If people have the opportunity to get a secure job, they should take it right away rather than wait for a job that would be more satisfying.
托福满分作文-范文赏析：
Whether a person should take a job offer immediately or wait for a better option largely depends on his or her position in the job market. While those who practice occupations that are needed urgently by the market can wait for their dream job, on balance, people who do not have similar advantages should not take the risk.
First, for job seekers who get high market value, they can afford to wait for better opportunities. People who are highly skilled or experienced in certain fields are exactly what the markets need nowadays. They get what it takes to generate wealth for their employers. Therefore, they should not get low balled in the hiring process, even in a tough economy. For those elites, they never have to compromise with the second best. If they and an employer have wildly different ideas about what their background is worth, they can keep waiting for the perfection, because they never have to worry about remaining unemployed for too long. If one cannot know it from concrete examples, one can deduce it from general principles. We rarely see the most valuable National Basketball Association player of the year having to make do with the offer he does not favor in the first place.
Next, for the job seekers who have relatively low market value, they had better take a secure job offer as soon as they have the chance. When I pursued my master degree, I had to juggle between two temporary jobs to cover my living expense. Majoring in communication and technology, I am a multimedia wizard with a certificate in video producing. There were always lots of hiring adverts calling for video photographers on Craigslist, so I could be particular about the shooting location and the payment before I decided to take any tasks. Meanwhile I also worked as a server on night shift in some sushi bar. However, as an inexperienced waitress, frankly speaking, I did not have lots of options. Servers live on tips, and an inexperienced waitress can be seen as a pain in the neck at a restaurant. At the time my wage was always the lowest, but I could not afford to stay in my apartment earning nothing at all. People should be flexible enough to adapt to the changes in the job market. Only when one becomes strong enough, he or she will have the leverage to negotiate with potential employers.
For new college graduates, despite the shining diploma they have printed on their curriculum vitae, they may not have the specific kind of experience and skills the market requires. However, those graduates should think thoroughly before they take a job offer. For them, we are not only talking about one, two, three years or longer of those graduates’ lives, but about the launch of their career. A sound decision will make that launch a successful one, while a poor one can lead to long time, if not lifelong, disappointment.
In sum, whether to take a less-than-perfect job offer or wait for a job that they might like better is not an easy question to answer, because the right decision depends entirely on one's situation. While people who have the leverage such as experience and unique skills can afford to take the risk, people who have relatively low market value should take what they can have as soon as possible.
托福作文满分要素剖析:
一、 语言表达
本文长短句结合，流畅自然，很有节奏感。特别的是作者使用了一些口语中常见的用法，例如a pain in the neck和less-than-perfect这样的复合形容词，让语言显得更加生活化，更亲切。
1. Whether a person should take a job offer immediately or wait for a better option largely depends on his or her position in the job market. 本句是文章的开头句。使用了whether…or…表示选择的句式结构。这样的句式可以在改写文章题目的时候使用，特别是双边选择性的文章中，可以用一句话进行概括。
2. When I pursued my master degree, I had to juggle between two temporary jobs to cover my living expense. 本句的词语用的非常精彩。Pursue本意为追求，pursue加学历或者学业表示学习，是非常地道的说法。而juggle一次本义为杂耍，在口语中是同时做很多事情的意思，这里表示同时做两份工作。Cover在这里表示能够负担。
3. In sum, whether to take a less-than-perfect job offer or wait for a job that they might like better is not an easy question to answer, because the right decision depends entirely on one's situation.本句是总结段的总起句，总结重申了观点。首先改写了题目，后半句是表示根据情况而定的经典用法。以后若是选取这样的观点，可以模仿使用。
二、 逻辑结构
本文总体采用了总分总的结构。首段首先改写题目，提出了自己观点，即有能力的人应该等待最好的工作，而没有能力的人不应该冒险。之后两段分别从这两个方面进行了证明。第三个分论点则是从大学毕业生找工作的注意事项入手进行分析，是对主题词的一种发散。所以本文中间部分实际上使用的是一种正反补的方法进行论证的。我们在进行分析的时候也可以借鉴这样的方式。最后一段对观点进行了总结重申。
网温馨提醒：考生们拿到托福作文试题，审题后，先决定总体思路，然后列出两三个具体的分论点，每个论点找出一些例子来说明。这里要注意例子的选择，尽可能生活化、生动化、形象化，不要太死板，
