Excerpt
Tongji University on Friday launched its education base for labor practices as part of efforts to improve students’ awareness for manual labor. Peng Zhenwei, the university’s deputy Party secretary, said the university would renovate some areas that had not been used for some time and make them suitable for students to experience different forms of labor.
One of the projects launched on the same day was a rooftop garden atop one of the teaching buildings on campus, where over 60 students sowed flower seedlings.
“When we finished planting the seedlings, we felt a sense of achievement. It was also a chance to apply what I have learned,” said Wang Hongtao, an undergraduate in landscape architecture at Tongji.
Chen Jing, the tutor of the project and a teacher in architecture and urban planning at Tongji, said the project would offer students an opportunity to connect with the natural world and respect lives. “They will get to understand the meaning of labor through hard work,” Chen said.
Eleven workshops for areas such as water treatment, house storage, and handicrafts will be made available to students as well.

精彩范文
The above excerpt reports that Tongji University has launched its education base for labor practice to improve students’ labor consciousness. In my eyes, such education practice is of great importance to all college students, as it can make positive changes to both their life and their academic studies, especially in the long run. (Viewpoint)
To be specific, the benefits of manual labor can go beyond physical fitness. (Topic sentence) College students today, increasingly overwhelmed with schoolwork, examinations, extracurricular activities, etc., pay little attention to manual labor that can actually help them manage stress. Moreover, some physical jobs do not require much strength or constant laboring, and they can also be mentally challenging to some extent.
Besides, such interactive learning practice can increase students’ awareness of self-reliance and develop their self-discipline and sense of order, which are foundations for their successful employment. (Topic sentence) Also, manual work helps promote a healthier lifestyle in view of the fact that many people nowadays sit by a desk all day long. Engaging in some labor work, one can have more opportunities to stay active during the day.
To conclude, it is advisable for college students to pay due attention to labor work and develop the habit of doing some manual work every day. (Conclusion) It is an important way for them to bring positive energy into their daily life and studies.
