College Students: Marry or Not

Recently， the phenomenon of college students' getting married has caused public concern. From the legal point of view，college students should be given the right to choose an early marriage when they have found their beloved partners. But whether such choice is wise or not is quite another problem. I am opposed to marriage in college on account of its many disadvantages.

　　First， the biggest disadvantage， as far as I am concerned， is that college students， though physically mature， are not mentally and emotionally adult enough to take the responsibility of marriage.Marriage， apart from romance and promises， tastes bitter sometimes and appears to be more realistic and materialistic far beyond college students' imagination. They have to earn steady income to support family； they should take care of their behaviors instead of centering around only themselves； they also need to show loyalty to their marriage lots of things have to be cared about！ However， most college students， who themselves have not been independent financially of their parents， are far from fully prepared to take the responsibility of marriage. Love can never replace food to fill stomach， not can romance serve as fire to warm body up in winter. Then why should college lovebirds sign their names on the marriage certificate when in their hands only remain love and romance？

　　Besides， as to our college students， more things of greater importance stand before marriage， such as study， work， fulfilling the goal of life， making contributions to society and so on.Marriage is only part of life， not all of it. For college students，the main task is to study and get fully prepared before stepping into this competitive society. But still I've heard ora story about a 20 year-old girl who left college to get married with a rich man and later gave birth to a baby. The girl never went back to college again and her ambition of career remained nothing but a dream. Surely， such things won't happen to all the college couples， but the story shows us that marriage， being too time and energy consuming， is something we college students couldn't afford. So， we almost haven't plenty of time to deal with the piled exercise books， let alone marriage！

　　Last but not the least， the one you love in college may not be your suitable "better half" and an early marriage during college life is not always a wise one. You see， it is common for college students to get married in the U. S. ， but the divorce rate there is surprisingly high. A marriage ending up in divorce could not be a wise one and nor could a mate destined to be separated from you be regarded as a suitable partner. As was sung by the Beatles "Life Begins at Forty"， I would like to say that a perfect marriage occurs usually after 28， when we have gained much experience of life and have built a solid financial foundation.

　　Certainly， an early marriage does show some benefits. As the younger parents will only be senior to their kids by some 20 years， the generation gap will be considerably narrowed and the parents will have more energy to play with their children. What a wonderful imaginary picture a lovely kid is running after his or her young parents playing hide and seek on the grassland，bursting out happy laughter from time to time， with the sun giving off pleasant warmness！

　　In sum， college students have the right to marry a suitable partner. However， they're not supposed to do so. Think twice before you leap， and it will benefit your whole life.

　　简 评

　　随着社会开放程度的提高，大学生的权利意识日益增强，象牙塔里是否能够筑爱巢，一时间也成了争论焦点。江峥同学对这一问题保持着冷静的头脑，有理有据地驳斥了爱情至上论者，得出结论：在校生结婚弊大于利。

　　文章结合大学生的成长特点和婚姻生活的现实要求，论证了早婚者将会面临的生活压力和早婚对学习及未来所造成的负面影响。结构清晰，关联词运用恰当，起承转合都有章法。各段主题句围绕全文中心层层展开论述，摆事实，讲道理，论证充分，说理明白。但是，倒数第二段突然转而论述大学生早婚的优点，在缺少与上下文的衔接的情况下，显得过于突兀，本来这是一种让步的写法，即承认自己否定的观点也有一定道理。但没有注意从让步自然地回归主题，就使这部分内容与文章的论点不符。
