1． For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a short essay entitled Working in Big Cities or Small Sized Cities? following the outline given below．You should write at least 120 words but no more than 180 words． 1．大学毕业生面临到大城市还是小城市工作的艰难抉择 2．到大城市和小城工作各有什么优缺点 3．我的看法
正确答案： With employment pressure increasing in big cities in recent years, college graduates’ decisions about where to go after graduation have become a big problem. In some sense, to work in a big city or a small sized city, that is a tough question for many college graduates. On the one hand, the rising living cost and fierce competition are making it ever more difficult for college graduates to gain a firm foothold in big cities. However, big cities do bring more opportunities and higher salaries. On the other hand, life in small sized cities is much easier than that in big cities. Moreover, companies in small cities offer broader career development, which means college graduates can achieve success in career much earlier. From my point of view, where to work after graduation largely depends on what matters most for each graduate. Since an easier life means more to me, working in a small sized city is not a bad idea for me. 涉及知识点：作文
2． For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a short essay entitled on Self-employment following the outline given below．You should write at least 120 words but no more than 180 words． 1．越来越多大学生走上了自主创业的道路 2．自主创业的益处和挑战 3．我对自主创业的看法
正确答案： Now more and more college graduates no longer wait to be employed by enterprises passively. Instead, many of them choose to employ themselves and be their own boss. Indeed, self-employment has its advantages. Firstly, college students starting then-own businesses enjoy the support and guidance of the government, such as tax relief and business start-up loan. Secondly, self-employment gives the young entrepreneurs a sense of accomplishment and independence. They have the right to handle their enterprises’ own affairs and make very important decisions by their own. But self-entrepreneurship also has so many challenges to meet. Lack of related experience, training, business environment, and enough start-up funds are the obstacles for the young ambitious entrepreneur. As I see it, self-employment is a nice choice for those with adequate conditions. It can also help to relieve the great employment pressure at present. But young people should never rush into this field as it is full of unknown factors. 涉及知识点：作文
