The requirements for high school graduation have just changed in my community. As a result, all students must1sixty hours of service learning,2they will not receive a diploma. Service learning is academic learning that also helps the community. 3of service learning include cleaning up a polluted river, working in a soup kitchen, or tutoring a student. 4a service experience, students must keep a journal（日志）and then write a 5about what they have learned.
Supporters claim that there are many 6of service learning. Perhaps most importantly, students are forced to think 7their own interests and become 8of the needs of others. Students are also able to learn real-life skills that 9responsibility, problem-solving, and working as part of a team. 10, students can explore possible careers 11service learning.
For example, if a student wonders what teaching is like, he or she can choose to work in an elementary school classroom a few afternoons each month.12there are many benefits, opponents （反对者） 13problems with the new requirement. First, they 14that the main reason students go to school is to learn core subjects and skills. Because service learning is time-consuming, students spend 15time studying the core subjects. Second, they believe that forcing students to work without16goes against the law. By requiring service, the school takes away an individual's freedom to choose.
In my view, service learning is a great way to 17to the community, learn new skills, and explore different careers. 18, I don' t believe you should force people to help others – the 19to help must come from the heart. I think the best20is one that gives students choices: a student should be able to choose sixty hours of independent study or sixty hours of service. Choice encourages both freedom and responsibility, and as young adults, we must learn to handle both wisely.

"Hi, Jane, wave got a 76 here." I have concluded that the word "40 " is not used because they are unwilling to inform me of my condition of which I may not have been previously 41 .
On the other hand, others know that of course I can hear, but believe that I can’t talk. Once I became ill and was hospitalized. Immediately after I was 42 , I was wheeled down to the X-ray room.

Writing had basically me when I was only 7 years old, since that time, I’d been bombarded by guidance counselors and career planners who all me to have “a back-up plan” in case writing didn’t work out.
I’d never even a different career path, so I was very and worried. After much thought, I decided would be my “back-up plan,” and I signed up for a class through my high school.
This that every morning, I would serve as a teacher’s helper for my favorite 6th grade teacher, Mr. Ralston. Morning after morning, I showed up in Mr. Ralston’s classroom and papers for him.
