作文
1. For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a composition entitled Social Practice. You should write at least 150 words but no more than 200 words. Write your essay on Answer Sheet 1.
Social Practice
Social practice has been more and more popular in universities and colleges. Before students entering the society, social practice will inspire them and let them get closer to the world. And this surely brings them lots of advantages. Firstly, social practice can offer students a chance to contact society and meet different kinds of people. Secondly, students can apply what they have learned in class to practical work, thus knowing themselves more clearly. Thirdly, social practice can bring them some financial reward and make them more independent of their family.
However, some problems may arise if no correct guidance is made. For instance, study may be neglected since some students get overly interested in social practice, and earning money seems to be more important. And some students are likely to get in touch with the dark side of society, which will affect their future studies.
In order to carry out social practice smoothly, students should first know its objective. They should put their studies in the first place and see social practice just as a useful supplement, so they ought to try to strike a balance between social practice and their studies.
