标题:The Impact of Social Media on College Students' Mental Health
Abstract:
With the rapid development of social media platforms, more and more college students are becoming active users of these platforms. This paper aims to explore the impact of social media on college students' mental health. Through a literature review and analysis of existing studies, this paper finds that while social media offers numerous benefits, such as increased connectivity and information sharing, it also poses potential risks to college students' mental health, including increased levels of anxiety, depression, and loneliness. This paper concludes by discussing the importance of awareness and education about responsible social media usage and suggests potential strategies for promoting positive mental health among college students.
Keywords: social media, mental health, college students, anxiety, depression, loneliness
1. Introduction
Social media has become an integral part of college students' lives, providing them with a platform to connect with friends, share experiences, and access information. However, the impact of social media on mental health has been a topic of concern in recent years. This paper aims to examine the relationship between social media usage and college students' mental health.
2. Literature Review
Numerous studies have explored the impact of social media on mental health. Research has consistently found a positive correlation between heavy social media usage and increased levels of anxiety, depression, and loneliness among college students. For example, a study by Kross et al. (2013) found that passive Facebook usage, such as scrolling through newsfeeds without actively engaging, was associated with decreased well-being and increased loneliness. Similarly, another study by Lin et al. (2016) found that excessive social media usage was linked to higher levels of depression among college students.
3. Discussion
The negative impact of social media on mental health can be attributed to several factors. Firstly, social media can lead to social comparison, where individuals compare their own lives to the carefully curated and often idealized lives of others, leading to feelings of inadequacy and lower self-esteem. Secondly, social media can contribute to a fear of missing out (FOMO), as individuals constantly see others engaging in exciting activities and events. This can create anxiety and a sense of exclusion. Lastly, social media can disrupt sleep patterns and lead to addictive behaviors, further exacerbating mental health issues.
4. Conclusion
While social media offers numerous benefits, it is crucial to acknowledge and address the potential negative impact it can have on college students' mental health. It is important for educational institutions and mental health professionals to promote awareness and education about responsible social media usage. Strategies such as incorporating digital literacy and social media wellness programs into college curricula, providing counseling services, and encouraging offline social interactions can help mitigate the negative effects of social media on mental health among college students.

标题:The Role of Extracurricular Activities in College Students' Personal and Professional Development
Abstract:
Extracurricular activities play a vital role in college students' personal and professional development. This paper aims to explore the benefits of participating in extracurricular activities for college students. Through a literature review and analysis of existing studies, this paper finds that involvement in extracurricular activities can enhance students' academic performance, develop leadership and teamwork skills, improve time management and organizational skills, and foster personal growth and self-confidence. This paper concludes by discussing the implications of these findings and suggesting potential strategies for promoting and supporting extracurricular involvement among college students.
Keywords: extracurricular activities, college students, personal development, professional development, academic performance, leadership skills
1. Introduction
Extracurricular activities refer to activities that take place outside of the regular academic curriculum, such as sports, clubs, volunteer work, and internships. These activities provide college students with opportunities to engage in various interests and pursuits beyond their academic studies. This paper aims to examine the role of extracurricular activities in college students' personal and professional development.
2. Literature Review
Numerous studies have highlighted the benefits of participating in extracurricular activities for college students. Research has consistently found that involvement in extracurricular activities is positively associated with academic performance. For example, a study by Mahoney et al. (2005) found that students who participated in extracurricular activities had higher grade point averages and better attendance records compared to non-participants. Additionally, involvement in extracurricular activities has been linked to the development of leadership skills, teamwork abilities, time management, and organizational skills.
3. Discussion
Participation in extracurricular activities offers college students a range of benefits. Firstly, it enhances academic performance by promoting discipline, time management, and goal-setting skills. Students involved in extracurricular activities often exhibit higher levels of motivation and engagement in their academic pursuits. Secondly, extracurricular involvement provides opportunities for personal growth and self-discovery. Students can explore their interests and passions, develop new hobbies, and gain a sense of identity and belonging. Lastly, participation in extracurricular activities helps students develop essential professional skills, such as leadership, teamwork, communication, and problem-solving, which are highly valued by employers.
