当今越来越多的大学毕业生英语作文

当今越来越多的大学毕业生英语作文全文共3篇示例,供读者参考篇1The Rising Tide of University GraduatesWhen I walked across the stage to receive my diploma, I couldn't help but feel a mix of pride and trepidation. Pride at having successfully completed four long years of study, but trepidation at joining the ever-growing ranks of university graduates fighting for a foothold in an increasingly competitive job market. As I looked around at my fellow classmates, I realized we were part of a much larger phenomenon – the steady rise in the number of people obtaining university degrees.It's a trend that has been building for decades across the world. In many developed countries, over 50% of young adults now have a bachelor's degree or higher. My own country has seen university enrollment triple in the last 30 years alone. What was once considered an elite pathway is rapidly becoming the norm.There are many factors driving this "education revolution," as some have called it. The transition to a knowledge-basedeconomy has made higher education all but essential for accessing many career fields. Governments have invested heavily in increasing access to universities. Cultural attitudes have shifted, putting immense value on obtaining a degree. For my generation, it was simply an expectation from families and society that we would go on to university after high school.On one hand, this proliferation of degree-holders is an incredible achievement for humanity. Higher education rates correlate strongly with key measures of development like economic prosperity, health outcomes, and social progress. The average person today is more knowledgeable and skilled than previous generations. We live in an era when opportunity through education has never been greater.And yet, I can't ignore the growing chorus of voices expressing concern over the implications of so many graduates flooding the job market. With supply outpacing demand in many fields, it has become increasingly difficult to stand out from the crowd. I've had multiple friends struggle to find work commensurate with their level of education or be forced into underemployment in jobs that don't require a degree.This has led some to call into question the value of a university education, at least for certain majors. Why gohundreds of thousands into debt, they argue, if you end up in the same job you could have gotten straight out of high school? The intangible skills like critical thinking and communication are always touted as justification, but many students (myself included at times) have doubted how well these are truly imparted.From my perspective, the crux of the issue is a mismatch between employers' demands and what universities are producing. While a more educated populace is beneficial for society, the current system often fails to adequately prepare graduates for the specific competencies needed in their industries. Academic curricula can be too broad or theoretical, leaving students having to invest in further training. There are structural disconnects between education and the workforce.At the same time, I recognize that higher education was never intended as purely professional preparation. The liberal arts ideal of cultivating well-rounded thinkers and citizens still has relevance. My university experience didn't just impart specific vocational skills, but taught me how to learn, think critically, communicate effectively, and be a lifelong learner –assets that will serve me in any career path I choose.Nonetheless, I think the system could use some rebalancing and closer collaboration between universities and employers. Increased experiential and co-operative learning opportunities. Curricula that blend academic foundations with practical, applied training. Incentivizing degrees tied to in-demand fields. These could help bridge the divide between the hallowed halls of academia and the realities of the modern workforce.Not everyone needs to go the university route either. Trades and vocational training deserve greater promotion and respect as valid pathways. I have immense admiration for my friends who chose those routes and are now skilled tradespeople, pursuing hands-on careers for which a bachelor's degree would have been superfluous. For many, community college or an apprenticeship might better meet their interests and needs than the traditional four-year universityLooking forward, the emerging trend of micro-credentials and alternative micro-degrees could potentially disrupt the status quo. Why spend four years on a single qualification when you could stack career-relevant certifications as needed? Of course, these have their own controversies around quality assurance and credibility. But it's an intriguing option for thegrowing legions of working learners who need education delivered in more bite-sized, tailored ways.As for me, while the future may be uncertain, I'm trying to stay optimistic. Yes, the path won't be easy with so much competition. But I have my degree, a solid knowledge base, and a diverse skill set thanks to my studies. The key will be combining that foundation with strategic self-marketing, networking like crazy, and potentially pursuing further specializations through grad school or professional development.Because at the end of the day, I know my education was invaluable – not just for its professional dimensions, but for how it shaped me as a person. Those four years taught me grit, time management, teamwork, and how to think critically about complex issues (well...most of the time). I forged lifelong friendships, explored diverse perspectives, and grew exponentially from the raw recruit who first stepped onto campus. No salary could measure the worth of that personal growth and transformation.So while the rising tide of degree-holders certainly presents challenges, I prefer to see it as a testament to humanity's thirst for education and self-betterment. The path may be more difficult, but anything worth having requires hard work andperseverance. And if history has shown anything, it's that an educated population possesses the creativity and drive to adapt and progress, no matter what obstacles lie ahead.