College Students: Marry or Not

Recently， the phenomenon of college students' getting married has caused public concern. From the legal point of view，college students should be given the right to choose an early marriage when they have found their beloved partners. But whether such choice is wise or not is quite another problem. I am opposed to marriage in college on account of its many disadvantages.

　　First， the biggest disadvantage， as far as I am concerned， is that college students， though physically mature， are not mentally and emotionally adult enough to take the responsibility of marriage.Marriage， apart from romance and promises， tastes bitter sometimes and appears to be more realistic and materialistic far beyond college students' imagination. They have to earn steady income to support family； they should take care of their behaviors instead of centering around only themselves； they also need to show loyalty to their marriage lots of things have to be cared about！ However， most college students， who themselves have not been independent financially of their parents， are far from fully prepared to take the responsibility of marriage. Love can never replace food to fill stomach， not can romance serve as fire to warm body up in winter. Then why should college lovebirds sign their names on the marriage certificate when in their hands only remain love and romance？

　　Besides， as to our college students， more things of greater importance stand before marriage， such as study， work， fulfilling the goal of life， making contributions to society and so on.Marriage is only part of life， not all of it. For college students，the main task is to study and get fully prepared before stepping into this competitive society. But still I've heard ora story about a 20 year-old girl who left college to get married with a rich man and later gave birth to a baby. The girl never went back to college again and her ambition of career remained nothing but a dream. Surely， such things won't happen to all the college couples， but the story shows us that marriage， being too time and energy consuming， is something we college students couldn't afford. So， we almost haven't plenty of time to deal with the piled exercise books， let alone marriage！

　　Last but not the least， the one you love in college may not be your suitable"better half" and an early marriage during college life is not always a wise one. You see， it is common for college students to get married in the U. S. ， but the divorce rate there is surprisingly high. A marriage ending up in divorce could not be a wise one and nor could a mate destined to be separated from you be regarded as a suitable partner. As was sung by the Beatles"Life Begins at Forty"， I would like to say that a perfect marriage occurs usually after 28， when we have gained much experience of life and have built a solid financial foundation.

　　Certainly， an early marriage does show some benefits. As the younger parents will only be senior to their kids by some 20 years， the generation gap will be considerably narrowed and the parents will have more energy to play with their children. What a wonderful imaginary picture a lovely kid is running after his or her young parents playing hide and seek on the grassland，bursting out happy laughter from time to time， with the sun giving off pleasant warmness！

　　In sum， college students have the right to marry a suitable partner. However， they're not supposed to do so. Think twice before you leap， and it will benefit your whole life.

　　簡 評

　　隨著社會開放程度的提高，大學生的權利意識日益增強，象牙塔裡是否能夠築愛巢，一時間也成了爭論焦點。江崢同學對這一問題保持著冷靜的頭腦，有理有據地駁斥了愛情至上論者，得出結論：在校生結婚弊大於利。

　　文章結郃大學生的成長特點和婚姻生活的現實要求，論証了早婚者將會麪臨的生活壓力和早婚對學習及未來所造成的負麪影響。結搆清晰，關聯詞運用恰儅，起承轉郃都有章法。各段主題句圍繞全文中心層層展開論述，擺事實，講道理，論証充分，說理明白。但是，倒數第二段突然轉而論述大學生早婚的優點，在缺少與上下文的啣接的情況下，顯得過於突兀，本來這是一種讓步的寫法，即承認自己否定的觀點也有一定道理。但沒有注意從讓步自然地廻歸主題，就使這部分內容與文章的論點不符。
