参考范文
What are we proudest of in life? The answer varies from person to person. 1 Personally, taking a part-time job while studying in the college is what I am proudest of. 2
In my opinion, to enter a college is a sign of the beginning of adulthood. To prepare for a successful future, it is time for me to say goodbye to those days when I depended on my parents. I should learn to be independent both economically and psychologically. 3 Therefore, I found a position in a restaurant as a waiter. Hard as it is, I realized that making money is not easy, and thus swore off the bad habit of randomly spending. 4 Besides, I tasted the sweetness of perseverance when I got my first salary. I believe that it is a good start for my future. 5
There are lots of spoiled children who depend on their parents fully now. Taking a part-time job is a good opportunity for them to learn how to be independent. 6
生命中最值得我们骄傲的是什么?答案因人而异。就我个人而言,在大学读书期间做兼职让我感到最自豪。
在我看来,进入大学就是进入成人期的开始。为了为成功的未来做好准备,是时候向那些依赖父母的日子说再见了。我应该学会在经济和心理方面都独立起来。因此,我在饭店找到了一份当服务生的工作。尽管工作很苦,我却意识到了挣钱不易,因此立誓戒掉了乱花钱的坏习惯。另外,当我拿到第一份薪水时,我尝到了“坚持”带给我的甜蜜。我相信,这对于我的未来而言,是一个很好的开始。
现如今有很多完全依赖父母的、被宠坏的孩子。做兼职工作是让他们学会独立的一个很好的机会。

句法点评
1. To prepare for a successful future, it is time for me to say goodbye to those days when I depended on my parents.
It is time for sb. to do sth.为固定句式,意为“到了某人做某事的时间了”。
2. Taking a part-time job is a good opportunity for them to learn how to be independent.
本句中,taking a part-time job是动名词短语,在句中做主语,疑问词how与不定式短语连用,共同做动词learn的宾语。