篇2More and More University Graduates TodayAs I prepare to graduate from university, I can't help but feel both excited and a little apprehensive about my future prospects. The reality is, there are more and more university graduates entering the job market every year, making the competition for good jobs increasingly fierce. But I try to remain hopeful and focus on making the most of the opportunities ahead.When I think back to my first year on campus, I remember feeling a bit lost and unsure of my path. There were so many different degree programs and potential careers to choose from. Ultimately, I decided to pursue a degree in business administration because I was drawn to the diversity of roles it could lead to and the versatility of the skills I would gain.Over the past four years, I've taken a wide range of courses covering everything from accounting and finance to marketing and management. While some classes were more challenging than others, I tried my best to immerse myself fully and absorbas much knowledge as possible. I've also had the chance to gain some real-world experience through internships and case competitions, which have allowed me to apply what I've learned in the classroom to actual business scenarios.One of the most valuable aspects of my university experience has been the opportunity to develop a well-rounded skill set that extends beyond just the technical knowledge gained from my courses. Through group projects, presentations, and leadership roles in student organizations, I've honed my communication, teamwork, and problem-solving abilities – skills that I know will be crucial in any professional setting.As graduation day approaches, I can't help but feel a sense of accomplishment for having successfully navigated the challenges of university life. At the same time, I'm acutely aware of the fact that I'll soon be joining the ranks of the many university graduates vying for jobs in an increasingly competitive job market.Statistics show that the number of university graduates has been steadily increasing in recent years, with more and more young people pursuing higher education in hopes of securing better career opportunities. According to data from the National Center for Education Statistics, the number of bachelor's degreesconferred in the United States has risen by over 25% in the past decade alone.While this trend reflects the growing value placed on education and the pursuit of knowledge, it also means that the job market is becoming increasingly saturated with qualified candidates. Employers now have a larger pool of applicants to choose from, making it more challenging for fresh graduates like myself to stand out and land their dream job.However, I remain optimistic about my prospects. I believe that my well-rounded education, combined with the practical experiences I've gained through internships and extracurricular activities, has equipped me with a diverse set of skills that will make me an attractive candidate to potential employers.Of course, I recognize that having a university degree alone is no longer enough to guarantee success in today's job market. Employers are looking for candidates who not only possess the necessary technical knowledge but also possess the soft skills required to thrive in a professional environment. This includes things like communication, teamwork, adaptability, and problem-solving abilities – all skills that I've had the opportunity to develop and refine during my time at university.Another factor that I believe will work in my favor is my willingness to embrace lifelong learning. In today's rapidly evolving job market, the ability to continuously acquire new knowledge and adapt to changing circumstances is becoming increasingly important. While my formal education may be coming to an end, I am committed to staying up-to-date with the latest trends and developments in my field and continuously seeking opportunities for personal and professional growth.Of course, finding that first job out of university can be a daunting task, especially in a crowded job market. I've already begun the process of updating my resume, polishing my cover letters, and reaching out to my network of contacts to explore potential opportunities. I'm also actively researching companies and industries that align with my interests and career goals, and tailoring my job search accordingly.One advantage that I have is the support and guidance of my university's career services department. They've been invaluable in helping me navigate the job search process, from reviewing my application materials to conducting mock interviews and providing insights into different industries and companies.While the path ahead may not be an easy one, I remain determined and focused on achieving my goals. I know that with hard work, perseverance, and a willingness to adapt and learn, I can overcome the challenges posed by the ever-increasing number of university graduates and carve out a successful career for myself.In the end, I believe that the key to standing out in a crowded job market is to not only possess the necessary technical skills but also to cultivate a well-rounded set of soft skills, embrace lifelong learning, and be proactive in pursuing opportunities that align with your passions and goals.As I prepare to embark on this new chapter of my life, I'm filled with a mix of excitement and trepidation. But I'm also confident in my abilities and determined to make the most of the opportunities that come my way. The road ahead may be challenging, but I'm ready to face it head-on and prove that I have what it takes to succeed in today's competitive job market.