Campus Love, a Forever Topic
Campus Love, a Forever Topic
"Campus love cannot last long!" For decades, this saying has been pasd on from generation to generation.
Many dizzy and emingly correct reasons have been attached to it during the years that students are not mature enough to confront all tho troublesome and irritating matters brought near by love, that the major task of students is learning and nothing can replace it, that there is still a long way of life before students and anything can come and break the two up.
In some cas, the arguments can be true. But certainly,they shouldn't be taken as universal truths.
Admittedly, when speaking of maturation, students cannot,of cour, hold a candle to tho who have been saturated in the all included, ranging from benevolence to evil, social
"a". But what's the business of maturation when we are talking about love? As one of the innate emotions of human beings, love happens deeply from one's heart and all impulsively. Thus, though practically impossible, no rational components should involve in a pure love matter. When being far away from the dreary commitment to mean ambition, the love of comfort, social climbing,and the devotion to material things, young people treat their love more simply and riously. That is true love, what el can last even longer?
And it is also a fallacy when u "future events can break the two up" to speak against campus love. Some people may cite the example of being parated upon graduation to illustrate the transience of campus love. But why not think in a rever way?True love builds up a strong affinity for each other between the lovers. It can help them overcome all external obstacles to get together.
Now that we can clearly recognize the irrationality of the old saying, some more potent bas of argument are supporting for its antithesis.
Margaret and Archie have been couple for over 50 years.They got to know each other in the lab of Zoology in their college. "Her drawings were always neat and, where stippling was required, her dots were spread evenly on the drawing and preci. My drawings were rather irregular and my stippling looked more like commas " Archie can remember clearly all the details during the periods in the Zoology lab with Margaret."We came together just becau we always had the same painful task to deal with!" Yes, that's the most cas. Campus love usually takes place when the two are both pursuing the same goal.In such condition, they become intimate partners and help each other all the way through. Thus, the love turns to be strong and steadfast.
"Now, we would both be happy to call it (college) our permanent home, and plan to continue living around this area after the wedding." Bill and Beth is another pair of lovers who get acquainted on campus. "We study together in the library, eat together in the dining room, watch movie, attend class, and go to the parties. Campus provided us with so many opportunities to stay together. Surely we get intimate and know each other better!" This illustrates the point that campus can be a really perfect place to ignite eternal
love.
While this lasting love can also happen more remarkably on a sinking ship or in a cruel war, we can, at least, proclaim safely that no convincing evidence can support the veto against perpetual love initiating on campus. So, why keep on sticking with that platitudinous old saying? Maybe Cupid has already prepared an arrow
简 评
这又是一篇先让步再反驳的议论文。不同的是，反驳过后有较多的篇幅用两个具体事例进行正面论证。有破有立，结构合理。合理性还体现在段落安排上：和一般同学不同，这位同学很善于用较短的段落来做过渡，如：“hsomecas，the arguments can be true，but certainly，they shouldn，t be taken as universal truths．”和“Now that we can clearly recogmze the irrationality of the old saymg，some more potent bas of argument are sup—
portmg for its antithesis．”。在我们平时的写作中，段落不宜过长。过长的段落让人看起
来很累，且容易造成一段多意。而偶尔写一点短的段落，既能在长段中起调节作用，又可以自然地衔接文章。

Love on Campus
On campus, lovers can be found here and there. They are very intimate with each other sometimes. Some people think too much intimate intimacy has a bad influence. It takes lovers too much time and energy. Then how about their studies? Furthermore, their intimacy can aisc distract their own as well as other students' attention from study. Campus should be a place for study and should maintain an atmosphere of learning.
On the other hand, other people believe it is OK. Pursuing love is all right to students on campus and intimacy is a natural expression of love. Some scholars of law hold that friendships and appropriate intimacy are an important pard of student development. A sociologist says, "Students' right to lf-expression should be respected."
In my opinion, what all people should do is just leave it as it is. University students are
adults, and they can handle their own affairs well enough. However, they have to admit that school is a place where people receive an education and their main task is to study. Therefore, students are expected to behave themlves in proper ways.
