　　My View on the “Campus Star” Contest

　　At an age of character andindividuality being encouraged and demonstrated, we see various “stars” popup—singing stars, dancing stars, movie stars and sport stars, etc. Many schoolseven hold contests to choose their “Campus Stars”. Although these activities makeour cultural life in campus more colorful and varied, a lot of problems springup at the same time.  

　　First of all, theseactivities can result in the swelling of vanity in some students, making them becomearrogant, or even feel superior to other students. Moreover, these activitiescan greatly distract the students from their study. In order to become a star,they will, without any doubt, spend a lot of time and energy on the preparationand competition. The focus of their academic life will be shifted, and evenworse, they can become too enthusiastic about extracurricular activities andhate the academic knowledge and skills they need to grasp for their futuredevelopment。

　　On the whole,  I think these various “Campus Star” contestsshould be controlled in the campus. After all, schools are different from anyother social institutions. Extracurricular activities should be encouraged, butthey should be helpful to the student’s academic study and all-round development。(来源：文都教育)
