heavy schoolwork
In my opinion, the schoolwork now being assigned to high school students is too heavy. While it is true that students need to study, they need other things as well if they are to grow into healthy and well-rounded adults. High school students should be allowed more time for play. Playing is not wasting time, as some think. It gives them physical exercise, and also exercises their imagination. Which tends to be stifled by too much study. Finally, the pressure put on high school students by excessive schoolwork can cause serious stress, which is unhealthy physically and mentally. I do not advocate the elimination of schoolwork. I do think, however, that a reduction of the current heavy load would be beneficial to students and to the society as a whole.
我觉得现在高中生的课业实在太重了，虽然说学生的确应当读书，但要想长大成为完善的人，他门还需要一些其它的东西，所以应该给高中生较多从事娱乐的时间。娱乐并不如某些人所想的，是在费时，它可以让学生训练身体，发挥被繁重课业抹杀的想象力。最后，繁重的课业加诸在高中生身上的重压可能引起紧急的情绪紧张，这对身心都有害。我并不是倡导废除学校课业，但我觉得减轻现在繁重的课业对于学生和整个社会都是有益的。
