There is no denying the fact that it has been a hotly debated topic whether students should attend military training in China in the past years. Opinions on this issue differ sharply. Some hold the positive view. They say that the training can not only build up students’ bodies but also temper their willpower. Besides, through the training, students can develop their team-spirit and sense of discipline.
Others, however, hold the opposite view. They say that a short period of training as students are having now cannot work well in building up their bodies or strengthen their will. Instead, we should lay emphasis on their daily exercise and activities for such purpose. What’s more, a sudden increase of intense physical exercise, especially during summer, does harm to students’ health and may even cause deaths. What happened in the past years has proved this.
Weighing the pros and cons of these arguments, I am inclined to agree with the former point of view. Military training is not only a means to strengthen student’s physique and willpower, but also an effective way to enhance their sense of national defense and foster their patriotism. Though some deaths happened during the training, we should not give up eating for fear of choking. Besides, the deaths are perfect evidence that students need more such training. Of course, measures should be taken to ensure that the least harm is done to the trainees.
無可否認，這是一個激烈爭論的話題：學生是否應該參加在過去的幾年裏，中國的軍事訓練。對這個問題的意見大相徑庭。一些持正面看法。他們說，培訓不僅可以強健學生的體魄，也磨練他們的意志。此外，通過培訓，學生可以培養他們的團隊精神和紀律意識。
其他人，然而，持有相反的觀點。他們說，短期培訓的學生已不能很好地工作在建立他們的身體或加強他們的意志。相反，我們應該爲他們的日常鍛鍊和活動的重點。更重要的是，突然增加的劇烈運動，特別是在夏季，危害學生的身體健康，甚至會導致死亡。在過去的幾年裏發生的一切證明了這。
權衡得失這些爭論，我傾向於同意前者的`觀點。軍事訓練不僅是增強學生的體質和意志力，也增強了他們的國防意識，培養他們的愛國主義精神的有效途徑。雖然在訓練期間發生的死亡，我們不應該因噎廢食。此外，死亡是完美的證據，學生更需要這樣的培訓。當然，應採取措施確保受訓者最小的傷害。
