too
important to be dismissed from politics because their opinions could foreshadow
how the governmental affairs would be run in the future. The political power of
students ought not to be under-estimated, now that they can have a say and can
vote. They will be the mainstream of politics. |
