Campus Activities
We can know from the cartoon given above that a boy student is seeking advice about campus activities from his schoolmate. It's true that campus activities have been organized in many universities and colleges. These activities range from academic to recreational, such as academic reports, speech contests, poet's club, painting clubs, singing and dancing groups, etc.
These activities provide students with two major advantages. First of all, they play a positive role in improving students' studies. Due to their heavy schedules, students are often buried in textbooks and seldom expose themselves to a colorful life. But the various activities provide opportunities for them to relax themselves and enrich their minds. In addition, the activities also serve students living in the "ivory tower" more chances to get in touch with society. From these activities, the participants have to leave the classroom and get to know the society.
All these offer an important means for students to broaden their horizons. By participating in campus activities, they have fulfilled university life and in turn help campus activities to grow and flourish. (174 words)

校园活动
从上面这幅漫画，我们可以看出一个男学生正在同他的校友咨询关于校园活动的事。校园活动已在多所大学真的如火如荼地展开。这些活动从学术到娱乐内容丰富，例如学术报告、演讲比赛、诗人俱乐部、美术俱乐部、歌舞团等。
这些活动使学生具有两大优势。首先，它们在提高学生的学习方面起到了积极作用。由于繁重的课业，学生们常常被埋在课本堆中，很少让自己接触丰富多彩的生活。但各种各样的活动为他们提供了放松身心和丰富思想的机会。此外，各种活动也使生活在"象牙塔"中的学生获得更多接触社会的机会。参加这些活动，参与者们必须离开教室，熟悉社会。
所有这些都为学生们拓宽视野提供了一个重要的途径。通过参与校园活动，他们拥有充实的校园生活，这反过来也促进了校园活动的发展和繁荣。
