　　"Colleges should require students to engage in public-service activities in order to assure that each student receives a balanced, well-rounded education.

　　大學(xué)應(yīng)該要求學(xué)生們參加公益活動(dòng)，這也是為了保證每一個(gè)學(xué)生都能獲得平衡而全面的教育。

　　College students, as the backbone of the future society, should be well rounded,obtaining a balance between the acquirement of knowledge and the cultivation of other virtues. Thus, colleges and universities should encourage their students to engage in public-service activities, which is proved to be helpful to well balanced development of the students.

　　The present education system, including that of the higher education, has been blamed for its failure to educate students with strong public responsibility; while taking part in the public-service activities for the college students will help, in some sense, to solve the problem. Just in these recent decades, many colleges have placed their emphasis on the career-oriented education. That is, students are taught to be knowledgeable to survive in a society full of rigid competition; while the previously valued virtue cultivation have given way to the more practical education and students, although probably not be on purpose, are left with the impression that they have to lead a decent life by all means, even at the cost of others' interests, which is responsible for decay of sense of social obligation. Fortunately, little by little, a growing number of colleges have realized the problem and managed to create much more opportunities for their students to participate in the public-service activities, such as working on weekends in the nursing houses. By doing this, students become aware of their responsibility as members of the society, therefore adjust themselves to be more morally acceptable and work in the future with the public interests in mind all the time.

　　Then, a healthy society, in return, will be guaranteed.Taking part in the public -service activities for the college students can not only help the them to build their social awareness, but also benefit them to equip themselves with some abilities essential to succeed in the future. In schools, students are mainly taught to study hard, having less opportunities to communicate with the society, thus lacking the ability to deal with some social problems, for instance, the ability to effectively communicate with different individuals with complex personalities. That's why colleges and universities are always called as "Ivory Tower", a place isolated from the outside world. However, students are capable of compensating this shortcoming by taking part in public-service activities, which can work as the window to the outside for the colleges. During the course of taking these activities, students have a lot of access to meet with all kinds of people and then learn how to get on with them, which in the end will always contribute to their future success.
