Part I Writing

Upon graduation, every college student is facing such a difficult problem as what to do next.Students' opinions differ greatly on this issue.第一段前两句引出文章将要探讨的问题:关于大学毕业后选择什么样的人生道路,毕业生们的想法大不相同。 For some, they hold that there is no better way to get a decent job than working in a state-owned business, which would supposedly guarantee their life after retirement.For others, they believe a joint venture outweighs the former as it may provide a brighter future for employees.列举两种不同的就业选择:一种是在国企工作,一种是在合资企业工作。 For me, I would like to work in a joint venture.首段结尾表明了自己的选择:在合资企业工作,为下文进一步论述做铺垫。

My reasons are as follows.第二段首句承上启下,表明紧接着要介绍自己做出这种选择的原因。 First, to work in a joint venture means to stay in a metropolis after graduation, where there are plenty of opportunities and I can pursue my personal goals.Second, I prefer a speedy pace of working and the rapid personal development and growth, which can most probably be achieved in a joint venture.Third, I want to finance myself soon after graduation, so a high-paying job in a joint venture is what I expect.这部分是文章的主体,介绍了选择在合资企业工作的三个原因。

In short, to work in a joint venture is what I choose for my career.最后一段以in short收尾,重申主题。

毕业之际,每一位大学生都面临着一个难题,那就是接下来要做什么。在这个问题上,学生们的观点有着很大的差异。对于有些学生来说,他们认为在国企找份体面的工作是最好的,据称这会使他们退休后的生活得到保障。而其他学生则认为,合资企业会给就业者提供更加光明的前途,因此胜过前者。对我自己来说,我想进入合资企业工作。

我的原因如下。第一,在合资企业工作意味着毕业后留在大城市,那里有很多机会,我还能追求个人目标。第二,我更喜欢快节奏的工作,以及个人的快速发展和提升,而这些在合资企业才最有可能实现。第三,我想在毕业之后即能自力更生,因此一份合资企业的高薪工作正是我所期盼的。

总之,在合资企业工作就是我的职业选择。

句法点评

1.Upon graduation, every college student is facing such a difficult problem as what to do next.

本句主干结构为every college student is facing… problem。在such a difficult problem as…中,as引导的是一个定语从句,修饰先行词problem。

2.For some, they hold that there is no better way… than working… after retirement.

本句是一个复合句,主语是they, 谓语动词是hold, 宾语从句是there be句型。在这个宾语从句中含有一个比较结构:no better way… than…相当于最高级is the best way…;另外,句中which引导定语从句,修饰business。

3.First, to work in a joint venture means to stay in a metropolis…,where… personal goals.

本句中不定式短语to work in a joint venture是句子的主语,不定式短语to stay in a metropolis…是句子的宾语;在宾语中包含一个where引导的非限制性定语从句。

4.Third, I want to finance myself…,so a high-paying job in a joint venture is what I expect.

so连接两个表示因果关系的并列句,后一个分句中包含一个what引导的表语从句。
