      ตัวอย่างบทความ
           Alcoholic beverages should be banned from college campuses for two reasons. The first reason is that drinking can cause academic failure. If students drink before class or have a hangover from drinking too muck the night before, they will be unable to concentrate on their school work. They may miss classes, fail exams, and miss term paper deadlines. This behavior could force them to drop out of school. For example, last semester, my friend Dan, who liked to party every night, dropped out of school. He failed organic chemistry twice and barely passed his other classes. As a result, his parents refused to pay for his education any longer. Recently, Cypress College did a study of student dropouts. Out of ninety cases reported, 65 percent dropped out because they had failing grades due to excessive drinking. Therefore, it is true that drinking can interfere with college success.
