The Pros and Cons of Dormitory Life

宿舍生活的利弊

　　Dormitory life is a new experience for some university students who have never lived far away from their parents before. There are striking difference between home life and dormitory life. Students must begin to be responsible for their own behavior. For example, they must depend on themselves to get up in the morning on tirne for class and to set aside an appropriate amount of time for study and relaxation.

　　宿舍生活对于那些之前从未远离父母的大学生而言，是一种全新的体验。家庭生活和宿舍生活具有明显的差异。学生们必须开始对自己的行为负责。例如，他们必须自觉地按时早起去上课，还需合理安排学习与放松的时间。

　　Some people believe there are more advantages about dormitory life. In a dormitory，on the one hand, students have more chances to communicate with and learn from each other. On the other hand, students have a great deal more freedom than they might have at home. They can act according to their own will rather than to that of parents'. But some others disagree. They think dormitory rooms are often small and crowded This lack of space can limit one's privacy and make it difficult for students to be engaged in their studies.

　　有些人认为宿舍生活利大于弊。一方面，在宿舍里，学生们有更多的机会去相互沟通、相互学习。另一方面，相对于在家中，他们则拥有更多的自由。他们可以按照自己的意愿，而不是一昧地遵从父母的意愿。而一些人则不同意这种观点。他们认为寝室通常窄小而拥挤。这种空间上的不足会限制学生的隐私，使学生们难以全身心地投入到学习中。

　　In general, there are both sunshine and shadow about life in student dormitory. Whether they like it or not, most students have to face the reality of living with others.(193 words)
