Getting to Know the World Outside the Campus

It is important for students to get to know as much as possible about the world outside the campus. One reason is that knowledge without practical experience is like trying to walk on one leg. Activities outside the campus can keep a person's studies based on practical reality. Another reason is that maintaining contact with the world out side the campus helps the student become mature and responsible.

There are many ways in which a student can get to know about the outside world. First, the mass media can keep the student up to date on political, cultural and sporting events, as well as the latest developments in science and technology. Second, voluntary social services, private teaching and surveys of factories or farms offer the student wide opportunities to get to know how ordinary people live.

Personally, I intend to study hard to give myself a good foundation for my future career. At the same time, I will take every opportunity to gain experience about the world beyond the campus by doing part-time jobs.
