Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a short essay according to the following situation. You should write at least 150 words but no more than 200 words.

审题立意
1. 导语解读:要求考生根据情景内容就“我的第一份工作 ”这一话题进行简述。
2. 情景解读:假设你是一名大四的学生,即将毕业并拥有自己的第一份工作。你会将第一份工作作为终身的职业,还是以此为未来的目标积累经验?
3. 文章立意:大学刚毕业,由于自身能力有限,未必在一开始就能找到一份适合自己长远发展的工作。因此,很难讲是否会以此为终身职业。
写作思路
1. 第一段简要描述情景内容,并提出观点:第一份工作未必会是自己的终身职业。
2. 第二段分析原因,第一份工作主要是为将自己所学应用于实践,并且积累一定的经验,提升能力。
3. 第三段呼应文章论点,简要总结是否会跳槽取决于第一份工作是否能顺应自己的职业发展需求。
参考范文
I am going to graduate from college and get the first job of my life in a couple of months. 1 I have to admit that it’s so thrilling to live on my own after having been wholly dependent on my parents financially for more than two decades. 2 Nevertheless, I am not so sure whether I am going to work there for my whole life or not. 3
When hunting my first job, the most important aspect for me is gaining experience. As a fresh college graduate, I’m convinced that my first job will provide a precious opportunity for me to obtain working experience as much as possible. By integrating book knowledge with practical experience, I will improve myself in all aspects ranging from solving technical problems to communicating with colleagues. 4 Accordingly, 5 my great improvement will help me switch to another more promising job if my first job cannot afford me development space.
In short, if my career development could benefit from my first job, I would stay with it; otherwise, my first job might turn out to be a springboard to my future success. 6
几个月以后我即将大学毕业并且获得我人生中的第一份工作。 我不得不承认,在经济上依赖父母二十多年后能够自食其力是多么的令人兴奋。尽管如此,我还是不太确定是否会一辈子都不跳槽。
首先,当我一次找工作的时候,对我来说最重要的是积累经验。作为一名应届毕业生,我相信我的第一份工作能让我获得尽可能多的工作经验,这无疑是一个宝贵的机会。把书本知识与实践经验结合起来,可以让我在各个方面都得到锻炼,无论是在解决专业技术问题方面还是在与同事沟通方面。这样,如果第一份工作不能给我提供发展空间,我增长起来的能力可以让我换到另一份更有前景的工作。
总而言之,我的第一份工作如果对我的职业发展有帮助,我会留下来;否则,第一份工作可能将是我取得更大收获的跳板。

句法点评
1. Nevertheless, I am not so sure whether I am going to work there for my whole life or not.
这句话中使用了表示意义转折的并列连词nevertheless,亦作nonetheless,表示“然而”。
2. In short, if my career development could benefit from my first job, I would stay with it; otherwise, my first job might turn out to be a springboard to my future success.
这句话中使用了表示选择的并列连词otherwise,并相当于虚拟条件从句,表示对将来可能发生的事情的假设。
