see the young girls who take plenty of the photos then updating on their social
networking which are wrong ones. Besides that, in current day, everyone has the
individual networking account that accessing everywhere as well as every time. For

far away.

2. Let give it a try

 Extracurricular activities or activities outside are beneficial

for students rather than spending time for studying. To what
extent do you agree or disagree with this statement? (March
16, 2021)

In recent day, besides the academic curriculum, the extra activities are adapted to the
main learning schedule in schools and universities, so the students are not only to learn
their main course but also to improve their physical body and have time to relax. And this
trend is more and more popular. So some people believe that activities outside or
extracurricular ones are much more useful for students instead of spending time for
studying. And in my opinion, I definitely support this statement as reasons below.
