Graduates Face Many Barriers in Job Hunting
It is graduation time again. Whether joining the social workforce or pursuing
advanced studies, about four million Chinese graduates will soon turn a new page in
their lives. Still, no matter what, campus life will remain deeply etched on the minds
of China's former students. What lies ahead for the country's graduates?
Statistics released by relevant departments of China show that in 2006, graduates
from all Chinese colleges and universities numbered 4.13 million, up 750,000 from
2005 with a growth rate of roughly 22%. Hence, the employment tension further
intensifies. Meanwhile, various intangible barriers exist in social relations, regional
restriction, permanent residency and university's reputation have made the graduates'
job-hunting process tougher.
Some analyze that against the backdrop of intensified employment tension for
university graduates, needy students from rural and urban areas usually find
themselves in relatively inferior positions.
Some graduates realize that in order to get a job, they have to sign some "unfair
treaties" that promise not to take the postgraduate exam or leave the company within
several years, or they have to pay 5,000 Yuan for breaching the contract. Some
recruiters even declare openly that they only need students from famous universities,
so graduates from other schools are not even entitled to apply.
Currently the contradiction in China's higher education has transferred from entering
to leaving a university and from the difficulty in enrollment to employment after
graduation. It has become a common phenomenon that "graduates become jobless".
Should this problem not be tackled rightly, the employment issue would turn into a
new factor that causes social instability.
College—A New Experience
Living at college, first of all, gives me a sense of responsibility, of being on my
own. My parents aren’t around to say, ―No, you’re not going out tonight‖ or ―Did you
finish your homework?‖ Everything I do has to be my decision, and that gives me the
responsibility of handling my own life. During the second week I was at college, I had
to go out and look for a bank where I could open an account. Before that I looked in
the phone book since I had no clue about any banks around here or where they were
located. I went to the bank and made decisions for myself—whether to have a
checking or savings account and whether or not to get a MASTER card.
Friendly people: that’s another aspect I like about college. On my first day (and
even now) people were nice to me. I came to Marymount University here in Virginia
from New York and – even though I’d been here before—I was a bit confused about
where I was going. My mother and I drove in, not knowing the building we were
supposed to go to, and the guard was especially nice: with a smile, he told us what
building we were looking for and where we could park our car. Some upperclassmen
saw me and asked, ―Are you a new student?‖ When they found out I was looking for
my dormitory, one said, ―Oh, just follow us; that’s where we’re going.‖ Even now I

2
feel comfortable in the dorm because there are friendly people around to talk with.
Finally—to add to my likes of college—I love having Saturdays off. Also, I love
to sleep in, something I couldn’t do in high school.
How Can We Finance Our College Education?
Nowadays, tuition fees for college are much higher than ever before. How to
finance our college education has become a matter of concern for many students,
especially those who are from the remote areas.
Actually, there are many ways to solve this problem. We can get the money from
our parents. We can apply for a loan especially set up for college students. We can
also acquire the money entirely by ourselves, keeping a part-time job in our spare
time and doing a full-time job in summer and winter holidays. Or we can ask our
parents for most of the money and earn the rest in our spare time in college.
As far as I am concerned, I prefer the last way. I don't want to depend entirely on
my parents, which will be a burden to them. Nor do I want to work in my free time for
the tuition alone, because I would like to have enough time for my school work. If my
parents pay most of the tuition for me, I will work part time for the rest and this, I
believe, can make my college life rich and colorful.
Introduction of My College
I'm a student at Maebashi Institute of Technology in Gunma. It is located
between Komagata and Shinmaebashi on the JR Ryomo Line. It's only 10 minutes
from JR Maebashi station on a bus or a taxi.
Maebit was originally founded in 1952 as a junior college and it evolved into a
four-year college in 1997. Today there are some 700 students in both the junior
college and the four-year undergraduate school.
Our school offers two sets of programs, the day course and the evening course.
Students can choose whichever suits their conveniences best from those two courses.
Many lessons here are taught in small-sized classes.
I'm in the Department of Information Engineering. My field of study is Robotics.
The first period begins at 9:30 a.m., which is rather late, and the last period of the day
course ends at 4:55 p.m. The classes for the evening course begin at 5:45 p.m. and end
at 8:50 p.m.
Maebit's campus is not very large but it has a lot of flowerbeds and plants. On
campus there are the library, the club building, sports fields, the student union hall,
the laboratory building, and many other facilities. Our department building lies in the
northwest corner of campus. This building was built about five years ago, and

