　　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”. Although these activities make our cultural life in campus more colorful and various, a lot of problems spring up at the same time.

　　First of all, these activities can result in the swelling of vanity in some students, making 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 a 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 become too enthusiastic about extracurricular activities and hate the academic knowledge ad skills they need to grasp for their future development.

　　On the whole, I think these various “ Campus Star” contests should be controlled in the campus. After all, schools are different from any other social institutions. Extracurricular activities should be encouraged, but they should be helpful to the students’ academic study and all-round development.
