经济危机对大学生的影响英语作文
The Economic Ouchie and College Big Kids
My name is Timmy and I'm 8 years old. My big sister Sara is 20 and goes to university. Grown-ups have been talking a lot about something called the "economic crisis" lately. It sounds really bad and scary!
From what I can tell, it means there's not enough money and jobs for everyone. A lot of people lost their jobs and can't buy as many things as before. Even my parents are having money troubles and fighting about it sometimes.
Sara says the economic crisis is really affecting her and her friends at college too. Here's what she told me about how it's creating big problems for university students:
Money Troubles
The biggest issue is money of course. College is super expensive, even with scholarships and loans. When money is tight, some students can't afford tuition and fees anymore.
Sara had to get a part-time job at the grocery store to help pay for books and food. Some of her friends had to drop out completely because their parents lost their jobs and couldn't
afford to pay anything. Others are taking fewer classes to save money, which means it will take longer to graduate.
Sara says financial stress is the number one thing causing anxiety and depression for her whole friend group. Money worries are really weighing on their mental health.
Hard to Get Jobs
Another huge problem is getting jobs after graduating. Normally companies hire a bunch of new graduates every year. But with the economic ouchie, they aren't hiring as many people.
Grown-ups with years of experience are also losing their jobs. That means there's way more competition for the few open jobs there are. College grads are having to compete against unemployed people with way more experience than them.
A bunch of Sara's friends already graduated and still don't have jobs in their fields. Some had to take lower paying jobs they didn't go to school for, like being a barista or cashier. Others are still living with their parents because they can't afford rent.
Sara is really stressed about being able to find a good job when she graduates next year. She's worried all her hard work and money spent on college will be for nothing if she can't use her degree.
Housing Headaches
Having a place to live is another major pain caused by the economic crisis. With less money coming in, renters are getting evicted or having to downgrade to crappier, smaller apartments. Home prices are falling too, which is bad for people trying to sell.
The dorms at Sara's school are packed full because more students have to live there instead of getting their own places. But dorm costs have gone way up along with other fees. Sara and her roommates can barely afford their tiny dorm room as it is.
Sara tells me stories of students living in their cars or crashing on friends' couches because they literally have nowhere to go. Some had to drop out of school entirely when they lost their housing situation. It's a really sad situation.
Overall Stress
So as you can see, the economic crisis is creating huge amounts of stress and uncertainty for college kids in lots of different ways. Beyond just the financial struggles, it's leading to more depression, anxiety, and overal worse mental health.
Sara says the vibe on campus has gotten really gloomy and unmotivated compared to a few years ago when the economy
was better. Students are constantly worrying about money, jobs, housing, and what their futures will even look like. It's hard to stay focused on their studies with all that weight on their shoulders.
A bunch of Sara's friends aren't even sure if going to university was worth all the money anymore, since they might not get good jobs anyway. The whole experience has been really demoralizing for a lot of them.
I don't fully understand everything about economic downturns and recessions. But I do know it's causing my big sister and her friends to have a much tougher time in college than kids just a few years older than them did. The financial strain and uncertainty is putting a huge toll on them mentally and emotionally.
I just hope the economy gets better again soon for their sakes! College is already way harder than elementary school. They've got enough to worry about with homework and exams and growing up. They shouldn't have to struggle so much with basic stuff like money, jobs and housing too. It doesn't seem fair.
Grown-ups, please fix this economic ouchie quickly so Sara and her friends don't have to stress so much! A kid's biggest worry should be about what's for lunch, not whether they'll be
able to find a job or have a place to live after graduation. Let them enjoy their youth and focus on learning!。
