【作文參考範文】：
There is an old saying “Never go out there to see what happens， go out there to make things happen”。 It’s the experience of our forefathers，however，it is correct in many cases even today。
Only when you participate more can you make things perfect。 Participation has been more and more important in the society。 Students are asked to enter society and get some ideas of it。 Surely participation has many advantages。 Firstly， it can offer students a chance to contact society and meet different kinds of people。 In this way people can gain some valuable social experience， which will be useful to their future life。 Secondly， as college students， we can apply what they have learned in class to practical work， thus knowing themselves more clearly。 Take the study of oral English for example， participation in any chances of communications with others in English， which enables us to become fluent in speaking。
In summary， participation is the key factor in our daily life no matter who you are， no matter what you are doing。 We should put their studies in the first place and see participation just as a useful supplement， so they ought to try to strike a balance between them。

【翻譯】
中國父母往往過於關注孩子的學習，以至於不要他們幫忙做家務。他們對孩子的唯一要求就是努力學習，考得好，能上名牌大學。他們相信這是為孩子好，因為在中國這樣競爭激烈的社會裡，只有成績好才能保證前途光明。中國父母還認為，如果孩子能在社會上取得大的'成就，父母就會受到尊敬。因此，他們願意犧牲自己的時間、愛好和興趣，為孩子創造更好的條件。
Chinese parents have frequently tended to pay too much attention to their children's study, so that children don’t help them do the housework. Their only requirement for their children is to study hard, perform well in the exams, and go to a famous/prestigious university. They believe it is good for their children, because in such a highly competitive society, only good results could ensure a promising future. Chinese parents also believe that parents will be honored if their children can achieve great success in society. Therefore, they are willing to sacrifice their own time, hobbies and interests, to create much better conditions for children.
