However, some people take a different attitude. They regard dormitory as an undesirable place. In their views, since 4 to 8 people live in one dormitory, there is not enough privacy. Furthermore, dormitory is troublesome because it is very likely that one could have clashes with his dorm mates.
As far as I am concerned, students benefit greatly from dormitory life. On one hand, dormitory life provides precious lessons on how to communicate with others. On the other hand, students do not feel lonely. There are always people of the same age around.

The Pros and Cons of Dormitory Life
There is a heated debate over whether students should be required to live in dormitory. It is commonly accepted that dormitory life is a very important part of college life, so students should live in dormitory. In contrast, others think that students have the right to choose other places for accommodation.
Those who hold the first opinion suggest that dormitory life is colorful and interesting. In their view, when young people live in one dormitory, they tend to create and enjoy a culture of their own. However, others think dormitory life can be annoying. They argue that dormitory is always crowded and one can hardly feel convenient and comfortable.
Considering one after another, I stand on the side of the first group. First of all, I am interested in living with students from different places so that I can contact with special cultures. Furthermore, I can learn how to get along with other people from dormitory life. Thirdly, I like making friends and dormitory life gives me such chance. Therefore, I think dormitory life is worthy of living.

Mark or Abilities?
When it comes to the task of college students, students’ opinions differ. Many students believe that marks are very important. For one thing, they think that their primary task is to study and learn from teachers and textbooks. For another, they seldom take part in other activities, for they are afraid that those activities will affect their study.
Some students, however, take a different attitude. They regard it is more important to develop one’s own practical ability. In their views, college students should not learn from the textbook knowledge, they should also learn from outside the textbook. Furthermore, one’s own practical ability is of primary importance.
As far as I am concerned, we should first study hard, then try to develop our abilities at the same time. On the one hand, study is our primary task. On the other hand, we shouldn’t neglect our own practical abilities, for when we enter the society, we need various abilities. So the sound foundation of knowledge along with practical abilities is essential for us to be useful for the society.
