Whether military training is still necessary for freshmen has become a heated topic in China recently. Some people maintain that it is not and should be canceled. For one thing, military training is nothing but kind of torture, causing horrible sudden death time and again. For another, the training seems ineffective since most students resume their idling lifestyles at the end of the training.

However, other people believe that military training is a must for today’s spoiled youth. First of all, it makes them more likely to persist

instead of escaping in face of hardships. Second, the self-discipline and teamwork spirit students develop are invisibly valuable wealth for their future. Last but not least, it provides a good chance for students to learn more on military and broaden their horizons.

Generally, I agree with those advocating for military training. However, I insist that some training programs should be modified or carried out carefully. For example, when trainees have to stand for hours in the hot sun, trainers and teachers should watch closely their physical conditions to prevent the tragedy of sudden death from happening.

   Is it necessary for universities to hold military training for the freshmen now? Different people have different opinions. The opponents say it is a waste of time because what the students learn from it is of no use to their real life. Besides, they also worry about the safety due to the increasing cases of students who got injured or died in it.

However, the supporters hold the view that the military training is very beneficial. They believe that it can nurture students’ sense of unity and discipline and foster students’ patriotism as well. What is more, the advocators regard the military training as a good chance for students coming from different cities to know and help each other, which will help them ease the feeling of homesickness.

Personally, I think the military training is not a bad thing if effective measures are taken to avoid the potential risks involved in it. With careful consideration and preparation, it can not only have a good influence on students’ character, but also help students learn how to cooperate with other people.
