The requirements for high school graduation have just changed in my community. As a result, all students must
36 sixty hours of service learning,
37 they will not receive a diploma（文凭）.
38 of service learning include cleaning up a polluted river, working in a soup kitchen, or tutoring a student. During a service experience, students must keep a journal and then write a
39 about what they have learned.
Supporters state that there are many
40 of service learning. Perhaps most importantly, students are forced to think
41 their own interests and become aware of the needs of others. Students are also able to learn real-life skills that
42 responsibility, problem-solving, and working as part of a team. Finally, students can explore possible careers
43 service learning.
For example, if a student wonders what teaching is like, he or she can choose to work in a primary school classroom a few afternoons each month.
44 there are many benefits, opponents （反对者） point out problems with the new requirement. First, they
45 that ,because service learning is time-consuming, students spend
46 time studying the core subjects. Second, they believe that forcing students to work without
47 goes against the law.
In my view, service learning is a great way to
48 to the community, learn new skills, and explore different careers.
49 , I don’ t believe you should force people to help others – the
50 to help must come from the heart. I think the best solution is one that gives students choices. Choice encourages both freedom and responsibility.
