Some people might think that university is the place only for study and other activities like sports and social works are not important at all. As a college student, however, I would rather do sports or have some social works at my free time thanmerely have classes the whole day. Itotally agree with that the financial support should be launched by the department at university since they are indeed as important as classes.
The after-class activities will not be charming enough to draw students` attention unless they are financially supported. As a result, less and less students would join them. To tell the truth, it`s hard for me to imagine how boring the life is if there are only professional courses at university during the day without other activities. It is not a senior high school but a college. As is known to us all, Chinese high school students spend nearly all day studying at class to prepare for the national college entrance examination when they are in grade 3.It is really boring and disappointing. Besides, only putting emphasis on classes in some way will not make students as efficient as they want to be since they could be tired after a long-time studying. In other words, it is totally a waste of time to study when students are tired. At the same time, students` emotion would be effected and they may feel depressed about facing classes without after-class activities. That is not a good sign if students keep like this.
On the contrary, everything would have a change if financial support is launched in time. Firstly, activities like doing sports and doing social works can develop students` interests and improve students in an all-around way. Not only do students improve their professional skills but also develop other skills when they participate in those activities, not to mention the improvement of the students` quality at university. Secondly, proper
after-class activities are going to benefit study. As far as I am concerned, social activities, playing basketball or something like this make me relaxed after studying for a long time. Thus I can study more attentively and take full advantage of time. In addition, after-class activities benefit both physical and mental health as it gets students to go outside to take a break or to communicate with other people instead of students` locking themselves at classrooms.
To summarize, varieties of after-class activities might bring us a better college life and there is every reason to believe that these activities are as essential as classes. Therefore, relevant departmentsfrom the colleges or the local government are supposed to give financial support without any hesitation to develop organizations to hold these activities.