4. Conclusion
Extracurricular activities play a crucial role in college students' personal and professional development. It is important for educational institutions to recognize and support the value of extracurricular involvement. Strategies such as offering a wide range of extracurricular options, providing resources and mentorship for students, and incorporating experiential learning opportunities into the curriculum can help maximize the benefits of extracurricular activities for college students. By actively promoting and supporting extracurricular involvement, colleges can contribute to the holistic development and success of their students.

As it is known to all, the powerof words can be equal to a gun. When you say something ill to someone else, you’re,to some extent, setting up a destructive relationship with him. Instead, if youinspire others by uplifting words, the contribution to strengthen yourfriendship can be significant. However, whether the words are anti-ear or not,there is no doubt that they do succeed in making their way to impress you atall times.
众所周知,语言的力量等同于一把枪。在你对别人说一些不好的话时,在某一程度上,你和他就建立了一个消极 的关系。相反,如果你用一些令人振奋的话鼓舞他的话,对加强你们的友谊有着显著的贡献。然而,不管语言是否中听,毫无疑问,他们总是能让你成功的表达自己。
Personally, there are specificwords that impress me a lot. It's the final exam in junior high school. Unfortunately,I failed though I had made a good preparation before it. I never knew whetherothers laughed at me at that time. What aroused me, though, were the words frommy classmates--It never rains, but it pours--from which I benefit a lot. Iguess that it's his inspiring words that set off my inner motivation to feelgood about myself again.
就我个人而言,有些特定的话让我印象深刻。我初中的期末考试。不幸的是,虽然我之前有好好的准备考试,但我并没有及格。当时我并不知道别人是否在嘲笑我。是什么唤醒了我呢,是我同学说的话——祸不单行——从中我受益很多。我猜是他鼓舞人心的话,激起我的内在动机让我对自己感觉良好。
From my own perspective,realizing that we human beings are in need of positive reinforcement, I attachgreat importance to speaking inspiring words whenever it is needed.
从我自己的角度来看,我们人类需要的正强化,我非常重视在需要的时候说鼓舞人心的话。

Human life can not continue without science and technology. For many years, human society has developed with the advance of science and technology while the development of science and technology has in turn brought the process to mankind. So the life we are living now is more civilized than that of our fore fathers.
没有科学技术,人类的生活不能继续。多年来,随着科学技术的发展,人类社会的发展也在不断地发展,人类社会的发展也给人类带来了过程。所以我们现在的生活比我们的父辈更加文明。
The development of science and technology have brought about many changes in people's life. For example, the invention of television and space rocket have opened a new era for mankind. Through the use of TV people can hear the sound and learn the events happening thousands of miles away. Owing to the invention of spaceship and rocket, the dream of man's landing on the moon has now come true.
科学技术的发展给人们的生活带来了许多变化。例如,电视和太空火箭的发明为人类开启了一个新纪元。通过电视,人们可以听到声音,并了解发生在千里之外的事情。由于宇宙飞船和火箭的发明,人类登月的梦想现在已经实现了。
Science and technology also play an important role in our socialist construction. We may say, our socialist construction is just like a skyscraper, while science and technology are its base. Without the base, the skyscraper can't be built. Therefore, we should try our best to contribute to the development of science and technology so as to provide a more solid base to build our country.