篇3More and More University Graduates NowadaysNowadays, it seems like everyone and their neighbor is getting a university degree. The number of students graduatingfrom college has been steadily increasing over the past few decades. While having a large educated population is generally a positive thing for society, this trend does come with some potential drawbacks and concerns that are worth examining.First off, let me just say that I'm really grateful to even have the opportunity to get a university education. My parents didn't go to college and had to work incredibly hard labour-intensive jobs to make ends meet. They've stressed to me since I was little how important it is to get a good education so I can have more opportunities and career options than they did. I know I'm privileged to be able to afford the tuition and I don't take it for granted.That said, I can't help but feel a bit discouraged when I think about the harsh realities of the job market waiting for me after graduation. With so many of my peers also getting degrees, the competition for good entry-level jobs is going to be intense. We're all racking up massive student loan debt yet there's no guarantee any of us will be able to find a career relevant to our field of study when we're done.Employers these days almost seem to view a bachelor's degree as the new high school diploma - the basic minimum requirement rather than an impressive achievement. It'sbecoming harder and harder to stand out in the crowd, even with a 4-year degree from a decent school. More and more job postings are asking for at least a master's, if not a PhD. The costs of education keep going up but the returns on that investment are diminishing.I've also heard lots of employers complain about the lack of job-ready skills and experience in recent graduates. They say that universities aren't properly preparing us for the "real world" and that they have to invest a ton of time and money into training us once hired. From their perspective, they'd rather hire someone with 2-3 years of relevant work experience than a fresh graduate who only knows academic theory.This raises the question of whether the university system is failing both students and employers alike. Are we just being sent expensive piece of paper instead of gaining practical hands-on training? Why isn't there more emphasis on internships, co-ops, and partnering with industry as part of the curriculum? I've heard of some colleges that are better about this than others, but sadly mine doesn't seem to be one of them.Don't get me wrong - I've learned a ton of great critical thinking, research, and communication skills by getting a liberal arts education. But I definitely see the merit in employers'criticisms about job preparedness too. A big part of me wishes I had just pursued an apprenticeship, trades program, or vocational training instead of a traditional 4-year university path. The idea of graduating with little-to-no debt and guaranteed employment is pretty appealing when I think about the crushing student loans myself and so many of my friends are dealing with.The rise of university education was probably an overcorrection for the way things used to be, when only the ultra-wealthy elite had access to higher learning. We've gone from one extreme to the other - encouraging every young person to go into debt getting a degree without enough thought about career outcomes or financial return on investment. Not everyone is meant for or needs a university education, but we've stigmatized vocational training and trades as being for unintelligent kids or dropouts.Like many things in life, we need to find a healthy balanced approach. Not every job requires a bachelor's degree, yet not every career path should be seen as inferior to a university track either. We should embrace having a diversified workforce with people of varying educational backgrounds and skillsets. At the end of the day, what really matters is being well-trained for your chosen profession - whether that's from a 4-year university, a2-year technical college, apprenticeship program, or on-the-job learning experience.I do worry about my cohort of university graduates being hit hard with a reality check after convocation. We've been groomed our whole lives being told we're bright and destined for success if we just check all the boxes. Yet many of us may end up taking whatever jobs we can find and scrambling just to pay rent and chip away at loan debt. It's going to be a harsh wake-up call realizing that our expensive degrees didn't automatically secure us a comfortable upper-middle class life like our parents' generation.What's really frustrating is seeing the degree inflation and raising of requirements for so many career tracks. For instance, you basically need a master's just to be a high school teacher or social worker now in many places. Administrative roles or anything in management often expect you to have an MBA on top of a bachelor's plus 5+ years of work experience. It's becoming way too normalized to stack credentials upon credentials without