My View on Part-time Jobs
It is quite common that many college students now take part-time jobs in their spare time. However, there is still a controversy about whether it is good or not. Some people think that taking a part-time job certainly brings some benefits to students.
In the first place, it is good and effective for college students to get to know the society and learn how to get along with different kinds of people. What's more, taking a part-time job provides students with a golden opportunity to get some work experience, which will make them more competitive in the job market in the future. Finally, students can make some money, which can help to lessen their families' financial burdens.
Of course, there are also some problems arising from students' taking part-time jobs. First, some students may spend too much time on their part-time jobs, then neglect their studies. Second, some students may be cheated by others since they are not mature enough to make correct judgments.
As for me, I hold the view that college students need to have more access to the outside world. However, they should balance their social practices and academic studies. After all, they should know what their main task is.
范文点评
本文题目为“我对兼职工作的看法”,从三个提纲来看,有些人认为大学生兼职工作可以了解社会、积累经验等,有些人认为兼职工作影响学习,据此判断此题为正反观点论证题,要求考生在论证两方观点后要提出自己的看法。文章开头(introduction)首先描述了大学生业余时间兼职工作的现象,但大学生是否应该兼职成为争议。中间(body)部分是两种观点的对比论证:一段是写兼职工作的益处,并阐明原因;一段是写其弊端及其原因。考生注意在写观点对比题时一定要把握行文结构。主题句(topic sentence)一般放在句首,总述要
表达的观点,接下来论据要分清层次,同时过渡词语的使用也很重要,如firstly、secondly、moreover、however、to sum up 等。最后一段(conclusion)要表达作者自己的看法,考生不要一味纠缠到底哪个观点正确,或者自己的观点是否科学合理。考试主要考察学生能否用流畅的英文来表达自己的观点,言之有物且尽量避免语法错误。
Part II Reading Comprehension (Skimming and Scanning)
文章大意:
Louis Kahn 是20世纪美国最重要的建筑设计师之一。他1901年出生在爱沙尼亚,5岁时搬家到美国的费城。Louis Kahn的建筑设计风格受许多方面的影响:他喜欢旅游,曾经去过多个国家和地区,这些旅行经历在很大程度上影响了他的艺术风格,使他能够把传统与现代结合起来;同时Louis Kahn的成长地费城的建筑风格也影响了他的设计特点。他的设计作品遍及各地,建筑成就非凡。Louis Kahn设计的作品总体特点是坚固和厚重,这与前人的作品有着很大的不同。尽管Louis Kahn是一名伟大的建筑师,但是他并不善于经商,以至于在去世前负债累累。Louis Kahn去世后,他的儿子Nathaniel Kahn根据其父亲的经历拍摄了一部电影,名叫My Architect。电影不仅展现了Louis Kahn的建筑艺术成就,同时也讲述了他的个
人生活经历。他所教授的学生有些已成为了当今重要的设计师,他的建筑至今依然保持鲜活的形象和不朽的风采。
