参加课外活动 Join the Activity

　　High school is the very important stage for students, even the turning point of their lives. Once they learn well, they can enter the ideal university and fulfill their dreams. So a lot of students pay all their attention to the study and ignore joining the after-class activity. They think it is a waste of time to do it, instead they’d rather put more time to make up their lessons. It is the common misunderstanding of after-class activity. On the one hand, taking the activity can help students reduce their pressure. When students face the lessons all the time, they are nervous and easy to stuck in the difficulty. The activity brings students the happy hour and forget their worries. On the other hand, the activity can broaden students’ vision and enrich their knowledge, which are useful in their lessons. So after-class life is also the part of students’ lives, don’t refuse it.

　　高中是非常重要的一个阶段，甚至是他们生活的转折点。一旦学习好了，就可以进入理想的大学，实现自己的梦想。所以很多学生都把注意力全放在学习上而忽略了参加课外活动。他们认为那是浪费时间，宁愿把更多的时间用在弥补他们的功课上。这是对课外活动普遍的误解。一方面，参加课外活动可以帮助学生减少压力。学生长时间面对功课后，他们会很紧张，也很容易遇到困难。课外活动会给学生带来快乐的时光，遗忘担忧。另一方面，活动可以拓宽学生的视野，丰富他们的知识，这对他们的功课有帮助的。所以课外生活也是学生生活的一部分，不要抗拒。
