【范文】More People Choosing Overseas Destinations for Their Holidays
From the chart given above, we can observe that the number of people traveling abroad experienced some changes during the past several years. From 1993 to 2003, the number of Chinese people choosing overseas destinations for their holidays increased rapidly from less than 5 million to 20 million, and then to 70 million in 2011.
What exactly contribute to this phenomenon? Reasons can be listed as follows: for one thing, the authorities have issued some preferential policies to promote the development of the overseas tourism industry, which encourages a sudden emergence of travel agencies that can provide customers with convenient overseas tourism services. For another, with the improvement of financial status and purchasing power, a considerable number of Chinese people can afford the once-deemed-expensive traveling expenses.
By observing the past trends, we may forecast that the growth tendency will continue. However, it is also a highly variable industry which is vulnerable to seasons and climates, international political situation, fluctuations in exchange.

范文：
Attending school abroad has many advantages. In the first place, by looking at our own country from the outside, we can best see the strong points of our nation, and therefore widen our vision and broaden our minds. Secondly, while studying in a foreign country, we can travel widely, visiting famous scenic spots and making friends with the local people. Thirdly, we can use the foreign language in our daily life so that our ability in the second language may be improved quickly. But the most important thing in attending a foreign university is to get acquainted with the latest knowledge in science and technology and make use of the first-rate facilities available. For all these advantages, it is really worthwhile to go abroad for further studies.
However, as everything has two sides, there are also some disadvantages in attending a foreign university. The most serious problem is the language barrier. Most of the students who are ready to go abroad do not have adequate proficiency in the language spoken there. As a result, on arriving there, they will find it difficult to understand what the instructors are saying. Besides, for lack of knowledge of the customs and way of life of the local people, they may constantly run into trouble in dealing with various situations. Therefore, misunderstandings often arise. Furthermore, the cost of living is much higher than that in our country, so most students have to find part-time jobs in order to help support themselves. Faced with these difficulties, many students find themselves unable to pay full attention to their studies and some students may even fail in their courses and learn little, even some have to return to their motherland.
Therefore, given an opportunity to attend school abroad, one must consider both sides of the factors carefully before making up his mind. On the whole, it is good to go and study abroad particularly when the subject is very weak or not available in our country. But on the other hand, one must not lose sight of the disadvantages.

本文思路清晰，层次分明。语言流畅，论述充分，令人信服。文章用直入法开篇点题：留学海外，必有其益处。随后作者用罗列法详细论述其有利的一面：可以开拓视野，增加阅历;可以提高外语水平，学到最新知识;还可充分利用国外一流的设备，发展自己的专业。接着作者用“However”承上启下，完成段落过渡。作者旋即笔锋一转开始议论留学海外的弊端：语言障碍、文化差异导致的误解、学费和生活费昂贵等等。最终作者得出结论：在做出是否留学海外重大决策之前，务必三思而后行。

大学为学生提供了一个学习、成长以及逐渐发现自己潜力的环境。有些学生太过局限于学习——下一个考试、论文和作业——另一些人却积极参加参加各种课外活动。参与这些活动对学业、择业及以后的生活都有很大好处。
课外活动对参与者的学业有最直接的好处。适当的参与各种运动、俱乐部及义工对于学生来说实际上是一种很好的日常减压方式。，没有压力的学生自然而然地会更快乐更健康，他们在学习过程中会更有效率，获得更好的成绩。参加课外活动也有助于学生毕业后的工作。雇佣者在招聘人才时不再青睐于那些仅仅平均总成绩搞得学生。许多公司在挑选招聘岗位最适合的人选时，也会把应聘者参加过的活动考虑在内，因为课外活动也可以提高学生的沟通能力、领导能力及协作能力，这些都是大学生将来在工作中想去的成功所需要的重要技能。最后但同样重要的是，参加课外活动的学生会知道如何过一种和谐而充实的生活。俗话说，“只工作不玩耍会让Jack变成一个笨孩子”。换句话说，那些恒天只知道工作学习的人会变得无聊、没有灵感及对生活缺乏激情。课外活动会让学生喜欢上各种运动、业余爱好及社区服务，会让他们变得更加健康、完善。
学业固然重要，但把百分之百的时间都消耗在书本里面，不必要也不明智。大学生抽出一部分时间和精力，投身到课外活动当中，这样对学业、事业甚至以后的生活都有好处。
参考范文
Universities provide students with an environment in which to learn, mature and began to realize their potential. While some students maintain a rigid, singular focus on their studies —— the next exam, essay or assignment —— others engage in a variety of extracurricular activities out side the classroom. Participation in such activities can greatly benefit students in their academic studies, chosen careers, and future life.
The most immediate benefit of extracurricular activities is to the participants’ studies. Spending an appropriate amount of time participating in sports, clubs or volunteer work can actually be an excellent way for students to relieve everyday stress. Students who are less stressed out will naturally be happier and healthier. In turn, they will be able to work more efficiently and effectively in their studies and attain better results. In addition, participation in extracurricular activities will also assist university students in their careers after graduation. Increasingly, employers seeking job applicants are not interested solely in students with a high GPA. Many companies also consider involvement in other activities when assessing which applicants are most qualified for the position because extracurricular activities also enable students to improve their communication, leadership and teamwork skills, which are important skills that they will need to succeed in their careers. Last but not least, students who take part in activities after school will learn how to live a more balanced and fulfilling life. As the saying goes, “All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.” In other words, those who do noting else but work or study all day will become bored, uninspired, and apathetic towards life. Extracurricular activities can give students a greater appreciation for sports, hobbies and community service, and help them become healthier and more well-rounded individuals.
While academics are obviously important, it is neither necessary or advisable for students to spend on hundred percent of their time on their books. University students who devote some of their time and energy to extracurricular activities will be doing a service to their studies, their careers, and even their future life.

Campus Activities
Campus activities have been organized in many universities and colleges.These activities range from academie to recreational,such as academic reports, speech contests, poet’s club, painting clubs、singing and dancing groups, etc.
These activities provide students with two major advantages. First of all, they play a positive role in improving students’ studies. Due to their heavy schedules, students are often buried in textbooks and seldom expose themselves to a colorful life. But the various activities provide opportunities for them to relax themselves and enrich their minds. In addition, the activities also serve students living in the “ivory tower” more chances to get in touch with society. From these activities, the participants have to leave the classroom and get to know the society.
All these offer an important means for students to broaden their horizons. By .participating in campus activities, they have fulfilled university life and in turn help campus activities to .grow and flourish.
