My View on the “Campus Star” Contest
At an age of character and individuality being encouraged and demonstrated, we see various “stars” pop up—singing stars, dancing stars, movie stars and sport stars, etc. Many schools even hold contests to choose their “Campus Stars”. Personally speaking, I don’t quite care for such activities.
First of all, these activities can make some students’ vanity swell and as a result, make them become arrogant, or even feel superior to other students. Moreover, these activities can greatly distract the students from their study. In order to become the star, they will, without any doubt, spend a lot of time and energy on the preparation and competition. The focus of their academic life will be shifted, and even worse, they can become too enthusiastic about extracurricular activities and hate the academic knowledge and skills they need to grasp for their future development.
All in all, I don’t think schools should hold such “Campus Star” contests. After all, schools are different from any other social institutions. Extracurricular activities should be encouraged, but they should be helpful to the student’s academic study and all-round development.
參考譯文：
我看“校園之星”
在一個彰顯性格與個性的時代，我們看到各種“明星”紛紛涌現：歌星、舞蹈明星、電影明星和體育明星等等。不少學校甚至舉辦比賽選擇自己的“校園之星”。就我個人來說，我不太贊成這種活動。
首先，這些活動會使一些學生虛榮心膨脹，導致他們變得倨傲不恭，甚至覺得自己比其他同學優越。此外，這些活動會極大分散學生學習的精力。毫無疑問，為了成為明星，他們要花費大量時間和精力去做準備并參賽。他們學業生涯的重心將會偏離方向，更為糟糕的是，他們可能會對課外活動過于熱心，而厭惡學習那些對自己未來發展甚為重要的學術知識和技能。
總之，我認為學校不應該開展這種“校園之星”的比賽。畢竟，學校不同于任何其他社會機構。課外活動理應受到鼓勵，但它們應該有助于學生的學業和全面發展。
