参考答案（新东方版）：
When it comes to academic study and extracurricular activities, though it would be a challenge to strike a balance, it is universally acknowledged that academic study and extracurricular activities should be attached equal importance for students who pursue a colorful and fulfilled campus life.
There are numerous factors that should be taken into consideration. First of all, for students, without the ability to schedule one’s time and energy, it would be risky to leave academic study behind. After all, academic study comes first for all students who pay for their education in the university. At the same time, practical or social experience from extracurricularactivities count a lot. With practical or social experience, students will be equipped with initiative and channels to obtain what they want and achieve their goals. However, if students are engaged in too many extracurricular activities, their academic study would be inevitably affected, and they would lose concentration on both sides.
To sum up, a balanced campus life should give equal significance to both academic study and extracurricular activities. With a solid knowledge foundation from the former one and a practical or social experience from the latter, students will have a fruitful life in university.
