My View on the Post-graduate Craze
Every year, millions of college students attend the post-graduate entrance examination. An increasing number of students have regarded the pursuing of a master degree as an indispensable part of their education. What is to account for their enthusiasm for a post-graduate diploma?
First, it is the demand of the society. In an age of knowledge updating and information explosion, what you have learned in college can hardly meet the demand of society. Talents of high quality who are equipped with the latest knowledge and skill will be needed more. That is why many students will further their studies. Second, we all recognize that the more education you have, the more likely you are to succeed. Compared with those without a master degree, masters will enjoy more preferential treatment, for example, better salaries, more opportunities for promotion and training. A post-graduate degree can guarantee a more promising career. Last but not least, with the graduation of a large number of college students, competition for jobs becomes more and more fierce.
In conclusion, one way to gain some advantages over others in our society is to have a higher degree. No wonder millions of students will consider pursuing a post-graduate degree. (199 words)
結(jié)構(gòu)剖析
文章分為三段
第一段引出話(huà)題，每年都有大量的大學(xué)生考研，并提出為什么會(huì)有考研熱。
第二段以first, second, last but not least開(kāi)頭分析了三方面的原因?qū)е驴佳袩帷?/p>
第三段用in conclusion作結(jié)，表示考研是獲取優(yōu)勢(shì)的重要途徑。
我對(duì)考研熱的看法
每年均有數(shù)以萬(wàn)計(jì)的大學(xué)生考研。越來(lái)越多的學(xué)生將攻讀碩士學(xué)位視為教育不可或缺的一部分。是什么導(dǎo)致了他們對(duì)研究生學(xué)位的狂熱呢?
首先是社會(huì)需求。在這個(gè)知識(shí)更新與信息爆炸的年代，你在大學(xué)中所學(xué)的幾乎無(wú)法滿(mǎn)足社會(huì)的要求。社會(huì)更需要那種新知識(shí)與新技術(shù)兼?zhèn)涞母呒?jí)人才。這就是為什么學(xué)生選擇繼續(xù)深造的原因。其次，我們都意識(shí)到，你受教育程度越高，成功的可能性就越大。相比那些未獲得碩士學(xué)位的人，碩士們將享受更好的待遇，例如，薪水更高、升職和培訓(xùn)的機(jī)會(huì)更多。一個(gè)碩士研究生學(xué)位能夠保證你的前程更光明。最后，很重要的一點(diǎn)是，隨著大批大學(xué)生畢業(yè)，職業(yè)競(jìng)爭(zhēng)也愈演愈烈。
總而言之，在我們的社會(huì)中，想要比他人更有優(yōu)勢(shì)的一種方法就是擁有更高的學(xué)歷。無(wú)怪乎成千上萬(wàn)的學(xué)生考慮繼續(xù)攻讀碩士學(xué)位。
