范文賞析

Choices After Graduation

A recent survey shows that only half of the graduate students will choose to find a job while 47% of them (an increasing percentage) , will pursue further study . This change has brought the issue? into focus and made it more prominent. From my perspective, the following factors can account for the choices of graduates.

引言部分 ：作者先對題干內容做了一個概述，并用from my perspective引出自己的觀點。

First and foremost, with the enrollment extension of universities, college graduates are facing the severe employment situation, which forces them to ?nd another way out. And staying in universities, at home or abroad, could help them out for the time being. Besides, in today’s information age, knowledge is updated very rapidly. Many college students find that their knowledge is not enough for their future career. Therefore, further study becomes their ?rst choice. Last but not least, some college students would not like to enter the complicated society and want to escape from the reality temporarily by going to further study.

主體部分 ：作者列舉了三個原因——就業(yè)形勢嚴峻、知識更新快和逃避現(xiàn)實—— 來說明為什么越來越多的畢業(yè)生選擇考研或者出國留學，并分別使用了first and foremost，besides和last but not least來銜接。

From my point of view, one’s choice after graduation should be based on his individual condition. Though taking the postgraduate entrance exam or going abroad for further study is a good choice, it is not necessarily true of everyone, because it might involve many factors, such as the future career direction and economic condition. Therefore, we should take a full account before we make our decisions.

總結部分 ：在說明原因的基礎 ，作者用from my point of view 再次引入自己的觀點，說明畢業(yè)生應根據(jù)自身情況來做出選擇。
