2018年12月大學英語四級作文試題評析（一）

賈從永

Directions： For this part， you are allowed 30 minutes to write a short essay on the challenges of starting a career after graduation. You should write at least 120 words but no more than 180 words.

我們要寫好這篇四級作文，首先要正確理解題目的意思。題目中的start a career的意思是大學生在畢業(yè)后開始自己的職業(yè)生涯，不論是自己創(chuàng)業(yè)，還是找到一份工作。所以，本文的題目the challenges of starting a career after graduation指的是大學畢業(yè)生在從校園走向職場的過程中所面臨的各種挑戰(zhàn)，包括求職的挑戰(zhàn)、創(chuàng)業(yè)的挑戰(zhàn)以及初入職場適應新環(huán)境的挑戰(zhàn)等。

本文可以寫成三個段落。引言段先指出每年夏天都有新的一批大學生走出校園開始自己的職業(yè)生涯，然后指出大學畢業(yè)生走向職場并非沒有困難，最后提出有一些挑戰(zhàn)需要大學畢業(yè)生對之有所準備。主體段詳細闡述大學畢業(yè)生開始職業(yè)生涯的各種挑戰(zhàn)。由于大學畢業(yè)生開始職業(yè)生涯的方式不同，所以我們不妨分兩種情況闡述：對那些畢業(yè)后找工作的大學生來說，最大的挑戰(zhàn)是缺乏工作經(jīng)驗。不過這個挑戰(zhàn)不難解決，大學生可以在高年級通過兼職或者實習來獲得工作經(jīng)驗。而對那些準備自己創(chuàng)業(yè)的大學畢業(yè)生來說，最大的挑戰(zhàn)是缺乏管理經(jīng)驗，因為他們畢竟涉世未深。接著提出應對之策：沒有人生來就是一個企業(yè)家，真正的管理經(jīng)驗可以在管理公司的過程中學會。本文可以用預測法結(jié)尾，指出大學畢業(yè)生開始職業(yè)生涯不會一帆風順，但只要有遠見和毅力，最終會戰(zhàn)勝挑戰(zhàn)并順利地從大學過渡到現(xiàn)實生活。下面請看范文：

Every summer sees a new batch of graduates step out of college and start their professional career. But joining the professional world is not without difficulties. Here are the top challenges to be prepared for.

Lack of working experience is the biggest challenge for those who wish to find a salaried job， as employers naturally prefer candidates with hands-on experience. This obstacle is relatively easy to overcome. For instance， they can acquire experience through working part-time or doing internships during their senior years. For those who wish to launch their own business， the hardest challenge is lack of management experience， for fresh graduates， however smart， are after all wet behind the ears. But no one is a born entrepreneur. Real management experience comes from managing a business itself.

Starting a career is never plain sailing for college graduates. There are bound to be many bumps along the way. But with foresight and perseverance they will eventually overcome the challenges and transition from college to real life. （166 words）

語言亮點借鑒：

1. Every summer sees a new batch of graduates step out of college and start their professional career.每年夏天都有新的一批大學畢業(yè)生走出校園，開始他們的職業(yè)生涯。see 見證。作此義時主語一般是某段時間或某個地點。a batch of一批。

2. For instance， they can acquire experience through working part-time or doing internships during their senior years.比如說，他們可以在高年級通過兼職或者實習來獲得經(jīng)驗。through通過，利用;等于by。work part-time兼職，也可以說work on a part-time basis或do a part-time job。do internships實習。

3. For those who wish to launch their own business， the hardest challenge is lack of management experience， for fresh graduates， however smart， are after all wet behind the ears.對于那些希望自己創(chuàng)業(yè)的人來說，最大的挑戰(zhàn)是缺乏管理經(jīng)驗，因為初出校門的大學畢業(yè)生無論多么聰明，畢竟涉世未深。however smart，無論多么聰明。這是一個省略了主語和be的讓步狀語從句。（still） wet behind the ears，乳臭未干。

4. Starting a career is never plain sailing for college graduates.開始職業(yè)生涯對大學畢業(yè)生來說絕非一帆風順。plain sailing一帆風順。

5. There are bound to be many bumps along the way.一路上肯定會有許多坎坷。? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? □
