Getting to Know the World Outside the Campus
   I think it is necessary for college students to know the world outside the campus. For one thing, school life is relatively routine and somewhat monotonous. Students are busy attending lectures, doing homework and taking tests. For another, the world outside the campus is wonderful. It can be described in one word--variety. There are all kinds of people of different backgrounds from all fields of work. To know them is to learn. Besides, living alone in the ivory tower makes many a student a fool.
   There are many ways to know the outside world. TV progratns, filrns, books and newspapers tell us a lot about what is going on both at home and abroad. We can also get to know the worm by providing social service to it. Some join in a volunteer group and help people with their special knowledge. Some work part time to gain experience, learn how to deal with people and get the data they need for their work. Some play games and get to know how team work plays a role in one＇s success.
   I am a coliege student. I want to get to know the world outside the campus by reading a variety of books and by social interaction, I will visit libraries, museums and places of interests in addition to making as many friends as I can by being nice and friendly to others. In this way I will prove myself to be someone promising and useful to the society.
了解校外世界
   我认为大学生有必要了解校园以外的世界。首先，学校生活比较有规律，但有些单调。学生们忙于上课、做作业和考应付试。其次，校园以外的世界很精彩，可以用一个词——多样化——来形容。社会上有来自不同背景的各行各业的人。了解他们就是学习。
   此外，光住在象牙塔里使许多学生成了傻子。
   有很多途径了解外界社会。电视节目、电影、书籍和报纸告诉我们国内外发生的事。我们还可以通过提供社会服务来了解世界。有些人参加志愿队，用自己的专业知识向人们提供帮助。有的人靠半工半读来取得经验，学会和人打交道，获取工作所需要的数据。有的人打球，同时了解互相配合对一个人的成功所起的作用。
   我是一个大学生，我想通过多读书和与社会接触来了解校园以外的世界。我要去访图书馆、博物馆、名胜古迹，还要与人为善，多交朋友。这样，我将证明自己是有出息，有益于社会的人。
