26、训是必要的 2) 有些人认为军训没有必要 3) 我的观点,There is no denying the fact that it has been a hotly debated topic whether students should attend military training in China in the past years. Opinions on this issue differ sharply. Some hold the positive view. They say that the training can not only build up students
27、bodies but also temper their willpower. Besides, through the training, students can develop their team-spirit and sense of discipline.,Others, however, hold the opposite view. They say that a short period of training that students are having now cannot work well in building up their bodies or streng
28、then their will. Instead, we should lay emphasis on their daily exercise and activities for such purpose. Whats more, a sudden increase of intense physical exercise, especially during summer, does harm to students health and may even cause deaths.,Weighing the pros and cons of these arguments, I am
29、inclined to agree with the former point of view. Military training is not only a means to strengthen students physique and willpower, but also an effective way to enhance their sense of national defense and foster their patriotism. Though some deaths happened during the training, we should not give up eating for fear of choking. Besides, the deaths are perfect evidence that students need more such training. Of course, measures should be taken to ensure that the least harm is done to the trainees.,
