The Value of University Life

There are reports about businessmen, tars, celebrities who are undereducated and even did not graduate from high school. Therefore, some college students doubt about the value of college life. As far as I’m concerned, I’d say college life is the most valuable in the following aspects .

引言部分 ：作者先说明有些学生对大学生活是否有价值产生怀疑的原因，然后开门见山地提出自己的观点，并用in the following aspects引出下文。

Time spent at a university is the most worthwhile period in a young person’s life. This is a time when a student begins to form his or her ideas about life in general. Attending classes and studying in the library keep a student busy and provide him or her with access to valuable information, adding to his or her knowledge base.

Campus life can also be rich and colorful. Most universities offer a variety of extracurricular activities such as sports events, contests, and other social gatherings, enabling the students to experience relief from study and homework. Students often form lifelong friendships through various experiences during university life.

主体部分：分为三个自然段，从获取知识、结交朋友、为未来做好准备三方面说明大学生活的价值所在。这三段的结尾句都是该段的总结句，使文章的逻辑非常清晰、结构紧凑.

During the time a student spends at university, he not only develops his intellectual11 abilities, but also develops social skills as well as knowledge and wisdom necessary for choosing a future career. By learning how to balance intense study and recreation , a student will be well prepared for the challenges of future responsibilities.

Therefore, it’s only too natural to draw the conclusion that university life, if enjoyed fully and made best use of, is very rewarding in various ways.

总结部分：作者用therefore自然引出结尾 ，并用 in various ways 呼应首段的following aspects，使文章整体感很强。

亮点回放

1. celebrities:“名人” ，比使用famous people来得正式 。

2. undereducated:“受教育不足的，未受良好教育的” ，也可以用poorly educated ，该词的使用显示了作者较大的词汇量 。

3. doubt about:“对……表示怀疑” ，注意与suspect之间的区别 。

4. aspect:  “方面、方位” ；常用搭配为in this aspect（在这个方面 ）。

5. worthwhile:   “值得做的”；注意与worth和worthy之间的区别 ，另外worthwhile还常用于it is worthwhile to do sth.。

6. in general: “大体上、一般来说”；近义词有in the main ，generally (speaking) 。

7. add to:“增加” ；近义词为increase ，注意与add ... to和add up to的区别 。

8. base: “基地、基础、基线” ；此处也可以用foundation ，另外注意base作为形容词表示卑鄙的、不道德的”。

9. relief: “轻松、减轻”；注意与它搭配的介词是from 。

10. lifelong: “终身的” ；通常同学们都会使用all one's life来表示  “一辈子”这一概念，但用lifelong这一形容词更为简洁明了。

11. intellectual: “智力上的、聪明的” ；还可以作名词 ，表示“知识分子”。

12. intense: “强大的、强烈的、紧张的” ；这里的意思是“紧张的” ，很多同学会误写成nervous study ，当然此处也可以用busy来替代 。

13. recreation:“娱乐” ；该词的使用体现了作者较大的词汇量 。

14. only too ... to: 一般情况的too...to结构表示“太 ……而不能”，此处加上only就变为“非常……去做……”的意思了，不过too后面所接 的词得是正面词汇，这里表示的意思是“得出以下结论是非常自然的事情”。

15. rewarding:“有报酬的、值得的、有益的”。
