The requirements for high school graduation have just changed in my community. As a result, all students must 1sixty hours of service learning, 2they will not receive a diploma. Service learning is academic learning that also helps the community. 3of service learning include cleaning up a polluted river, working in a soup kitchen, or tutoring a student. 4a service experience, students must keep a journal（日志）and then write a 5about what they have learned.
Supporters claim that there are many 6of service learning. Perhaps most importantly, students are forced to think 7their own interests and become 8of the needs of others. Students are also able to learn real-life skills that 9responsibility, problem-solving, and working as part of a team. 10, students can explore possible careers 11service learning.
For example, if a student wonders what teaching is like, he or she can choose to work in an elementary school classroom a few afternoons each month. 12there are many benefits, opponents （反对者） 13problems with the new requirement. First, they 14that the main reason students go to school is to learn core subjects and skills. Because service learning is time-consuming, students spend 15time studying the core subjects. Second, they believe that forcing students to work without 16goes against the law. By requiring service, the school takes away an individual's freedom to choose.

I think the best 20is one that gives students choices: a student should be able to choose sixty hours of independent study or sixty hours of service. Choice encourages both freedom and responsibility, and as young adults, we must learn to handle both wisely.
