Camping as a cheaper and freer way of spending a holiday has become the great pursuit of outdoor activity among an increasing number of young people. // As a matter of fact, modern camping sites are well equipped with facilities which will meet the basic needs of campers.// What attracts young people most is not the low cost and freedom, but the closeness to nature when living in the wilderness.// Camping provides us with a real change from our urban way of life. For a few precious days in the year, we adopt a new way of life, which is the essence of real recreation and enjoyment.
Passage 2:
Today, I am going to talk about the role of the university in the 21st century. I have chosen not one, but several different roles which will be important for universities in the future. // First, the university will take on an even larger role in assisting pre-college education in preparing students for study and work. // Second, partnership with corporations and businesses will become a greater part of university involvement. The next century will see an expansion of partnerships of this type, particularly with research universities.// Finally, the university will play a world role as a result of convenient communication worldwide, greater opportunities for trade, and the development of multinational corporations.
