Task 1 :
Should students caught cheating in an exam be expelled from school?
In my opinion, the situation depends, if the student caught cheating in an exam for the very first time, the school might consider giving him or her the second chance, coz there might be some excusable reasons behind this inappropriate behavior; if being directly expelled, the student might be too shamed to continue his or her schooling, and end up hanging around with wrong people on the street, that would be a pity; on the other hand, if he or she is doing so for the second or even the third time, in that situation, the school should immediately take the action, coz the student is purposefully committing the wrongdoing and breaking the school rules, if he or she were not severely punished, nobody would remain honest in exams.
Task 2
Agree or disagree,college student should attend extracurricular activities?
I totally agree that college students should attend extracurricular activities; first, as an old saying goes, all work and no play make Jack a dull boy, nowadays, college students are under a huge amount of schoolwork pressure, a lot of them have to take classes like 8 hours, and then spend another 8 hours doing homework, so attending those activities can help them to relax and unwind, which will in turn improve their learning efficiency; second, attending extracurricular activities offers a great chance for students to socialize and make friends with each other, to practice and master communication or collaboration skills, which, besides academic learning, is crucial for an all round development in college.
