独立写作部分
Would you prefer a higher pay job but longer work time or an average pay job and normal work time?
这是一个很传统的题目,不知道有多少学生在平时练习中已经写过类似的甚至一样的文章。工作时间和薪资的选择中,每个人的选择都不一样,但是我们还是秉承无论选择哪一方都要有充分的理由和论证。
如果选择an average pay job and normal work time,那么最直观的结果是有更多的free时间,继而我们又可以选择去:陪伴家人、培养自己的兴趣爱好、放松从而refresh ourselves等。我们按照这样的思维去brainstorm,相信大家不难找出自己的观点。当然,有些学生说要不要分析 higher pay job but longer work time,当然,这可是体现我们思维全面性的时候。我们可以选择去分析这种工作的弊端或者去让步这种工作的优点,当然让步的最终还是回归我们本来的选择。
如果选择higher pay job but longer work time,我们最直接的结果是获得更多的薪资,从而可以:满足基本的生活需求、养家糊口、为以后的发展提供物质保障等。而工作更多的时间,可以充分体现我们对自己进步的要求,提升自己的职业能力。同理,我们也可以去分析不选择an average pay job and normal work time的原因。
所以,无论选择哪一方,最重要的的是我们能够全面分析话题,充分论证。最后提示我们的考生们:一定不忘提升自己的语言能力,即高级词汇和句式的积累。祝大家考出理想的成绩!
