大學(xué)為學(xué)生提供了一個(gè)學(xué)習(xí)、成長(zhǎng)以及逐漸發(fā)現(xiàn)自己潛力的環(huán)境。有些學(xué)生太過(guò)局限于學(xué)習(xí)——下一個(gè)考試、論文和作業(yè)——另一些人卻積極參加參加各種課外活動(dòng)。參與這些活動(dòng)對(duì)學(xué)業(yè)、擇業(yè)及以后的生活都有很大好處。
課外活動(dòng)對(duì)參與者的學(xué)業(yè)有最直接的好處。適當(dāng)?shù)膮⑴c各種運(yùn)動(dòng)、俱樂(lè)部及義工對(duì)于學(xué)生來(lái)說(shuō)實(shí)際上是一種很好的日常減壓方式。，沒(méi)有壓力的學(xué)生自然而然地會(huì)更快樂(lè)更健康，他們?cè)趯W(xué)習(xí)過(guò)程中會(huì)更有效率，獲得更好的成績(jī)。參加課外活動(dòng)也有助于學(xué)生畢業(yè)后的工作。雇傭者在招聘人才時(shí)不再青睞于那些僅僅平均總成績(jī)搞得學(xué)生。許多公司在挑選招聘崗位最適合的人選時(shí)，也會(huì)把應(yīng)聘者參加過(guò)的活動(dòng)考慮在內(nèi)，因?yàn)檎n外活動(dòng)也可以提高學(xué)生的溝通能力、領(lǐng)導(dǎo)能力及協(xié)作能力，這些都是大學(xué)生將來(lái)在工作中想去的成功所需要的重要技能。最后但同樣重要的是，參加課外活動(dòng)的學(xué)生會(huì)知道如何過(guò)一種和諧而充實(shí)的生活。俗話說(shuō)，“只工作不玩耍會(huì)讓Jack變成一個(gè)笨孩子”。換句話說(shuō)，那些恒天只知道工作學(xué)習(xí)的人會(huì)變得無(wú)聊、沒(méi)有靈感及對(duì)生活缺乏激情。課外活動(dòng)會(huì)讓學(xué)生喜歡上各種運(yùn)動(dòng)、業(yè)余愛(ài)好及社區(qū)服務(wù)，會(huì)讓他們變得更加健康、完善。
學(xué)業(yè)固然重要，但把百分之百的時(shí)間都消耗在書(shū)本里面，不必要也不明智。大學(xué)生抽出一部分時(shí)間和精力，投身到課外活動(dòng)當(dāng)中，這樣對(duì)學(xué)業(yè)、事業(yè)甚至以后的生活都有好處。
參考范文
Universities provide students with an environment in which to learn, mature and began to realize their potential. While some students maintain a rigid, singular focus on their studies —— the next exam, essay or assignment —— others engage in a variety of extracurricular activities out side the classroom. Participation in such activities can greatly benefit students in their academic studies, chosen careers, and future life.
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.
