Getting to Know the World Outside the Campus

It is necessary for college students to know the world outside the campus. This is because in this "Information Age" the society is developing so fast that we should keep pace with the progress of the outside world. Therefore, without knowledge of the outside world, it will be difficult for us to ensure an ideal job after graduation; it will be more difficult for us to succeed in the fierce competition.

How to know the outside world? First of all, we should be well-informed about what is happening around us with the help of mass media:radios, televisions, newspapers, the Internet, and so on. Moreover,we should do some practical social services so as to cultivate our social skills, widen our horizon and enrich our social experience.

As for me, I plan to know the outside world in two ways. I am going to do a part-time job in this summer vocation. In addition, I hold the idea that getting knowledge from books is a better method to know the outside world.

Getting to Know the World Outside the Campus

Most Chinese students go to college with the idea that they can obtain sufficient knowledge and ability in the "Ivory Tower" so long as they work hard, while the fact is, it is far from enough. Studying without knowing the world outside the campus will make the study of the book knowledge itself aimless. Therefore, we may surely find it hard to adapt ourselves to the society when we graduate. So it's absolutely necessary for college students to learn about the society.

There are various ways to do so. We may positively get to know the society by taking part in social services, such as being a tutor or working part-time in a company; we may travel around and see the nation during holidays with financial support; or we may be well-informed of what is on in the outside world without stepping out of the campus with the help of mass media.

Since knowledge and experience weigh equally to me, my plan is to concentrate on my study during the semester,getting to know the world mainly by reading newspapers or watching TV; while I'll take a part-time job to support my traveling around the country during the holidays.