3
everything is still new in this building.
There are many clubs, but I'm not a member of any club. One of my friends is a
member of the Tennis Club in which there are 5 members. They practice every
Wednesday and Saturday afternoon. They are hoping to make it into the best 8 in the
coming intercollegiate tournament.
I like my college. I have already made some good friends and we're enjoying our
school life.
Coping with Stress in College
College life can be very stressful. Sometimes parents, faculty and others tend to
idealize their college experience and remember it as that idyllic time when they had
few worries or responsibilities. To students currently attending college, however, the
process is often stressful and frustrating. The competition for grades, the need to
perform, relationships, career choice, and many other aspects of the college
environment cause stress.
But before condemning stress outright, we need to understand that stress is only
harmful when it is excessive. Much of the stress that we all experience is helpful and
stimulating. The challenges of life tend to be stressful and an attempt to avoid stress
completely would lead to a rather boring existence. The problem comes when you
experience too much stress.
There are four primary sources of stress: the environment, (noise, pollution,
traffic, crowding, and the weather), physiology, (illness, injuries, hormonal
fluctuations, and inadequate sleep or nutrition), students’ thoughts (negative self-talk,
catastrophizing, and perfectionism), and social stressors (financial problems, work
demands, social events, and losing a loved one). Symptoms of stress appear in many
forms. Some symptoms only impact the person who is directly experiencing stress,
while other symptoms may have an impact on our relationships with others.
Although some stress reactions are part of deeper and more serious emotional
problems, many are not, and can be handled with relatively simple counseling and
stress-management techniques. Developing a balanced lifestyle, gaining perspective
by discussing problems with other students or tutors, specifying relaxation techniques,
and clarifying your values and cultivating a sense of life meaning can help you relieve
your stress in college.
Sports
From the earliest times, people have held sports competitions. The athletic few
compete on the field while the rest of us participate from the safety of our seats.

4
Today sports are certainly as popular as ever, and because of radio and television, we
can now compete from a distance.
In fact, for important competitions, the whole world becomes one big stadium.
It is hard to say why humans like organized games. The reasons that we enjoy
sports probably differ from person to person. Whether little kids are kicking a ball
around a city playground, or million-dollar-a-year athletes are playing in a modern
stadium, the excitement of competition, motion, discipline, and beauty are in the air.
Who doesn’t stop to watch a ball game in the street or a swimmer in a pool? What
parents are not proud to see their children carried off the field by thankful fans? For
the players, the joys of sportsmanship can include punishing self-discipline and the
friendship of teammates.
Then there is special thrill that comes only to a lucky few. It is the thrill that
comes from hearing thousand voices shout your name. But personal victory is only
one kind of victory. In every game someone must lose, but mankind wins every time
an athletic record is broken. It is this aspect of sports that brings people together.
Even in defeat, no one says to an athlete, ―So what?‖ You say, ―Good try!‖ And
when your pride gets hurt and your muscles are sore, you say to yourself, ―That’s part
of the game. I’ll win next time!‖
How to Deal with School Pressure
College can be a very demanding time for students. Professors, class projects, and
extracurricular activities can all contribute to a stressed-out college student. While
you will undoubtedly experience stress as a college student, following these tips may
help keep college stress at a minimum before it becomes too hard to handle.
Prioritize your schoolwork. Identify what is most important. If you have a
presentation to give this Monday, don’t write a one-page review that’s due in a couple
of weeks; prepare for the presentation first. Likewise, if you have an assignment that
requires a lot of work, put it at the top of your list. When you prioritize your work,
you will be more efficient. By becoming more organized, you can reduce your stress
level drastically.
Talk about your problems. Talking about your problems will help ease your tension
and anxiety. Seek a trusted friend or see if your school has a counseling
center. Talking to others will not only help you feel better, but it will also help you
find more ways to deal with those problems that are causing your stress.
Adopt a positive attitude. If you are always negative, stress will overwhelm you. By
looking at things in a positive light, you will not only reduce your stress, but you will
also feel better about yourself. Give yourself pep talks: ―I can do this. I will not stress
over this.‖

