7、, of course harder to get an ideal job. In fact, many factors contribute to the unfavorable situation.First, more and more students can go to college because of the being fast improved high education of China. As a result, there are more graduates every year. However, job vacancies dont increase tha
8、t fast. More people, less food, which is the exact description of the hard condition. Second, more and more people go on to pursue their master and doctor degree; more and more Chinese oversea students come back to China to hunt better working chances.

9、e fierce. Third, because of the fast development of science, technology, economy, society and the interchange of different nations, all units have higher requirement of their employees, for example, stronger ability and higher degree.In addition to the factors above, there are still more which bring
10、 hardship for graduates to find jobs. Nevertheless, how to solve the problem is more important. It is a good idea for the graduates to learn more knowledge with a higher degree and to practice and improve their capability of dealing with all kinds of situation, organization, having good terms with o
11、thers and cooperative spirit. Besides, the government should try to and encourage all units to create more job vacancies for the college graduates.

12、1. 择业是每个青年人都要面临的问题。2. 择业的标准是什么。3. 我们应持的态度。Choosing career is a problem that every youth must be faced. First of all, when a person has grown up, he has to decide which field he will go into so that he can earn enough money and support himself. Besides, with so many people rushing into the city from
13、the country, there are fewer and fewer job opportunities available and it is becoming increasingly difficult for one to find a suitable job.There are many factors to be considered when one is choosing a career. One factor is that a young man has to find a job that will bring him a good income for a
14、comfortable life. Interest is another factor. The job should be interesting and motivating. Finally, one should find a job that suits his talent, so that he can make full use of his potential.But what preparations should a young man make in order to choose a good job? One must first of all be seriou
15、s about this matter because it will have an influence on his whole life. Then, to meet the requirements of demanding jobs, one needs to have certain qualifications. It is therefore essential for him to acquire basic knowledge and skills.五、面对压力、困难、挫折、灾难的主题Sample 2 On Stress 面对压力1. 压力是学生和工作的人都面对的事情。2.
16、 有人说压力过大，影响到身心健康，使人无法做出最佳表现;也有人说，压力能够使人不断进取，是一个人不断进步的必须条件。3. 我的看法。（1.有的人害怕压力。2.有的人认为压力并不是一件坏事。3.我的看法。）With the fast pace of modern life, more and more people are living under great pressure.Some people are afraid of pressure. They think that the stresses and strains of work deprive them of joy and h
17、appiness. In their view, stress does harm to them both physically and mentally. That is why they prefer something less competitive and strenuous to something more demanding and challenging.Others argue that stress isnt as bad as it often supposed to be. Unless it is overwhelming, a certain amount of
18、 stress is vital to provide motivation and stimulation. Without stress, you may slack off and idle away your time. It gives purpose and meaning to an otherwise meaningless, dull life. People under stress tend to bring their potential into full play and to realize their goals.In my opinion, we should
19、nt escape from stress but to face it as it is. What we can do is to adapt to the stress and to profit from it rather than to avoid it. Sample 3 On disasters 面对灾难1. 人的一生中，可能会遇到一些灾难事件，给我们的生活带来意外的打击。2. 面对灾难，我们应该坚强，不要过于沉湎于悲痛，积极面对人生。As we all know, ones life is full of unexpected events, some of which ar
20、e wonderful and some of which are disastrous. Those heavy blows, such as, floods, snowstorms, and earthquakes, threaten to weigh one down.However, its even worse if one cant drag himself out of the grief in that break-down in the sprit is more serious than the disaster itself. Instead of indulging o
21、neself in sadness, one should be positive of life and contribute to the reconstruction of the hometown.As to me, if I am not the victim of a disaster, I will try my best to help those who are suffering by donation blood or money. If I am a victim, I will try my best to recover from the sadness as so
22、on as possible and try to be strong and supportive to the recovery work.Sample4 On Crisis 论危机1.危机的作用2.举个例子说明 3.总结Crisis is to us what illness is to our body. On the one hand, illness can harm our body and sometimes even put an end to our life. In the same manner, crisis can cause damage to our life
23、and career. On the other, just as illness sometimes can harden and strengthen our body （our immune system）, so crises, especially those minor crises in life sometimes can be turned into a bless to us.A ready example that comes to mind is the earthquake crisis that has recently devastate most of Kyus
24、hu, Qinghai Province . Admittedly, it has cost us quite a lot. So many people were seriously injured and still so many even lost their lives. And our economy suffers a temporary setback and a slowdown. However we also have learned a great deal from it. Never has our nation been so united or have our
25、 people been more aware of value of lives.All in all, if we can bear in mind all the sufferings and ordeals we have experienced, then all our blood, tear, toil and sweat will not go unrewarded.六、 投诉信Sample1（1）陈述你对学校图书馆的不满（2）列举图书馆存在的问题（3）希望能够得到改进September, 11Dear President,I am a sophomore with the D
