　　Today the campus should no longer be an “Ivory Tower”. College students must go outside to get to know the world. They should acquire knowledge not only from books but also from the society. Thus they can adapt to society more quickly after they graduate from school.

　　Science and technology are developing rapidly with each passing day. Most students can keep themselves informed by watching TV, listening to the radio, reading newspaper and using computers. It’s also good to take a part-time job. Any of these methods will enable students to get in touch with society.

　　Summer vacation is round the corner. I’ve already enrolled to be a volunteer to help others. I think I can do well. Although I won’t be paid, the most important thing is that I can learn a lot about society.