5
Take time to relax. To maintain peak performance and reduce your amount of stress,
you should take time to relax. Performing some sort of physical activity for thirty
minutes three times a week will considerably lower your stress level. Throw a Frisbee
with your friends, watch your favorite TV show or enjoy your alone time. Taking the
time to relax will help reduce your stress level.
The Need of Iron
How do we get more young people to increase their consumption of iron-rich
foods? Many nutritionists are advocating the fortification of a number of foods. This
may help, but I contend that we should also intensify our efforts in nutrition education
among our young people. I simply do not buy the argument that it is futile to try to
change  eating  habits.  Once  an  intelligent  person—and  this  includes
adolescents—understands the need for a healthy diet, I think he or she will act
accordingly. As for specific actions: I suggest that blood hemoglobin(血红蛋
白)should be checked as a routine part of a youngster’s yearly physical examination.
It should contain at least 11grames per 100 milliliters of blood for a girl and at least
12 grams for a boy. If it is any lower, the physician probably will prescribe an easily
absorbed iron supplement.
Adolescents—and everyone else—should cut out highly processed foods and
drinks, which may be low in iron and other nutrients. Read the labels for iron content.
Especially make sure that all bakery products are made with enriched flour or whole
grains. Try adding liver, chicken, beef, veal or any other variety to the weekly menu.
Finally, even when you’re trying to lose weight, always eat a sensible,
well-balanced diet made up of a variety of fresh or very lightly processed foods. This
way, you stand a good chance of getting not only enough iron, but also adequate
amounts of all the other essential nutrients.

Title: Students Taking Part-time Jobs
Outline: 1. 有人认为大学生打工好
2．有人认为大学生打工不好
3．我的看法
Some people think that college students should do part-time jobs. They think
college students will be members of the society soon, so they need to get a real sense
of how the society runs. In this regard part-time jobs may help, because they not only
give college students different chances to know more about different people, but also
prepare them better with various experiences for their future.
Other people, however, maintain that part-time jobs do more harm than good to
college students. They believe, to a college student, study should always be the only
job, which entails a great deal of time and effort, and that taking a part-time job is
simply nothing but a distraction. Furthermore, college students are still too young to
handle the complicated society, which may discourage them from doing school work
and even lead them astray.
In my opinion, college students must learn how to cope with life outside campus

