参考范文：
Ever since the change of the two-day weekend, we college students have enjoyed it tremendously. For example, some students spend the time taking part in various social activities. Some go into middle schools to practise teaching. There’s no doubt that the two-day weekend gives us the opportunities for learning from real life as well as from textbooks.
But some students tend to idle away their time. At every weekend, they would go back home located in another city. Some haunt cinemas or go window-shopping and some just stay in bed daydreaming. In their eyes, weekend is only a time for relaxation.
As for me, I’ll not waste the two days that way. Being a law student, I’ll go into the court at the weekend and participate in conducting defense or other activities in the trying of a case. Only by practising can I be fully prepared for my future job.
