■［体裁］议论文

■ Some students think talent shows are of great fun and can provide a colorful platform to show their talents，and it is also a way to release their pressure.But many parents and teachers hold different views.They think that taking part in talent shows will take a lot of time，energy and money，which should be used for study and doing other meaningful things.
■ In my opinion，I do not approve of taking part in this activity. As young people, we should make the most of our limited time and concentrate on our studies to gain more knowledge in order to better serve our country and people.