6
by taking some part-time jobs, because they will be members of the society sooner or
later. And what they learn through practice in the society can, on the other hand, help
them to know more about themselves and their school work. Therefore they may
decide how they will learn on campus more efficiently. There is yet another reason
why I applaud college students for having some part-time jobs. I come from a peasant
area in west China. Part-time jobs mean a lot to those students like me: They can
improve their campus life with the money they get out of the jobs, so that their parents
won’t have to worry too much about them. I believe if college students spend their
time wisely, they will be able to manage well both school work and part-time jobs.
Some Tips for Effective Verbal Communication
Verbal communication plays a significant role in our daily life, especially in
modern society. Since we get along with other people in every field, we must learn
how to communicate effectively. Here are some of the techniques that may contribute
to effective verbal communication.
First, think about what we are going to tell someone, then speak briefly and
clearly in order to make ourselves understood. Second, express ourselves warmly and
sincerely. This can help create a friendly atmosphere for a talk. Third, if we are
supposed to be listeners, we should concentrate on what the speaker says and give
positive feedback by nodding or smiling from time to time. And fourth, we can
politely ask the speaker to repeat what we do not hear or quite understand and this, as
you know, can help the communication go on smoothly.
When I communicate with others, whether as a speaker or a listener, I always
bear in mind the above-mentioned skills. They are very much conducive to effective
conversations.
TITLE ：
Which one do you like, active class or passive class? Write out your view on
them.
EXAMPLE:
Active Classes of Passive Classes
Although classes often seem alike in appearance, the differences between passive
classes and active classes are enormous.
The passive kind of class usually has a teacher who lectures, puts outlines and
terms on the chalkboard and imparts information to the students. For example, my
second-year biology teacher, rarely looked up from his notebook in which he had
carefully written all his lectures. Teachers in a passive classroom simply dictate
information and answers. They pour facts into the students like water into a pot. The
students are usually force to sit, listen, take notes, and do only what the teacher
requires them to.

7
The other kind of class, the active one, usually has a teacher who stimulates the
students to learn for themselves by asking questions, by deliberately posing problems,
and most of all by being a student himself, too. Such a teacher might plan the outline
of a course, but doesn’t direct the class in only one direction. Students in active
classes become more involved in their learning; they ask questions and read books to
search for some answers themselves, and then discuss what they have found in class.
I prefer active classes because learning becomes fun there. Although students
may not car much about facts in classes, their attitudes toward learning and their
excitement in discovering answers for themselves do no end with the class.
TITLE:
Now many students use electronic dictionaries. Give us your view on
electronic dictionary.
EXAMPLE:
On Electronic Dictionary
Electronic dictionaries are becoming more and more popular among college
students because of its small size and multitude of functions. But just as every coin
has two sides, electronic dictionaries are no exception. Some students like electronic
dictionaries, because they believe this kind of new dictionary has many advantage.
First, compared with a traditional dictionary, it’s obviously very handy and convenient.
Furthermore, due to its many functions, it’s also very helpful. It can serve both as an
English-Chinese one. Most important of all, many of them can even teach the learner
how to pronounce a word.
But other students think that they still have much to be desired. They point out that
the definitions are very limited. And there are not enough explanations, or examples
to illustrate the correct use of a word. In addition, the constant use of this study aid
can make people too much dependent on the dictionary and form a passive, lazy
attitude towards learning.
In my opinion, the electronic dictionary in itself is neither good nor bad, and its
value lies in the way we put it to use. Every student should have a good English
dictionary at hand and the electronic one can serve most of our purposes. And one
thing we should always keep in mind is that basic language skills do not come from
any dictionary but from practice. So, an electronic dictionary, just like any traditional
ones, is only an effective tool instrumental in helping us to get a good mastery of
English.
On Students Choosing Lecturers
1、有些大学允许学生自由选择某些课程的任课老师。
2、学生选择老师时所考虑的主要因素是。。。
3、学生自选任课老师的益处及可能产生的问题。