科技在我们的社会主义建设中也发挥着重要的作用。我们可以说,我们的社会主义建设就像一座摩天大楼,而科学技术是它的基础。没有这个基础,摩天大楼就不能建造。因此,我们应该尽我们的努力为科学技术的发展做出贡献,为建设我国的发展提供更为坚实的基础。

一、研究方法
(一)调查对象
针对河北省近两年对商务英语人才的需求,调查对象选取自河北省人才市场2011—2012年度招聘单位和招聘岗位的数据记录。对于商务英语人才的培养,由于本科毕业生是人才市场需求的主要对象,本科院校又是向社会输送高素质高水平人才的主要机构,因此我们选取了河北省内12所本科院校进行调研,它们是河北大学、华北电力大学、燕山大学、河北联合大学、河北工业大学、河北外国语学院、河北经贸大学、河北科技大学、河北农业大学、河北师范大学、河北医科大学、石家庄铁道学院。(排名不分先后)
(二)研究方法
通过问卷调查、对用人单位相关人员和高校师生进行访谈等形式获取数据,保证数据的全面性和准确性。
(三)数据统计
对调查得到的数据进行统计、对比和分析,结果客观可靠。针对问题分析原因并提出相应的解决对策。
二、调查内容、结果与分析
(一)河北省就业市场对商务英语人才需求状况和满意度的调查
我们对河北省人才市场相关工作人员进行访谈,同时查找近两年关于河北省高校毕业生就业招聘方面的相关报道,针对商务英语人才的需求得到以下结果。
1.外贸及商务英语岗位的需求
河北省人才市场于2011和2012年春秋两季各举行一次大型人才交流会,其中春季为主场,主要面向高校毕业生,秋季为辅助,为满足用人单位岗位补充。2012年人才交流会记录数据显示有1000多家用人单位,提供了2万多就业岗位,其中外贸、国际贸易领域的工作岗位占,比上年增长。可见就业市场对此领域的人才需求较大,且呈上升趋势。外贸、商务英语专业人才需求的企业主要集中在制造业(约占)、商贸企业(约占)、服务业(约占)和金融行业(约占)。这种情况主要是由于外贸企业为适应国际市场新要求,调整产品生产结构,扩张新兴市场,急需大量国际贸易、国际金融及商务英语专业的应用型人才。可见,商务英语人才培养前景是乐观的。
2.对商务英语人才学历要求的调查
就业市场数据显示,河北省经济发展对外贸及商务英语专业人才的学历要求主要集中在本、专科学历两种。要求本科或本科以上学历的企业数占总数的47.9%,专科占44.6%,对学历不做要求的占7.5%。这说明高等院校是开展商务英语专业人才培养的重要机构,且商务英语专业对本科学历要求越来越普遍。
3.用人单位对商务英语人才的利用程度和满意度调查
我们选择了唐山和石家庄两地共30家招收外贸及商务英语专业毕业生的公司,调查他们对毕业生的利用情况和工作满意程度,结果显示其中有23家对商务英语毕业生在工作的第一年不会或很少单独安排任务或项目,而是由公司老员工带领或进行短期培训,原因是学生的商务实践能力和经验缺乏,同时英语实境应用能力也需要进一步加强。调查中,有近一半的公司对商务英语毕业生的综合素质打出了60分以下的成绩,原因是他们专业和语言知识欠扎实,人际沟通和融入社会能力亟待培养。
(二)河北省本科院校商务英语专业发展情况调查
研究人员针对河北省商务英语本科人才需求量较大的现状,对我省12所重点本科院校的商务英语专业设置和发展情况进行了调查,涉及以下几个方面:
1.商务英语本科专业的设置
本次调查的12所本科院校(如前所述)是河北省本科人才重点输出院校,每年本科毕业生占全省所有毕业生数量的三分之二。调查显示,12所院校中有三所(占25%)设立了商务英语本科专业,毕业颁发文学学士学位,它们是河北师范大学、河北外国语大学和河北经贸大学。有两所院校(占16.7%)设立了商务英语专科专业,它们是河北工业大学和河北农业大学。其余如河北大学、燕山大学、河北联合大学、华北电力大学在本科学生中不同程度地开设了外贸及商务英语方面的课程,丰富其本科学生的培养目标,扩大毕业生就业方向。总体看,商务英语本科专业在河北省的发展尚且缓慢,可以推断每年的毕业生里具有本科学历、受过语言和商贸专业知识两方面系统教育的学生为数不多,这也是导致我省外贸企业招聘难和企业对从事外贸的英语专业毕业生满意度不高的直接原因。
