Students today
Many people say, "work hard, play hard when you are a student". However, I think you should not say this to student instantly, because students today tend to think that "work hard" means only attending a class and getting a passing grade at exams with the least effort.
(This is a kind of translation homework. Let me say, I don't deny that some students are idle(and I used to be one of them), but diligent students must get angry at this kind of saying. Some elderly people say this kind of stuff, and I really hate that. Though I know that it is possible that I will be one of them in the future...)

However, I think you should not say this to student instantly, because ss anymore. Students today tend to think that "work hard" means only attending a class and getting a passing grade at exams with the least effort.
I also am not sure what you mean by "instantly". If you mean "at the current time (as opposed to previous times)", then "anymore" would be a natural way. Also, if you break the sentence you don't need the "because".

"Idle" sounds slightly strange. You might use "lazy" if you intend this to be the opposite of "diligent."

Good! You clearly "work hard" at English at least!

I misunderstood the meaning of "instantly". If I use "easily", does it make sense?

"Easily" is ok but still not great as I don't exactly know what you mean. Do you mean you mean you should be careful before saying it? In that case some possibilities could be "casually", "carelessly", or "flippantly". It might be easier to reverse the sentence around and use a positive construction and put more focus on the condition instead of using just an adverb: "I think that these days you should think carefully before saying this to students."
