There is an old saying “Never go out there to see what happens, go out there to make things happen”. It’s the experience of our forefathers,however,it is correct in many cases even today.
 Only when you participate more can you make things perfect. Participation has been more and more important in the society. Students are asked to enter society and getsome ideas of it. Surely participation has many advantages. Firstly, it can offer students a chance to contact society and meet different kinds of people. In this way people can gain some valuable social experience, which will be useful to their future life. Secondly, as college students, we can apply what they have learned in class to practical work, thus knowing themselves more clearly. Take the study of oral English for example, participation in any chances of communications with others in English, which enables us to become fluent in speaking. 
In summary, participation is the key factor in our daily life no matter who you are,no matter what you are doing. We should put their studies in the first place and see participation just as a useful supplement, so they ought to try to strike a balance between them.
