One is to take a job in a company and the other to go to a graduate school.You are to make a choice between the two.Write an essay to explain the reasons for your choice.You should write at least 120 words but no more than 180 words.
参考答案：
Upon graduation, virtually all college students will confront the problem of
the career choice，which is truly a tough choice.Students'' opinions differ
greatly on this issue.Some hold that priority should be given to take a job, but
others take the attitude that going to a graduate school is the most critical
factor influencing their future career choices.
As to myself, I prefer the latter view.A higher educational background exerts
a tremendous fascination on a great number of people, with no exception to
me.This phenomenon that the graduates have difficulties in finding job after
their graduation can easily be found anywhere in our daily life, especially on
campus.On the one hand, with the improved high education of Chinese college
students which directly brought the result that there are more and more
graduates every year.On the contrary, job vacancies don’t increase that
fast.More people, less food, which is the exact deion of the hard condition.On
the other hand, more and more people go on to pursue their master and doctor
degree; more and more Chinese oversea students come back to China to hunt better
working chances.It is sure that the competition is more and more fierce.
Therefore, it is high time that we took effective measures to improve our own
competitiveness.That is the secret of success in the future employment market
after our graduation.
One is to work in a state-owned business and the other in a joint venture.You are to make a choice between the two.Write an essay to explain the reasons for your choice.You should write at least 120 words but no more than 180 words.
参考答案：Upon graduation, virtually all college students will confront the
problem of the career choice，which is truly a tough choice.Students'' opinions
differ greatly on this issue.Some hold that priority should be given to start a
business of your own, but others take the attitude that finding a job is the
best choice influencing their future.
As to myself, I prefer the latter view.An opportunity to start a business
exerts a tremendous fascination on a great number of people, with no exception
to me.In my view, With the competition in the job market becoming increasingly
fierce for college graduates， some ambitious students have tried their hands at
launching their own businesses.Over the years，there have been many successful
cases of student entrepreneurship and such attempts should be encouraged and
promoted by both the universities and the society at large.What’s more ,College
students who start businesses are pioneers，among whom will be born China’s
future business leaders.Faced with unknown challenges， they are audacious enough
to embark on a perilous journey while most of their peers enjoy stable salaries
by working as white-collars at high-end office buildings.
All in all, the essential difference between the students who find a job or
those students who create their own businesses is that the former are docile
followers whereas the latter are aggressive trailblazers.For this reason，
business-launching college graduates are more admirable， and thus they command
our deep respect.

which you used
during your speech. Iwould like to return it to you as soon as possible but
Iwas unsure
whether to send it to your company or adifferent address.
I contacted your office but，unfortunately, you were away on business and I
spoke to a
secretary. She said that the disc belonged to your own private consultancy
business and that I should send it there. She provided me with an address but I am afraid
that I may havewritten it down incorrectly. The address I have is as
follows:Collinsi一Consultancies, Box 283A, Bristol. Could you please confirm that this is the correct address to
which I shouldsend the disc?
Thank you once again for your generosity in giving up your valuable time
