With the decrease of global economy, the universities have reduced the cost. Leaders are talking about how to distribute funding in an appropriate way. Some argue that fund should be used in class, sports and library. while, I believe that class and library should have priority, especially considering the factors of updating the facilities. Firstly, the responsibility of the university is teaching. Libraries and class rooms are symbols of knowledge, improve the support will be beneficial to their scholarship. For example, with the finical support, our library had invited the Economy Noble prize owner John to gave us a letter. After his wonderful speech, many students decided to learn economy. Under his enthusiasm, many people are exploring some interesting areas which is beneficial for economy field. Second, updating facilities will cost money. When the budget could be used in updating the libraries and classrooms , they can offer better services. Take my classmate as and example, he downloaded a data paper from library websites when he prepared a paper. Some argue that these data papers cost a lot of money. However, he claimed it reduced lot of time. Without theses data papers, he couldn’t finish the paper. Besides, our teaching builds are urge to be repaired. Admittedly, compared with others, this should have priority. In conclusion, I believe more money should be cost in libraries and classrooms updating. Admittedly, exercise and activities are crucial parts pf universities. I totally agree that students should attend these activities to keep up their’s physical and emotional health. However,the cost of these activities should be lower than universities, because of low frequency. The students always spend more time on doing homework in classrooms and libraries, while they just spend several hours on doing sports. In conclusion, we have to admit that although doing exercise and activities are important to students, universities are the place which used for study.

6.文章修订
Due to the global economic downturn, universities are facing budget cuts and need to prioritize their spending. I believe that academic classes and libraries should receive more financial support than sports and social activities, as they are essential for fulfilling the primary purpose of universities: education.
Firstly, the primary responsibility of a university is to provide quality education. Libraries and classrooms are symbols of knowledge, and improving their support will be beneficial to students' scholarship. For instance, with financial support, our university was able to invite Nobel Prize-winning economist John Smith to give a lecture on economic development. After his insightful speech, many students were inspired to study economics. Under his guidance, numerous individuals have explored interesting areas in the field of economics, contributing significantly to its advancement.
Secondly, updating facilities requires substantial funding. Allocating budgets for upgrading libraries and classrooms will enable them to offer better services. Take my classmate as an example; he downloaded a research paper from the library website while preparing for an assignment. Although some argue that these research papers can be expensive, he claimed that it saved him a significant amount of time. Without access to these resources, he would not have been able to complete his assignment efficiently. Moreover, our teaching buildings are in dire need of repair; compared with other aspects of university life, this should take precedence.
Admittedly, sports and social activities play an important role in university life; they contribute significantly to students' physical and emotional well-being. However, the cost of these activities should be lower than that of academic classes and libraries because students spend less time participating in them compared to studying.
In addition to prioritizing funding for academic resources over sports and social activities, universities could also explore alternative sources of funding for these non-academic pursuits. For example, they could collaborate with local businesses or seek sponsorships from alumni who value the importance of extracurricular activities in shaping well-rounded individuals.
In conclusion, while sports and social activities are essential aspects of university life, they should not be prioritized over academic resources such as classes and libraries. Universities must allocate their limited financial resources wisely to ensure that their primary mission—providing quality education—is not compromised. By investing more in academic facilities and seeking alternative funding for extracurricular activities, universities can strike a balance between academics and other aspects of student life, ultimately benefiting all stakeholders involved.
