Sixty percent of the students say that it is OK for students to take part in talent shows. On the one hand, they may be able to win a good prize if they are talented in something. Then they will become famous quickly. On the other hand, talent shows give students a good way to make their dreams come true. However, forty percent of the students disagree. They think it takes students much time to practice. This may make them spend less time on study. Also, it is not easy to succeed. What’s more, some students may even give up studying to prepare for a - 13 -competition. In my opinion, as long as students are talented, they can have a try because they can learn a lot whether they can win or not.- 14 -