a level playing field or earning a living wage with just an undergrad degree.Maybe I'm just being cynical from the stress of upcoming graduation. Or maybe I've been a bit too idealistic about thevalue and prestige associated with getting a university education. At the end of the day, it is still a privilege that many don't have access to. An education can never be taken away from you, and nobody can devalue the hard work, knowledge, and skills you've gained along the way.Life is about way more than just credentials or fancy degrees anyway. What really matters is being a good person who works hard, contributes positively to the world, and surrounds yourself with people you care about. As long as I life a life with integrity and purpose while doing work I'm passionate about, does it really matter whether I have 2 degrees or didn't even finish high school? Employers and society may judge me based on my education pedigree, but those closest to me just want me to be happy and fulfilled.At the end of the day, my generation will be trailblazers forging a new path. We may be among the most educated cohorts in history, but that brings about opportunities as well as challenges. We're the ones who will help reshape the workforce, career trajectories, and relationship betweeneducation/credentialism and employment. We get to innovate new ways of doing things that aren't just following tradition. The future hasn't been written yet - we get to write it as we go along.Things may be tough and uncertain right now with way too many university grads chasing too few good jobs. But just like any other point in history when major societal shifts occurred, we'll adapt and persevere. Who knows, maybe we'll end up being a catalyst for positive change in the realm of higher education, careers, and work/life balance. Or maybe we'll fall flat on our faces for a while until the next generation after us gets things right. Only time will tell. But I have hope for my fellow graduates as long as we retain realistic optimism while being thoughtful about the road ahead. We've got this.。

TOEFL托福阅读真题整合托福阅读真题1__ 31Rent control is the system whereby the local government tells building owners how much they can charge their tenants in rent. In the United States, rent controls date back to at least World War II.In 1943 the federal government imposed rent controls to help solve the problem of housing shortages during wartime. The federal program ended after the war, but in some locations, including New York City, controls continued. Under New York's controls, a landlord generally cannot raise rents on apartments as long as the tenants continue to renew their leases. In places such as Santa Monica, California, rent controls are more recent. They were spurred by the inflation of the 1970's, which, combined with California's rapid population growth, pushed housing prices, as well as rents, to record levels. In 1979 Santa Monica's municipal government ordered landlords to roll back their rents to the levels charged in 1978. Future rents could only go up by two-thirds as much as any increase in the overall price level.In any housing market, rental prices perform three functions: (1) promoting the efficient maintenance of existing housing and stimulating the construction of new housing, (2) allocating existing scarce housing among competing claimants, and (3) rationing use of existing housing by potential renters.One result of rent control is a decrease in the construction of new rental units. Rent controls have artificially depressed the most important long-term determinant of profitability —rents. Consider some examples. In a recent year in Dallas, Texas, with a 16 percent rental vacancy rate but no rent control laws, 11,000 new housing units were built. In the same year, in San Francisco, California, only 2,000 units were built. The major difference? San Francisco has only a 1.6 percent vacancy rate but stringent rent control laws. In New York City, except for government-subsidized construction, the only rental units being built are luxury units, which are exempt from controls. In Santa Monica, California, new apartments are not being constructed. New office rental space and commercial developments are, however. They are exempt from rent controls.1. What does the passage mainly discuss?(A) The construction of apartments in the United States.(B) Causes and effects of rent control(C) The fluctuations of rental prices(D) The shortage of affordable housing in the United States.2. The word They in line 9 refers to(A) the tenants(B) their leases(C) places(D) rent controls.3. Which of the following was NOT a reason for the introduction of rent controls in Santa Monica,California?(A) rapid population growth(B) inflation(C) economic conditions during wartime(D) record-high housing prices4. The phrase roll back in line 11 is closest in meaning to(A) credit(B) measure(C) vary(D) reduce5. The word stimulating in line 15 is closest in meaning to(A) experimenting with(B) identifying(C) estimating(D) encouraging6. It can be inferred that the purpose of rent control is to(A) protect tenants(B) promote construction(C) increase vacancy rates(D) decrease sales of rental units7. The word depressed in line 19 is closest in meaning to(A) saddened(B) created(C) lowered(D) defeated8. The information in the last paragraph supports which of the following statements?(A) San Francisco has eliminated its rent control laws.(B) Rent control leads to a reduction in the construction of housing units(C) Luxury apartments are rarely built when there is rent control(D) There is a growing need for government-subsidized housing.9.

