The Pros and Cons of Dormitory Life
Dormitory life is a new experience for some university students who have never lived far away from their parents before. There are striking difference between home life and dormitory life. Students must begin to be responsible for their own behavior. For example, they must depend on themselves to get up in the morning on time for class and to set aside an appropriate amount of time for study and relaxation.
Some people believe there are more advantages about dormitory life. In a dormitory, on the one hand, students have more chances to communicate with and learn from each other. On the other hand, students have a great deal more freedom than they might have at home. They can act according to their own will rather than to that of parents'. But some others disagree. They think dormitory rooms are often small and crowded. This lack of space can limit one's privacy and make it difficult for students to be engaged in their studies.
In general, there are both sunshine and shadow about life in student dormitory. Whether they like it or not, most students have to face the reality of living with others. (193 words)
結(jié)構(gòu)剖析
文章分為三段
第一段首句引出話題，提出現(xiàn)在很多大學(xué)生都要住集體宿舍，指出宿舍生活和家庭生活有很大的不同，同時(shí)還用for example進(jìn)行舉例論證。
第二段用some people believe...和but some others disagree...來(lái)論證正反兩個(gè)方面的觀點(diǎn)，其中正面觀點(diǎn)還用到on the one hand和on the other hand來(lái)詳細(xì)論證。
第三段用in general總結(jié)全文，指出宿舍生活的利與弊。
宿舍生活的利弊
宿舍生活對(duì)于那些從未遠(yuǎn)離父母的大學(xué)生而言，是一種全新的體驗(yàn)。家庭生活和宿舍生活具有明顯的差異。學(xué)生們必須開(kāi)始對(duì)自己的行為負(fù)責(zé)。例如，他們必須自覺(jué)地按時(shí)早起去上課，還需合理安排學(xué)習(xí)與放松的時(shí)間。
有些人認(rèn)為宿舍生活利大于弊。一方面，在宿舍里學(xué)生們有更多的機(jī)會(huì)去相互溝通、相互學(xué)習(xí)，另一方面，相對(duì)于在家中，他們則擁有更多的自由。他們可以按照自己的意愿，而不是一味地遵從父母的意愿。而一些人則持相反觀點(diǎn)。他們認(rèn)為寢室通常窄小而擁擠。這種空間上的不足會(huì)限制學(xué)生的隱私，使學(xué)生們難以全身心地投入學(xué)習(xí)中。
一般來(lái)說(shuō)，宿舍生活既有積極的一面也有消極的一面。不管他們喜歡與否，大部分的學(xué)生必須面對(duì)與他人共同生活的現(xiàn)實(shí)。
