五 情景作文：教育文化类（兼职）

Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write an essay commenting on the saying “As long as college students are cautious, real-world experience can greatly benefit their future careers.” You can cite one example or two to illustrate your point of view. You should write at least 150 words but no more than 200 words.

（一）预测范文

The typical college student spends most of his or her time studying and, occasionally, participating in various sports or extracurricular activities. Increasingly, however, it has become common for university students to take on part-time jobs or even start their own businesses prior to graduation.

Students who launch their own businesses or take on part-time jobs can gain valuable insight into their future career path. To illustrate, by taking a summer job as an accountant or marketing analyst, business majors could see whether a particular field interests them on more than an academic level. Despite the benefits to students of “getting their feet wet” in the business world, it is critical to maintain academic studies as a top priority. Students who already have a heavy course load should limit their working hours and, if possible, ask for a leave of absence during examination periods.

Ultimately, every student must decide how best to allocate his or her time outside of class. For those with a manageable schedule, exploratory mind and entrepreneurial spirit, work experience prior to graduation can offer important career benefits—not to mention a paycheck.

（二）参考译文

大学生一般会将大部分时间用于学习，有时候也会参加各类体育活动或课外活动。但是，大学生兼职或在毕业前就开始创业的现象也日益普及。

创业或兼职的学生对自己未来的职业道路能有清晰的认识。例如，主修商业的学生若在暑期兼职做过会计或市场分析师，就能知道某个专业领域在现实中是否能真正地吸引他们，而不仅仅只从学术的角度去看待这些专业。尽管学生能在涉足商界的经历中获益匪浅，但将学习放在首位仍非常关键。课业繁重的学生应该控制工作时间并尽量在考试期间请假。

最后，每位学生都必须知道如何才能最好地分配课余时间。对于那些能合理安排时间，有探索精神和创业理想的同学而言，毕业前的工作经验会使他们在未来的职场中受益匪浅，更别提他们已得到的那份薪水了。

（四）道长点评

近年来，六级写作经常借鉴四级、专四、专八，甚至考研的写作真题，笔者希望考生引起高度重视。2013年，考研英语（二）写作已经考查“大学生兼职”这一话题。

（五）句型拓展

① Regardless of whether a part-time job prove to be interesting or dull, or whether a student succeeds or fails in a business venture, the mere fact of having work experience will come in handy when seeking a full-time job after graduation. 且不管兼职工作是有趣还是无聊，或学生在创业中成败与否，只要学生拥有一份工作经验，那就能在毕业找工作时派上用场。

② Corporate recruiters place a premium on well-rounded students who not only have good grades but also possess real entrepreneurial or employment experience. 公司的招聘人员欣赏全面发展的学生，他们不仅有高学分，还拥有真正的创业或工作经验。

③ Employers will regard these students as more ambitious, hard-working and mature than graduates who lack such work experience. 雇主会认为，与那些缺乏工作经验的学生相比，他们有更强烈的上进心，工作更努力，而且更为成熟。
