范文赏析

The Benefits and Dangers of Campus Politics

Campus politics has improved the quality of students’ life on campus and is playing an important role in college life. While we may advocate it because of the benefits, we cannot ignore its problems.

引言部分：作者先明确表明“校园政治”是大学生活非常重要的一部分，但在强调其带来的好处的同时，作者提醒不能忽视其带来的问题。

On the positive side , college students will grow mature and develop their abilities from participation in campus politics. For one thing, by attending campus political activities, students will learn how to handle relationships with all sides in a more mature way, which will better prepare them for life after graduation. For another, they can develop their sense of responsibility as well as practical capabilities, especially management and coordination capacity, because the campus political activities provide students with a stage to show themselves and bring their abilities into full play.

On the negative side, campus politics might bring some problems. Too much participation in campus politics might influence study. Besides, some students’ being keen on campus politics is for fame and gain, which is harmful to the healthy development of mentality . Therefore, schools and teachers should give necessary  instructions to students on their participation in campus politics.

主体部分：作者先从积极面分析了参加校园竞选等活动带来的两大益处：使学生们变得成熟并增强了责任心和实际能力；接着又从消极面分析了参与“校园政治”可能带来的问题：对学习和身心健康发展的影响。针对这些问题，作者简单提出学校和老师应给予必要的指导。就写作手法而言，作者主要是进行逻辑论证，正反对比。全文长短句的运用非常恰当，主要是用短句点题，说明观点，用长句进行解释说明。

All in all, we cannot deny the benefits campus politics brings to college students, but we should also be aware of the potential danger it may hold for them as well. With necessary guidance, campus politics can be a good stage for students to grow.

总结部分：作者用all in all自然而然地引入到了文章的结尾。作者先概述了上面提及的两个方面，然后重申了自己的观点：在恰当的指导下，校园政治是大学生成长的良好舞台。

亮点回放

4. better prepare: 通常prepare的用法是be prepared for（为……做好 了准备 ），此处使用 了主动形式prepare sb. for sth.  （让某人为某事做好 了准备 ）。better是well的比较级 ，所以此处表示  “使他们更好地为……做好准备”。
