Campus Activities
We can know from the cartoon given above that a boy student is seeking advice about campus activities from his schoolmate. It's true that campus activities have been organized in many universities and colleges. These activities range from academic 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. (174 words)

校園活動
從上面這幅漫畫，我們可以看出一個男學生正在同他的校友咨詢關于校園活動的事。校園活動已在多所大學真的如火如荼地展開。這些活動從學術到娛樂內容豐富，例如學術報告、演講比賽、詩人俱樂部、美術俱樂部、歌舞團等。
這些活動使學生具有兩大優(yōu)勢。首先，它們在提高學生的學習方面起到了積極作用。由于繁重的課業(yè)，學生們常常被埋在課本堆中，很少讓自己接觸豐富多彩的生活。但各種各樣的活動為他們提供了放松身心和豐富思想的機會。此外，各種活動也使生活在"象牙塔"中的學生獲得更多接觸社會的機會。參加這些活動，參與者們必須離開教室，熟悉社會。
所有這些都為學生們拓寬視野提供了一個重要的途徑。通過參與校園活動，他們擁有充實的校園生活，這反過來也促進了校園活動的發(fā)展和繁榮。
