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 (萎縮的) job market.
All this indicates that a bachelor's degree (學士學位) 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.
範文分析 除了使用有特點的動詞、形容詞及搭配，本文在並句方面效果突出。第一段首句用分詞短語作原因狀語，隨後兩句分別依靠限定性定語從句、非限定性定語從句將兩個單句合二為一。第二、二段並句手段多樣化，作者除了註重辭彙手段，英語特有結構(如過去分詞短語等)、句型(如同位語從句、條件狀語從句等)的交替運用使得句子主次分明。把幾個單句有機地結合在一起，句子數日減少，而信息含量不變。此舉可有效避免不必要的重復用詞或松散結構。
