Writing To Learn or to Practice?Some people think that college students
should take part in social practice to prepare for their future career. Otherpeoplebelievethatthemaintaskforcollegestudentsistolearnandtherefore they should not pay attention to the social practice while still incollege. As far as I am concerned,I think we should learn to combine theorywith practice. Truly,it is important that we should learn some knowledge incollege. But it is more important to apply what we have learned into practice.In practical work,we can not only understand the knowledge better but also get
to know how to deal with different kinds of people and situations. With suchexperience in real life,it will be easier for us to get into the society aftergraduation.
