这篇文章写的是招聘中的不合理现象,可分为四段来写。第一段描述图画,第二段进行阐释,第三段写解决问题的办法,第四段是结语。The picture reveals an unhappy experience of a female university graduate on a recruitment affair. The first company requires practical experience, the second one doctoral degree, and the third one male. It is a heartbreaking experience as she cant meet any requirement.
As more and more applicants flood into todays job market, many companies have heightened their standards. Such standards, in some cases, are not only unreasonable but also discriminative. First, experience comes from onthespot practice-if no corporation employs new university graduates, how can they accumulate experience? Second, many companies welcome doctors and masters, but reject bachelors directly. This regulation is built on the belief that postgraduate education is fruitful and successful and it helps improve peoples overall ability. In fact, we come across many examples in which people pursue postgraduate studies not for the love of a particular field but for the sake of finding an ideal job. Moreover, a person without such education may be more responsible and conscientious. Last but not least, some companies only admit male applicants, which is unfair for female ones-in the modern era, such discrimination is totally unacceptable.
If we want to improve the present situation, the government should help companies change their point of view. By more scientific and more practical recruitment methods, they may give more people a chance to attend a persontoperson interview. On the other hand, job applicants should make ample preparations so as to accumulate experience. If they begin to take their future job into consideration when they enter the university, then it will be much easier when they are about to graduate.
The job market should be a fair place that provides different people equal chances. When we eliminate discrimination and prejudice, every member of us will lead a better life. 第一段是对图画的描写。
第二段先写随着越来越多的求职者涌入就业市场,许多公司都提高了标准。这些标准在某些情况下不仅不合理而且带有歧视,之后分为三点展开论述。第一点讲,经验来自现场实践--如果没有公司招收刚毕业的大学生,那么他们又怎样积累经验呢?第二点讲许多公司基于研究生教育是成功的、能提升人的总体能力这一想法,欢迎博士与硕士,而不招收学士。实际上,有些人上研究生不是因为热爱某个学科,而是为了找到理想的工作。没有上过研究生的人可能会更有责任感。第三点说一些公司只召男员工,这对女性不公平--在当今时代,这种歧视是完全不能被接受的。
第三段分两方面来说,先说政府应帮助公司改变观点,使它们让更多的人有参加面试的机会。第二个方面是说求职者应做好充分准备以积累经验。如果入大学时就开始考虑未来的就业,那当他们快毕业时就会感觉简单得多。
最后一段第一句说就业市场应该是给不同的人相同机会的一个公平的地方。第二句说当我们消灭歧视和偏见时,每个人就都会过上更好的生活。该文谈的是就业这一热点问题。文章结构的确立并不难--第二段写就业中种种要求的不合理,第三段写如何解决问题--这是一种合理的安排。在各段的分点写作中,应注意各点间的相互关系。将不同要点进行有机的串联,才是不错的选择。

该文可分三段来写。第一段描述图画,第二段从正反两个方面对画中叙述的道理进行阐释,第三段作结。A mountaineer is climbing along the main road when he comes to a crossroads. He is wondering whether to choose the small track to go to the summit. Besides the picture there is a sentence: the shortcut is often the worst choice. This picture sets me thinking for a long time. It is the instant reaction for a person to seek a shortcut when facing problems or difficulties. Then how could it be the worst choice?
Rough is the road that leads to greatness. In real life, if a person wants to make great achievements, it is unquestionable that he has to sustain years and years of hard struggle. A scientist has to make thousands of experiments so as to make inventions and breakthroughs, and a painter, a singer and a sportsman has to practice again and again to achieve perfection. As for a student, if he wants to attain his goal in life, he has to choose his own road at a very young age and hold on to it until he finally succeeds. On the contrary, many people get used to choosing the shortcut: some of them try hard to attain goals through "special relationships", some of them take advantages of the loopholes in rules and regulations to make personal profits and others attribute success to sheer luck. In many cases, when people depend too much on the external factors, they lose the impetus to constantly improve themselves, and success remains a dream.
How long will it take for a person to turn his dream into reality? How much does he have to pay before he finally realizes that in most cases shortcuts are dead ends? It is a pity that many people will never realize that such roads lead to nowhere before it is too late. 第一段首先对图画进行了描述,之后说遇到问题或困难时想找捷径是自然反应,那么它又怎么会是最坏的选择呢?这样就以问题作为过渡句,对下文的解释做了铺垫。
第二段是全文最重要的部分,分为两方面来说。前四句讲第一方面。第一句说通向伟大的道路都是崎岖的。第二句说如果一个人想要做出成就,就需要多年的艰苦奋斗。第三句与第四句是举例。后两句是第二部分。第五句说许多人惯于选择捷径,并在冒号后进行了举例。最后一句说在许多情况下,当人们过多地依赖于外部因素时,他们将失去不断提升自己的动力,而成功就只能是一个梦想。
最后一段是总结。前两句是连续的问句,力度很强。第一句问一个人要多长时间才能将梦想变为现实?这呼应了整个第二段。第二句问他付出多少才能明白在多数情况下捷径都是死胡同?这是呼应第二段的第二部分。第三句说遗憾的是许多人将永远无法明白这些路无法通达,直到太迟。这句话表面是对上一句话的回答,实际上是将问题的解释与现实情况的描述相结合,为全文划上了句号。该句中以动词词组lead to nowhere表达与名词词组dead ends相近的意思,值得品味。另外大家注意学习before的用法,相当典型。清晰、合理的模式的运用会令读者认为作者对英语写作有着正确的基本认识,这包括段落的总体安排、段间的呼应与段内的组织。而在大的框架确立之后,如果不是考试等"有控制的写作",大的模式都不会相对固定,写作就变得更为灵活多变。近几年大家渐渐感觉在业界内英语写作的地位日渐彰显,做business leader尤其如此,看来此趋势必将更盛。有想到美国、加拿大等国留学的同学们一定注意,清晰的逻辑与缜密的推理虽然重要,动人的情感表达更能让你鹤立鸡群。反过来说,如果狂读、多思、讨论的密集式学习能由个人或集体实现,用来替代国内目前的松散式英语学习,美加还有必要去吗? |