The word stringent in line 23 is closest in meaning to(A) straightforward(B) strict(C) expanded(D) efficient11. According to the passage , which of the following is NOT exempt from rent control?(A) Luxury apartments(B) Commercial development(C) Moderately priced apartments(D) Office space.__ 31 BDCDD ACBBB C托福阅读真题232By 1776 the fine art of painting as it had developed in western Europe up to this time had been introduced into the American colonies through books and prints, European visitors andimmigrants, and traveling colonists who brought back copies (and a few original) of old master paintings and acquaintance with European art institutions.By the outbreak of the Revolution against British rule in 1776, the status of the artists had already undergone change. In the mid-eighteenth century, painters had been willing to assume such artisan-related tasks as varnishing, gilding teaching, keeping shops, and painting wheel carriages, houses, and signs. The terminology by which artists were described at the time suggests their status: limner was usually applied to the anonymous portrait painter up to the 1760's; painter characterized anyone who could paint a flat surface. By the second half of the century, colonial artists who were trained in England or educated in the classics rejected the status of laborer and thought of themselves as artists. Some colonial urban portraitists, such as John Singleton Copley, Benjamin West, and Charles Wilson Peale, consorted with affluent patrons. Although subject to fluctuations in their economic status, all three enjoyed sufficient patronage to allow them to maintain an image of themselves as professional artists, an image indicated by their custom of signing their paintings. A few art collectors James Bowdoin III of Boston, William Byrd of Virginian, and the Aliens andHamiltons of Philadelphia introduced European art traditions to those colonists privileged to visit their galleries, especially aspiring artists, and established in their respective communities the idea of the value of art and the need for institutions devoted to its encouragement.Although the colonists tended to favor portraits, they also accepted landscapes, historical works, and political engravings as appropriate artistic subjects.

Psychologists who study optimization compare the actual decisions made by people to theoretical ideal decisions to see how similar they are. Proponents of the worksheet procedure believe that it will yield optimal, that is, the best decisions. Although there are several variations on the exact format that worksheets can take, they are all similar in their essential aspects. Worksheets require defining the problem in a clear and concise way and then listing all possible solutions to the problem. Next, the pertinent considerations that will be affected by each decision are listed, and the relative importance of each consideration or consequence is determined. Each consideration is assigned a numerical value to reflect its relative importance. A decision is mathematically calculated by adding these values together. The alternative with the highest number of points emerges as the best decision.Since most important problems are multifaceted, there are several alternatives to choose from, each with unique advantages and disadvantages. One of the benefits of a pencil and paper decision-making procedure is that it permits people to deal with more variables than their minds can generally comprehend and remember.On the average, people can keep about seven ideas in their minds at once. A worksheet can be especially useful when the decision involves a large number of variables with complex relationships. A realistic example for many college students is the question What will I do after graduation? A graduate might seek a position that offers specialized training, pursue an advanced degree, or travel abroad for a year.A decision-making worksheet begins with a succinct statement of the problem that will also help to narrow it. It is important to be clear about the distinction between long-range and immediate goals because long-range goals often involve a different decision than short-range ones. Focusing on long- range goals, a graduating student might revise the question above to What will I do after graduation that will lead to successful career?1. What does the passage mainly discuss?(A) A tool to assist in making complex decisions.(B) A comparison of actual decisions and ideal decisions(C) Research on how people make decisions(D) Differences between long-range and short-range decision making2. The word essential in line 7 is closest in meaning to(A) introductory(B) changeable(C) beneficial(D) fundamental3. The word pertinent in line 9 is closest in meaning to(A) relevant(B) preceding(C) insightful(D) responsive4. Of the following steps, which occurs before the others in making a decision worksheet?