How to Balance Academic Study and Extracurricular Activities
There is a saying that all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy; all play and no work makes Jack a mere boy. It is the same as the relationship between academic study and extracurricular activities. Then how to balance them?
On one hand, extracurricular activities should be regarded as an effective way to improve the understanding of basic knowledge. So we can design some extracurricular activities that are related to the themes of academic knowledge in class, such as English speech contests and debations based on the learned topics.
On the other hand, it is necessary to improve efficiency of academic study, so we can design extracurricular activities, such as quiz competitions and sporting competitions, to broaden students’ horizon and build their strength as much as possible.
Therefore, only by these ways can we balance academic study and extracurricular activities.
