[00:08.24]On College Students' Entering Military Service
[00:12.10]Recently there has been a considerable increase
[00:16.40]in the number of college students choosing to break off their studies
[00:20.74]and enter military service,
[00:22.98]which has become one of the most controversial topics
[00:26.94]in the society.
[00:28.49]Supporters say that military service is a very practical
[00:32.27]and valuable course through which young college students
[00:38.55]can learn a wide range of skills as well as becoming braver,
[00:42.01]tougher and stronger.
[00:43.69]However, others hold that college students
[00:47.20]should devote their college years to study
[00:49.73]rather than military service.
[00:51.79]If they really want to enter military service,
[00:55.27]there are still chances after their graduation;
[00:58.44]while the golden time for learning
[01:01.52]is impossible to recall once it is missed.
[01:04.44]I agree with the latter opinion.
[01:07.43]Admittedly, college students enlisted for military service are respectable.
[01:13.40]However, it is more advisable for them to grasp the golden opportunity
[01:18.54]to pick up new skills before joining the army.
