Part I Writing

Upon graduation, every college student is facing such a difficult problem as what to do next.For some students, they hold the idea that they should give priority to taking a job.For others, they believe going to a graduate school will benefit them more.第一段前三句扣题,引出问题:大学毕业后选择就业还是读研?指出毕业生们各有各的想法。 For me, I would like to pursue postgraduate studies.第一段末句表明自己的选择:读研,为下文进一步论述做铺垫。

For one thing, I don't think what I have learned during my college years is enough.I cherish the opportunity to learn more before stepping into society.So I prefer to continue my studies as a postgraduate student.第二段解释了自己想要读研的两个原因,前三句是第一个原因:想在步入社会之前抓住机会学习更多知识。 For another, it is common that undergraduates have difficulty in finding a good job after their graduation nowadays.With a master degree I could have a better chance to land an ideal job, thus winning a brighter future.指出选择读研的第二个原因:为找到理想工作而争取更大的机会,从而赢得光明前景。

All in all, I believe that it would be better for me to attend graduate school after I graduate from my college instead of taking a job immediately.总结全文,重申观点:对我而言,毕业后读研比就业更好一些。

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。对于一些学生而言,他们认为应优先考虑找一份工作。而其他学生则认为,读研究生将会使他们受益更多。对我自己来说,我想要读研。

一方面,我认为在大学期间所学的知识还不够。我珍惜步入社会之前继续深造的机会。所以我更愿意做一名研究生继续我的学业。另一方面,当今社会大学生毕业后难以找到好工作是普遍的现象。有了研究生文凭,我可能会有更大的机会找到一份理想的工作,从而为自己赢得更加光明的前程。

总之,我认为毕业之后读研而不是立即找工作对我来说会更好一些。

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…a…problem。such a difficult problem as what to do next使用的是such…as…结构,意为“像……那样的,诸如……”。

2.For others, they believe going to a graduate school will benefit them more.

本句是一个复合句,主句是they believe, 后面是省略了that的宾语从句,该宾语从句going to a graduate school will benefit them more中的动名词短语going to a graduate school是主语。

3.I don't think what I have learned during my college years is enough.

本句很短,但却是一个复合句,其中包含一个由what引导的宾语从句。本句使用了否定前置结构,其真正否定的应该是宾语从句中的enough。在英语中,谓语动词是think, believe, suppose, expect, fancy, imagine等时,后面宾语从句的否定词要转移到主句中,即主句的谓语动词用否定式,而从句的谓语动词用肯定式,注意,主句的主语必须是第一人称。

4.…it is common that undergraduates have difficulty in finding a good job after their graduation nowadays.

本句使用的是it is common that…这一固定句式,本句式实际上属于主语从句的用法,其中it是形式主语,that引导的从句是真正的主语。
