Choosing a Job Profitable or a Job I Love

How can one find a desirable job? This question puzzles nearly everyone. In practice, most people look for well-paid jobs while a few search for jobs they love.

Most people consider the amount of pay as the only condition when looking for jobs. They do so partly because they are aware of how important and powerful money is nowadays.

My View on Star-making Programs

Outline: 1. 选秀节目风靡全国 2. 分析一下这种节目收欢迎的原因 3. 此类节目存在的问题

Recently the issue of star-making programs has aroused considerable concern. That is to say, star-making programs are in full swing in China nowadays. For example, “Super Girl” and “Dreaming China” enjoy widespread popularity.

In my opinion, the popularity of such programs is mainly due to three factors. To begin with, these programs have catered for different people’s tastes. Some people are fond of the pop music; some like competition programs, while some enjoy the programs with many entertaining elements. Star-making program is just such a combination of all these elements. In addition, such programs are highly interactive. People can support the candidates they like by phoning. Last but not least, such programs are warm to human. The love flowing between candidates and their supporters can always be sensed.

Advantages and Disadvantages of the Cell Phone

Outline: ⑴手机的好处 ⑵手机的弊端 ⑶我的看法

Nowadays, with the rapid development of IT and information industry, cell phone plays a dominant role in people’s life. But to which, different people hold conflicting attitudes.

It has favorable aspects. First, it’s useful. As a wireless mobile telephone, it’s easy and handy to carry wherever one goes. Therefore, it greatly facilitates people’s life. Second, it’s convenient. Whenever one meets trouble or something urgent, he can make a call immediately. Last, it’s a very helpful companion. With a multifunction cell phone in hand, a person can easily get on the Net, browsing the useful information, and doing whatever one can do via Internet. However, the cell phone also has disadvantages. It’s expensive to buy and costly to pay the bills, especially, that of global service. What’s worse, the micro-waves in it may harm people’s health.

In my opinion, with its expenses greatly reduced after China’s entry into the WTO, it will face an ever brighter future in its development. And I believe its advantages will not only offset its disadvantages, but also far outweigh them. (175 words)

Rush for Postgraduate Study

1．根据下图近年报考研究生情况的变化

2．说明这种变化的原因（可从社会需要、国家相关、就业形势等方面加以说明） 3．你对考研热有何看法

Year Number of applicants (thousand) 1996 200 2000 390 2001 460 2002 620 In recent years, there has been a nationwide rush for pursuing post-graduate study, from the above chart, we can easily find that the applicants for post-graduate study have been increasing year after year. In 1996, the number was about 200,000; while in 2002, the figure continued to grow to more than 620,000. Why has there been such a constant rush for post-graduate study? At first, it is due to employment pressure. Nowadays, competition is very fierce in every trade. A bachelor’s degree can no longer ensure a decent job. But if a person has a higher degree, such as a master’s degree or a doctor’s degree, he’ll have an advantage over others in the competitive market. In addition, I think, the reason lies in the fact that there is a large demand for professionals with high degree. Finally, the expansion of college enrolment turns out more college students, as a result, students who apply for post-graduate study increase accordingly. In my opinion, if we don’t want to lag behind the times, we should take study as a life long goal. I predict that more young people will be keen on pursuing post-graduate study. (192 words)