范文：
Nowadays, some universities give students the right to choose who
teaches some of their classes. This has led to some debate over whether
students should be give this much power.
There are several factors that students consider when choosing a lectur
er, including the teaching style of the lecturer, the lecturer's academic bac
kground, and the lecturer's reputation among students. The ideal lecture
r is one who has an interesting teaching style, a diverse academic backgro
und, and a good reputation among students.
There are both positive and negative aspects to allowing students to cho
ose their lecturers. Giving students the choice encourages them to take o
wnership for their classes, and also puts pressure on teachers to improve
their teaching quality.
However, the factors that students consider might not be the ones that l
ead to the highest quality of education. Schools might end up with lecturer
s who teach interesting classes without much content.
What Causes a Boom in Celebrating Foreign Festivals
1.  近几年大学校园出现了一股过洋节热。
2.  阐明导致该现象的原因。
3.  分析该现象的社会影响。
Believe it or not, these years have witnessed a boom in celebrating foreign
festivals on the Chinese campus. According to an official report/survey, young
people, especially college students, are showing more and more interest in such
festivals as Valentine’s Day, April Fools’ Day, Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day.
To get a better sense of the boom, it is necessary for us to find out its causes.
A closer analysis of the phenomenon can find that three main factors are well
worth our concern. In the first place, it is the product of students’ seeking after
individuality and novelty, for which the college campus offers an ideal climate. In the
second, it is seen, among the students, as an ideal way of freeing themselves from

9
stress for the time being, since most college students, single child of each family, are
subjected to the unprecedented pressures from all sides although they enjoy the
abundance of material wealth. And above all, it is an inevitable result of more and
more exchanges between Western and Eastern cultures. While the Chinese watch their
children thirst for the joy derived from foreign festivals, in fact, the Americans are
discussing whether or not to list the Chinese Spring Festival among their official
holidays.
The effects of this change on our college life are positive. 10) On the one hand, it
has created more chances for students to gain a better insight into other cultures. On
the other, it has enriched the college life, thus making the campus a more pleasant
place to live on. With more and more health and color added to the trend, I firmly
believe, it will certainly bring more benefits to our campus life in the time to come.

Directions: You are a teacher. You are going to write a report to the parents of
your pupil Wang Gang about his performance in school. In the report, you
should mention:
1. His performance in study,
2. Your acknowledge of his parents’ cooperation,
3. Areas in need of improvement.
Sample Writing
Dear parents,
Your child Wang Gang’s grades have been very high this year. I have been
extremely pleased with his work. Although he didn’t do very well in the first year, he
seems to find the second year easier. He is highly motivated. I think his excellent
performance is probably due in part to the support he received from you, who I think
take a lot of interest in his schoolwork and always help him with his homework.
However, Wang Gang doesn’t care much for sport and rarely takes part in
after-school activities. He is very shy and finds it difficult to make friends at school. I
wish Wang Gang would put as much effort into his social life as he does into his
studies.
Yours sincerely,
Lily
Campus Life
Early in senior high school, we longed to be enrolled in a university. Now the dream
has come true. But how do we college students like our campus life?
Certainly, some relish it, finding it colorful and rewarding. Besides study, they spend
considerable amount of time improving themselves in various aspect. Yet others do
not think much of their college life, thus do not benefit as much. In their eyes, the

10
university is just a bigger high school. The only difference is that they have more time
at their disposal without parents looking over their shoulder.
As to me, college life is ideal if only I have abundant books to read, some bosom
friends to keep me company, a couple of conscientious professors to instruct me, and
an easy access to the Internet.
On Students Choosing Lecturers
Nowadays some universities, including ours, give students the right to choose
who teaches some of their classes .Both teachers and we students discuss heatedly
over whether students should be given this much power. But one undeniable fact is
that a large amount of students prefer to choose their own teachers for certain courses.
There are several factors that students consider when choosing a lecturer,
including the teaching style, the lecturer’s academic background, and the lecturer’s
reputation among students. Usually the teacher with a lively and humorous teaching
style is favorable, because to a large extent, whether a lecture is welcomed by the
students or not is depended on the way of delivering rather than its content. No one
can deny that interesting interaction is far more enjoyable than monologue. And
surely learned teachers are popular, too, after all, studying is our top priority. A
teacher with plentiful knowledge can provide students with many opportunities to
enlarge their scope of knowledge.
In my opinion, allowing students to choose teachers does have some advantages.
On the one hand, it satisfies the students’ needs , thus can arouse their interest in study
to the largest extent. On the other hand, it puts pressure on responsible teachers to
improve their teaching quality. All these greatly benefit students.
