The academic curriculum has never been all that schools and colleges offer to their students. Often a range of other classes, clubs and activities is available to students, referred to as extra-curricular activities and they are mostly voluntary for students. Examples would include sports, musical activities, debate, community service, Young Enterprise projects etc. Whether the extra-curriculum should be attached great importance in schools and colleges? The following are opinions from different sides. Read the excerpts carefully and write your response in about 300 words, in which you should:
1. summarize briefly the different opinions;
2. give your comment.

Lahowl: Students have the right to be able to choose a broad education. Every child and young person are entitled to experience a broad general education. Even if a student does not aim to be a professional musician they should still have the opportunity to learn an instrument. A career is not the only, or the most important, part of an adult’s life—school needs to make sure they have interests and skills that will help them in their family and leisure life too.
Megan: Extra-curricular activities are prohibitively expensive for schools. Giving a greater place in education to the extra-curriculum means that many more clubs and activities will have to be organised for students. This will be very expensive as it will require more staff and more resources to be paid for. This explains why most schools that currently offer a large extra-curriculum are well-funded fee-paying institutions.
NimmO: Extra-curricular activities have important health benefits. Most extra-curricular activities are physically active, getting the students out from behind their desks and making them try new things. Physical activity is extremely important for general health whilst ensuring that students are exposed to practical tasks, not just what is taught in class. Sport clubs and teams give students the opportunity to do physical exercise in an enjoyable environment.
TVO: Making extra-curricular activities compulsory makes them less attractive to students. It will take the fun out of it and strip it of its benefits. In the end, the key is fun. Successful extra-curricular groups work precisely because the students have voluntarily chosen to be there. If some were forced to take part, they would be less enthusiastic and spoil the activity for the rest. And the more the activity is like ordinary school, the less attractive it will be to young people. Most of the personal development benefits associated with extra-curricular commitments—such as altruistic service, initiative-taking, and leadership skills—come from the voluntary nature of the activity.
Estelle: Extra-curricular activities encourage interpersonal interactions that are good for building a strong civil society. Boosting the place of the extra-curriculum in schools is one way of addressing a weakness in modern society, a lack of civil strength and community. Activities offered in schools are vital in providing opportunities to learn the diverse skills, and helping to equip young people with the civic spirit, initiative and organizing skills to set up their own clubs, teams and activity groups when they leave education. A successful extra-curriculum often depends on building links between the school and the wider community, bringing local enthusiasts in to work with students, and sending students out to work on community projects.
Nicola: Students should focus on gaining the specialist skills they need for their chosen professions. Most specialist professions still provide a range of career opportunities, without any need to compromise academic education by over-emphasis on non-academic activities. There are concerns that schools do not focus enough on core subjects. School-leavers and even graduates lack basic literacy and numeracy skills, according to a survey of big employers.

答案
Whether the Extra-Curriculum Should Be Attached Great Importance in Schools and Colleges? It is worth pointing out that the purpose of education is not only to know how to make bread, but also to know how to taste bread sweet. The latter can only be taught in extra-curricular activities apart from academic training. In actuality, the non-academic activities can furnish the educated with the weapon for the mental well-being. Advocates of extra-curricular activities suggest that the endowed right of receiving a broad education has been shown due respect with the bonus of health benefits in the activities which, furthermore, foster a strong civil society by building links between the school and community service. On the other hand, the opposites complain about the prohibitive cost for activities and the urgent social demand for professional talents with literacy and numeracy skills, and the unexpected deprivation of joy in the seemingly compulsory activities. The diversified extra-curricular activities could possibly supply the educated with a platform for mental well-being. To begin with, in education, more often than not, one uniform approach, especially mechanical memorization and implantation, has been adopted in academic teaching, without proper consideration for students who do not learn by the methods employed. Those who fall into less feasible learning models in classrooms are considered as either delinquent or introverted students who are often the victims of the poor academic achievement. Fortunately, given the chance, those assumed academically poor students could form their identity, by discovering their weaknesses and strengths in activities, such as gardening, crafts, cookery and dance, and possibly meet their soul mates which are the endurable treasure for their lives based on the same interest and experience. Most importantly, team spirit, an indispensable tool for one’s success in career and life, could be, to a large extent, enacted in those non-academic activities, because of the mutual appreciation and compromise received and giving in the group of sports, musical activities, debate, etc. It is safely concluded, based on the above arguments, that extra-curriculum is doubtless a treasure island worthy of investment and exploration for one’s mental well-being.
