Topic 5 Social Practice for College Students
Nowadays, college students are required to take part in some social
practice, such as being an assistant in companies, or doing surveys, especially
during the holidays. Social practice is gradually becoming more essential for
China’s higher education.
However, social practice has both advantages and disadvantages for college
students. On the one hand, it provides students more opportunities to contact
with the real world off-campus; besides, it helps students to grasp some
practical skills, especially communication skills, which is an essential
supplement to on-campus study; moreover, social practice can widen students’
vision. On the other hand, the negative effects can not be neglected: students’
major task is learning knowledge, while curiosity about off-campus world may
distract them; sometimes social practice is even treated unseriously and becomes
a waste of time; furthermore, the students may be faced with dangers
unexpectedly.
Despite the potential negative effects of social practice, I strongly
support social practice for college students, since as a whole,the benefits
overwhelm the likely harm. Two heads are better than one, if students, schools,
and the society join hands together, social practice can be carried out more
effectively and better armed students for the society can be expected. |
