heavy schoolwork 【課業(yè)繁重】 　　

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. 　　

        我認為目前高中生的課業(yè)實在太重了，雖然說學生的確應當念書，但是要想長大成為健全的人，他門還需要一些其它的東西，所以應該給高中生較多從事娛樂的時間。娛樂并不如某些人所想的，是在浪費時間，它可以讓學生鍛煉身體，發(fā)揮被繁重課業(yè)扼殺的想象力。最后，繁重的課業(yè)加諸在高中生身上的壓力可能引起嚴重的情緒緊張，這對身心都有害。我并非主張廢除學校課業(yè)，但是我認為減輕目前繁重的課業(yè)對于學生和整個社會都是有益的。
