▶ Topic :
Volunteer work should be mandatory for college students
▶ Your Answer :
These days, university students do a wide variety of extracurricular activities.
First and foremost, some students would not learn many things by doing mandatory volunteer works. To be specific, there must be some college students who do not want to use their valuable time on volunteering. If those students are forced to do volunteer works, they would not feel or learn anything during volunteer works.
On top of that, college students in these days have to focus on studying rather than volunteering. To explain, university students are experiencing fierce compeititions for jobs and grades have experienced fierce competition. In order to graduate from schools, they need to pour a lot of efforts into studying to study. If they have to spend their time on volunteer works, it would be difficult for them to pour all of their energy into their studying (이 부분은 앞 부분과 반복되어서 서술하였습니다). There is a case which can elucidate my point. There was a colleges in my town. In order to encourage students to contribute to local community, the school decided to require the minimum of 3 hours of volunteer works from all students. After implementing the new policy, the overall academic performance dropped significantly. The main reason was that the college students were not able to spend could not spend their time on studying. Majority of students complained that the volunteer work is a big burden for them. If the school had not required students to do volunteerwork, the students would have been able to focus on their studying.
To sum up, mandatory volunteer works can be meaningless for students who do not want to do. Moreover, it is better for university students to put their efforts into studying rather than voluenteering. For this reasons, I firmly believe that volunteer works should not be mandatory for university students.

약간의 어색한 표현들이 있습니다. 이러한 표현들은 에세이로 하여금 플로우를 방해합니다. 플로우가 방해를 받다 보면 무엇을 말하려고 하는 것인지 파악하기가 어렵기 때문에 제가 지적한 부분들을 숙지하면서 에세이를 서술하시길 바랍니다. 이러한 부분들을 재외하면 전체적으로 자신의 주장을 전달하고 있는 독립형 에세이입니다. 각 단락의 구체적 설명과 적절한 예시를 통해서 왜 봉사가 무조건 시행되면 안되는 지를 구체적으로 잘 설명하고 있습니다. 수고많으셨습니다.
