Key to Tests ? Test 1 Part Ⅰ Writing 参考范文： While college students are supposed to dedicate themselves to studies, some of them are in hot pursuit of fashion. Such craze to compete with each other is prevalent in colleges and universities. Undoubtedly, they have every reason to reverse the trend. Keeping up close with the fashion will definitely result in the unavoidable distraction from studies. Thus, students should have the right concept of value and concentrate themselves primarily on studies which should be on the top of their agenda. In my opinion, college students are also victims in the sense that they are heavily targeted by ads and are too young to resist the temptation of business promotional campaigns. Yet, being young should not be an excuse. As adults, college students should shoulder their responsibilities for themselves, for their parents and for society. Therefore, we must pour determined efforts into study and compete with our peers for better scholarly achievement instead of more expensive items.
