    1.对于是否应该参加社会实践,大家看法不一
    2.参加社会实践的重要性
【正确答案】[范文]
   When it comes to students' social practice, some people regard it as a waste of time, whereas others argue that participating in various social activities benefits a lot. Personally, I am in favor of the latter view.
   To begin with, by being more socially involved, we can apply the knowledge we have acquired from textbooks to the solution of practical problems. Only in doing so can we get extra experience outside the Ivory Tower. What is more, getting involved in social practice can help us gain a better insight into what is happening in the world around us, which does good to our further study. Last but not least, social practice will provide us with more opportunities to develop interpersonal skills, which may put us in a favorable position in the future job markets.
   To conclude, proper amount of social practice does not occupy too much time and should become an indispensable part of school education, for the knowledge we obtain from textbooks in class is far from enough.
【答案解析】 这是一篇分析型议论文。题目要求考生沦述“参加社会实践的重要性”。根据题目要求,文章结构可以安排如下:

[参考译文]
   当谈及学生的社会实践,有人认为这是在浪费时间,也有人觉得参加各种社会活动有许多益处。个人而言,我倾向于后者的观点。
   首先,更多地接触社会能让我们运用课本的知识来解决实际问题。只有这样做,我们才能获得象牙塔以外的经验。其次,参与社会实践能够帮助我们更好地理解身边发生的事情,这对我们将来的学习有帮助。最后但同样重要的是,社会实践为我们培养人际交往技能提供了更多机会,使我们在将来的就业市场中处于有利地位。
   总之,适量的社会实践并不会占据太多时间。它应该成为学校教育必不可少的一部分,因为我们从课本获得的知识还远远不够。
