Leaving or Staying A Choice upon Graduation
Having stayed on campus for so many yearsm some students become bored and can＇t wait to pick up a job. They are eager to lead a life that is less stressful intellectually and less pressing economically. In their eyes jobs can provide them with constant opportunities for solving problemsmwhich demands a combination of schoolbook knowledge and practical abilitieB
However, some students plan to continue their education in pursuing a master＇s degree. In terms of career academic preparation, knowledge and skills acquired at undergraduate level are far from adequate. A sound fact is that an increasing number of graduates are returning, motivated by the need to update their knowledge and enhance (提高) their skills. The news that graduates with higher degrees are better off spreads from shrinking (萎缩的) job market.
All this indicates that a bachelor＇s degree (学士学位) can hardly qualify students for a competitive position. If I am faced with the choice, I prefer to stay and pursue a M. A. degree. I know my choice will mean a commitment of time and money. But opportunities always take the form of hardships and risks. The days might be rigorous and painstaking, but they would certainly be fulfilling and rewarding, and would surely lead to a prosperous future.
范文分析 除了使用有特点的动词、形容词及搭配，本文在并句方面效果突出。第一段首句用分词短语作原因状语，随后两句分别依靠限定性定语从句、非限定性定语从句将两个单句合二为一。第二、二段并句手段多样化，作者除了注重词汇手段，英语特有结构(如过去分词短语等)、句型(如同位语从句、条件状语从句等)的交替运用使得句子主次分明。把几个单句有机地结合在一起，句子数日减少，而信息含量不变。此举可有效避免不必要的重复用词或松散结构。
