雅思7分大作文范文 | 大学生应该从事学习之外的活动吗？

雅思大作文题目

“Full time university students should spend a lot of time on their study, but it is also essential for them to be involved in other activities. To what extent do you agree or disagree?”

本次考试依然是教育类话题，近一个月来教育类话题已经频繁出现，点击下列文字查看

 8月19日：学生从小就得努力学习是好是坏？
8月3日：大学生应只学某一门课程吗？

说明这类话题的确很重要，但对于近期要考试的烤鸭，建议应更注重教育类话题之外的话题，按照命题规律，社会类话题和环境类话题应该要出现了。

本次考试也是2012年2月25日的原题重现，由于上次出现的时间过于久远，给烤鸭的备考带来了一定难度，相信这次做到原题的学生不会太多。但是，好在这个话题不难，更是我们平时都在思考和讨论的问题：

大学生到底该全身心学习，还是应该也从事其他课外活动？

正常的思路是，大学生首先应该学习，因为这是他们上大学的首要职责所在，也是为将来找工作，成家立业，为社会做贡献的基础，但是大学生也应该从事课外活动，因为这些活动可以缓解学习压力，锻炼各种能力。那么如何取舍呢？

唐老师的结论是：大学生应该尽量多地选择参加与自己未来职业规划相关的课外活动，但永远不能让课外活动来影响自己的专业学习，毕竟专业学习才是大学生最重要的任务。

这样的思路，虽然平淡无奇，但合情合理，而且容易表达清楚。各位烤鸭，你是如何构思这篇作文的呢？欢迎留言与唐老师交流。

老师笔记

01

One of the most surprising but delightful things about a university is that it always has a great variety of clubs that the students can join such as yoga club, international chess club, literature club, to name only a few. 

大学最令人惊奇也最令人愉快的事情之一是，它总有各种各样的俱乐部学生可以参加，如瑜伽俱乐部，国际象棋俱乐部，文学俱乐部，等等。

解析

（1） 本题问大学生是否应该从事课外活动，范文首段具体描写这些课外活动。
（2） delightful 令人愉快的
（3） a great variety of... 多种多样的
（4） to name only a few 如此等等

Needless to say, university students should devote most of the time to their academic work rather than these club activities. After all, to become expert in one specialized field and get prepared for future life should become the major concerns for all university students, and these are also what the students pay their tuition for. 

不用说，大学生应该花大部分的时间来学习而不是这些俱乐部的活动。毕竟，成为在一个专业领域的专家，并为未来生活做好准备应该成为所有大学生的主要关注点，这些也是学生们支付学费的原因。

解析

 (1) 本段简单论述大学生的主要职责是学习。
(2) needless to say 不必说
(3) after all 毕竟
(4) specialized 专门的；专业的
(5) concern 关注
(6) tuition 学费

However, it does not follow that university students must confine themselves to the library and the classroom. Quite the opposite, they ought to engage in as many extracurricular activities as possible, for if the academic study makes them prepared intellectually, these club activities may be helpful to their future career in many different ways. For example, sports make them physically stronger, boat racing makes them more cooperative, writing makes them more expressive, and camping makes them more persistent. Even those more leisurely activities such as guitar playing or singing can relieve the students of their heavy load of academic work and make them more resilient to physical and emotional stresses in life.

然而，这并不意味着大学生必须局限于图书馆和教室。相反，他们应该尽可能多地从事课外活动：如果学业准备了他们的知识，这些俱乐部的活动可以用许多不同的方式帮助他们未来的职业生涯。例如，运动使他们的身体更强壮，赛艇使他们更合作，写作使他们更有表达力，而露营使他们更有恒心。即使那些悠闲的活动，如吉他演奏或唱歌，也可以缓解他们沉重的学习负荷，让他们更具弹性，来对付生活中的身心压力。

解析

(1) 本段讲大学生应该从事课外活动的原因。
(2) it does not follow that... 不意味着......
(3) confine oneself to... 把自己关闭在......
(4) engage in 从事
(5) leisurely 悠闲的
(6) relieve somebody of... 减轻某人的......（负担）
(7) resilient 有弹性的

In light of the above discussion, I would argue that university students should have an active club life. It would be the best if the students find the club activities are related and helpful to their academic study. However, when it comes to the amount of time they should give to these activities, the university students must remember that their top priority should always be placed on the academic development, which can never be sacrificed for any other activities, no matter how interesting they might be to the students. 

根据上述讨论，我认为大学生应该有一个活跃的俱乐部生活。如果学生发现俱乐部的活动与他们的学业相关，而且有助于学业，那就是的。然而，至于究竟该在这些活动上花多少时间学业发展上，无论活动对学生多么有趣，都不应该为之牺牲学业。

解析

(1) 本段是结论，谈自己的观点，回答题目要求：在何种程度上你同意大学生可以参加课外活动？
(2) in light of 根据
(3) when it comes to... 当谈及......；至于......
(4) sacrifice for... 为......而牺牲
