Firstly, university students who participate in online university activities after class might improve their communication skills which could be their benefits not only during their study in the university but also in their workplace. This means, university students might achieve better communications skills, while they are doing online university activities it is normally that they have to communicate with other students. As a result, many universities saw that online activities were important for their students and it became common that they try to improvise this for their students. Secondly, another reason why university students should engage in extracurricular online university activities is reducing stress from study. Stress is one of the problems that could happen in many university students which could be reduced by joining online university activities after class. For instance, if university students like to exercise they may do so by choosing group fitness online to be relaxing after they have stress from studying hard. Therefore, some university students that join online activities usually have less stress than those who just study all the time. ]]> 2020-05-07 06:45:02 UTC https://padlet.com/annduncan1/zmrujw5nw5vg/wish/556543491 Amber, Ethan, Boyed https://padlet.com/annduncan1/zmrujw5nw5vg/wish/556543926 here!]]> 2020-05-07 06:45:11 UTC https://padlet.com/annduncan1/zmrujw5nw5vg/wish/556543926 Boyd，Amber，Ethan- Team4 https://padlet.com/annduncan1/zmrujw5nw5vg/wish/556544068
It is better for students in university to take part in online university activities over class, just as it can help them to make new friends as well as enhance their own abilities in studying and living in universities. Firstly, the students in these activities are mates living and studying together. By engaging these activities they can show themselves to others and know the characters of others. For instance, in the conversation corner they can find new friends who are interested in the same topic as themselves are. In addition, the skills of talking to others in English and exchanging ideas can be made better during that time. Just as the students debating with each other in the debate club need to struggle to discuss topics deeply. Even maybe there are some topics they have never talked about before. As a result, they may learn a lot of things which are useful for their own study or living, such as thinking critically or a range of useful words.

There are two main reasons why university students should engage in extracurricular online university activities, which are increasing social ability and expand horizons. Firstly, the reason why university students should increase their social ability is that when students engage in work, it is important for people to communicate with other colleagues. Many work need team cooperation to solve some problems. For example, some multinational corporation will have some staffs who come from different countries, having a well social ability can improve teamwork in career. Secondly, many university students should expand their horizons when they engage in extracurricular activities. The university students should receive more knowledge not only during their formal class in university but also in the extracurricular online  activities. It means that student can achieve new ability out of class to solve more problems.
