Excerpt
Tianjin University has recently opened a selective course on love, which gives students tips on dating to help ensure a successful relationship. The selective course explains in detail romantic relationships, as well as techniques on how to handle them. The course is called “Love Theory and Practice”, and covers a wide range of topics from dating tips and etiquette, to counseling.
“It’s hard to find a girlfriend when there are more guys than girls in our school. So I’m here to learn something about it,” said a student. “I came here because I have no idea how to get to know the guy that I’ve had a crush on,” said another student.
Over 800 students applied for a seat in the class soon after its debut in March. Its popularity has been far beyond the school’s expectation.
“Feedback has mostly been positive. Students are eager to know more, especially when it comes to dating and dressing etiquette, and proper conversation styles,” said Xie Shu, counselor at Tianjin University. “Many of my friends came to complain about their relationship problems and asked for advice. I realized that they didn’t have a proper attitude towards love and didn’t know how to cope with problems well. That further affected their studies. So we decided to set up the love courses to guide them,” she said.

As is shown in the above excerpt, lectures on love affairs have become wildly popular in Tianjin University, igniting students’ passion for putting the knowledge of love into the practice of intimate relations. I am a strong champion of such an innovative course, as it can make a positive change to romantic values and relationships of college students. (Viewpoint)
Actually, the popularity of the love course reflects students’ longing for love and eagerness for related psychological knowledge. (Topic Sentence) It has not been rare for college students to have trouble in dealing with romantic relationships. A love guidance course, however, can help them understand what goes behind a healthy romantic relationship, and further offer professional tips on how to handle relationship problems.
Moreover, university education is not just about academic achievement. (Topic Sentence) Apart from studying, college students should also establish positive values of healthy relationships, which will affect their future attitude toward handling intimate marital partnerships. For many college students in China, it is often their first time to get involved in a love relationship with another after dedicating themselves to studies for years. Therefore, love education should be offered to enhance their capacity to deal with problems in love in order to ensure successful romantic relationships.
In conclusion, necessary educational resources should be channeled into supporting the setting up of love-related courses in colleges and universities. (Conclusion) What’s more, long-term guidance should be given to college students on their romantic relationships, which requires continuous joint efforts.
