The Most Important Quality of a College Student

Many people describe their college years as thebest time of their lives. However, not every studentachieves the same level of success. This raise thequestion: What is the most essential qualityneeded to succeed in one’s higher education

Personally, of all attributes that can contributeto a successful college career, the most importantone is effective time management. To begin with, students who know how to manage their timeeffectively will be able to ensure strong academic performance. While getting high grades inby no means the only aspect of success for undergraduates, students who fail in most or all oftheir courses could hardly be considered successful. In addition, time-managementconsciousness can enable students to become more socially successful. University is not justan academic experience, but also a social one. Students who fail to budget their time and, inturn, fall behind in their studies, will have fewer opportunities to hang out with friends andclassmates.

For the above reasons, I believe that time management is the most important quality for acollege students.

大学生最重要的素质

很多人将他们的大学时代描述为生活中最美好的时光。不过，并不是每个学生都能取得同样的成功。这也提出了一个问题：大学生要在高等教育中取得成功最重要的素质是什么

我认为，在可以促成大学生活成功的品质中，最重要的是有效的时间管理。首先，那些知道如何有效管理时间的学生也能够保证较高的学业成绩。虽然，对于大学生来说，高分并不是大学成功的唯一方面，但那些大多数科目或者全部考试不及格的学生几乎也不会被认为是成功的。另外，具有时间管理意识也能促进学生在社交方面更加成功。大学不仅是学业经历，也是社会体验。那些没有合理安排时间的学生在学习上也会被落下，也就没什么机会跟他们的朋友和同学交往。

基于以上原因，我认为时间管理技能是大学生最重要的素质。

【写作思路】

首段从大学生活叹气，随后通过一问一答形式引出全文论点：大学生最重要的素质是有效管理时间。下文阐释了两点原因：1. 有效地时间管理能保证较高的学业成绩;2. 能拥有积极的社交生活。末端再次强调观点。