2.商务英语本科专业的课程设置
从课程设置来看,走访的商务英语本科专业的三所院校均采用了语言知识与技能+商务知识与技能的课程设置模式,即围绕商务英语的听、说、读、写、译训练,加上经济学和管理学范畴内的一些课程。但它们体现的问题是英语技能方面训练得较为扎实,而商务专业知识学得笼统、零散、缺乏理论体系和必要实践。同时,跨文化交际能力和人文素质培养方面的课程也较少,这些都反映出仅重视知识而轻视素质的课程体系特征。从师资来看,商务英语老师多数是语言文学专业出身的教师,有的仅进行过商务专业知识的短期进修,他们虽具有扎实的英语语言基本功,但仍缺乏商务知识和商务实践经验。即便是商务英语专业出身的老师,也都缺乏实践经验。
3.商务英语本科专业的教学方法与手段
从调查的已设立商务英语专业的本科院校及开设商务英语课程的其他院校走访来看,它们基本上还是在采取传统的教学方法和手段,即主要依靠老师在课堂上讲解理论或术语,学生在虚拟的情境下练习商务写作,翻译书本上的商务资料,几乎没有社会实践机会。这种做法很容易导致学生所学知识与外贸实践相脱节,达不到真正的教学效果,也是毕业生得不到用人单位认可的主要原因。
4.商务英语本科专业的教学测试与评价
在调查的院校中,外贸及商务英语方面的课程考核方式几乎百分之百仍是传统的书面考试形式,忽视了商务英语重在应用的学科特点。其中,河北经贸大学为商务英语毕业生提供实习机会,但缺乏对学生在实习中对商务英语知识应用能力的评价反馈。
三、河北省本科院校商务英语专业人才培养模式的建议
商务英语(EBP)作为专门用途英语(ESP)的一个分支,它的发展是大势所趋。其人才培养模式也应该区别于英语语言文学专业,与时俱进并体现自身特色。针对河北省高校商务英语专业人才培养模式,课题组提出以下建议:
(一)增加本科院校商务英语专业的数量
河北省高等教育主管部门应重视本科院校商务英语专业的设置,对有资格有条件的本科院校增设国际商务学院或外国语学院中增加商务英语系,加大投入,为培养更多的商务英语高学历人才提供条件。
(二)确立合理的商务英语人才培养目标
为了加强和规范全国高等学校商务英语本科专业教学,国家教育部起草了《高等学校商务英语专业本科教学要求》(试行)。河北省商务英语本科专业院校也应该严格按照上述教学要求制定合理的专业培养目标。目标应涵盖扎实的英语基本功、宽阔的国际化视野、合理的国际商务知识与技能,掌握经济、管理、法学等相关学科基本知识,具备较高的人文素养和跨文化交际沟通能力,实践创新能力强等几大方面。
(三)优化商务英语课程设置和教学模式
建议已设立商务英语本科专业的院校在现有的英语技能和商务专业知识若干课程的基础上,增加跨文化交际能力(思维、适应、沟通)和人文素养(政治思想修养、创新思维、中外文化素养)等方面的课程,培养学生在懂知识、有技能的基础上,更具备全球意识,通晓国际惯例,具有坚定的政治立场和高尚的道德情操。应改革传统的教学方法,设立更多的商务英语培训、实习基地或实践中心,为学生创造处理商务事宜的真实环境,使学生学以致用,增强实践能力。
(四)加大商务英语师资建设
河北省高校商务英语教育师资匮乏,应大力培养一支英语功底深、商务知识丰富、商务实践经验丰富的师资队伍。首先,输送教师到企事业单位进行实践学习,丰富教师阅历,提高实践能力;其次,派遣教师参与与商务相关的研讨活动,提高教师的教学和科研能力。教育主管部门和各大院校只有积极探索,勇于创新商务英语人才培养模式,解决现有问题,改革弊端,才能保证商务英语人才培养目标的实现,为河北省经济和社会发展培养出高水平、高素质的优秀的商务英语人才。
