On Campus Marriage
There is a heated discussion these days since Chinese on-campus students are legally allowed to get married before they complete their courses. Some people applaud this new development while others have expressed their concern about this.
On the one hand, college students will inevitably have less time and energy for their academic life because married students have more realistic problems to deal with than those unmarried ones. On the other hand, a number of students do have a desire for an ideal marriage. They are old enough to take the responsibility and if they handle it well, marriage can bring them happiness and a sense of security.
In my opinion, it is unnecessary to forbid on-campus students to get married; however, it shouldn't be advocated or encouraged, either. The reason is that, for on-campus students, their main task is to acquire knowledge. If they get married, the family chores might distract them from studying, thus they may not graduate favorably or may not be capable of future works. I believe almost all on-campus students would deal with the question reasonably. (180 words)

论校园婚姻
这段时间，人们对允许大学生在完成学业前合法结婚一事议论纷纷。有些人赞成这个新进展，而有些人对此表示了关切。
从一方面看，高校学生用于学术研究的时间和精力将不可避免地减少，因为相对于那些未婚学生，已婚学生有更多的现实问题需要处理。从另一方面看，许多学生都渴望有个美满的婚姻。他们已经足够成熟，并且可以承担这一责任，如果他们把握得当，婚姻将会给他们带来快乐和安全感。
在我看来，没有必要禁止高校学生结婚;但既不能提倡，也不能鼓励。原因在于，对于高校生而言，他们的主要任务是获取知识。如果他们结婚了，家务杂事有可能导致他们在学业上分心，这样一来，他们便有可能无法顺利毕业，或者不能胜任将来的工作。我相信大部分学生能够理性地处理这个问题。
