愛與學(xué)習(xí)(Love and Learning)
towards love and learning, college teachers and students hold controversial views.
the majority of college teachers, especially old teachers, argue that students should give up love and concentrate on learning. they say that campus love is-time-and energyconsuming and tears students away from their main task. if a student ever falls in love, he/she will undoubtedly neglect his/ her studies and gradually lag behind his/her classmates. a few teachers, therefore, suggest that the university authorities restore the traditional regulation against love during students’school years.
on the contrary, students hold that it is natural for young people to fall in love on the campus because they meet every day and their everyday meeting produces romantic passion towards each other. they insist that the campus is not the garden of eden and love is not the forbidden tree. they take for example some of their friends who, falling in love, are studying harder and have made greater progress to please their boy/girl friends.
in my opinion, both views are lop sided. if astudent does not give himself/herself away in love but takes it as a drive, love produces positive effect. but if he/she indulges himself/ herself too deeply in love, then he/she will be a devoted lover but a frustrated learner.
