5. 语言使用Original:
I disagree with that the university use the students' money to build a new stadium or a gym, because I believe that the university has their own fund or the budget from the federal government or the state government, they shouldn't use the students' money. And many students have their tuition long, and many of them have a poor family, they are not loaded. As far as I know, I know a lot of my schoolmates have loans.
Revised:
I respectfully disagree with the idea of the university utilizing students' tuition fees to construct a new state-of-the-art sports center, including a stadium and gym. I firmly believe that the university should rely on its own funds or seek financial assistance from federal or state governments, rather than burdening students with additional costs.
Firstly, many students are already struggling with tuition loans and may come from financially disadvantaged backgrounds. Imposing an extra fee would only exacerbate their financial stress. For instance, several of my classmates are currently dealing with substantial student loans.
Secondly, it is crucial for universities to prioritize academic resources and ensure that all students have access to quality education. Allocating funds towards a sports center could potentially divert resources away from more pressing academic needs.
In conclusion, while a new sports center may be an attractive addition to the university, it should not be built at the expense of students' financial well-being. Alternative funding sources must be explored to avoid placing undue strain on the student body.