(A) Listing the consequences of each solution(B) Calculating a numerical summary of each solution(C) Deciding which consequences are most important(D) Writing down all possible solutions5. According to decision-worksheet theory, an optimal decision is defined as one that(A) has the fewest variables to consider(B) uses the most decision worksheets(C) has the most points assigned to it(D) is agreed to by the greatest number of people6. The author develops the discussion in paragraph 1 bymeans of(A) describing a process(B) classifying types of worksheets(C) providing historical background(D) explaining a theory7. The author states that On the average, people can keep about seven ideas in their minds atonce (lines 17-18) to explain that(A) most decisions involve seven steps(B) human mental capacity has limitations(C) some people have difficulty making minor as well as major decisions(D) people can learn to keep more than seven ideas in their minds with practice8. The word succinct in line 24 is closest in meaning to(A) creative(B) satisfactory(C) personal(D) concise9. Which of the following terms is defined in the passage(A) Proponents (line 5)(B) Optimal (line 5)(C) Variables (line 17)(D) Long-range goals (line 25)10.

The Last Supper measures 460 cm × 880 cm (180 in × 350 in) and covers an end wall of the dining hall at the monastery of Santa Maria delle Grazie in Milan, Italy. The theme was a traditional one forrefectories, although the room was not a refectory at the time that Leonardo painted it. The main church building had only recently been completed (in 1498), but was remodeled by Bramante, hired by Ludovico Sforza to build a Sforza family mausoleum.[1] The painting was commissioned by Sforza to be the centerpiece of the mausoleum.[2] Thelunettes above the main painting, formed by the triple arched ceiling of the refectory, are painted with Sforza coatsof-arms. The opposite wall of the refectory is covered by the Crucifixion fresco by Giovanni Donato da Montorfano, to which Leonardo added figures of the Sforza family in tempera. (These figures have deteriorated in much the same way as has The Last Supper.) Leonardo began work on The Last Supper in 1495 and completed it in 1498—he did not work on the painting continuously. The beginning date is not certain, as the archives of the convent for the period have been destroyed and a document dated 1497 indicates that the painting was nearly completed at that date.[3] One story goes that a prior from the monastery complained to Leonardo about the delay, enraging him. He wrote to the head of the monastery, explaining he had been struggling to find the perfect villainous face for Judas, and that if he could not find a face corresponding with what he had in mind, he would use the features of the prior who complained.

But most successful entrepreneurs have the craftsmans spirit.The "craftsman spirit" can be seen from the example of the Swiss tabemaker. Swiss watchmakers carefully polish and polish every part, every process and watch, and their intention to create products is the spirit and idea of craftsmen. In the eyes of the craftsmen, only on the quality of excellence, for the manufacture of perfect, strict in demands pursuing, in addition, no other. It is with the intent of specific artisan spirit, to world famous Swiss watches, selling the world and become a classic.The spirit of the craftsman is not a Swiss patent, and Japanese style management has a trick: with a better attitude, thespirit of a love of work is passed down from one generation to another. This spirit is actually the "craftsman spirit".The core of the so-called craftsman spirit is not only to regard work as a tool for making money, but to set up a spirit of persisting in work, doing things and producing products, strives for perfection and craftsmanship. Among many Japanese enterprises, the craftsmanship spirit forms a common cultural and ideological value between leaders and employees, and thus creates the endogenous driving force of enterprises.Oscar was in the Japanese film "departures". A cello teacher laid off to the funeral hall when a funeral division, through his reach the acme of perfection makeup artistry with a body, was dressed up like alive falling asleep. He was also praised by the people. The success of the funeral division of the speech is: when you do something, you must follow it to establish a kind of complex come come dont reject it, take it as a life, spiritual life body, intentions to communicate with it.The methods used by the craftsmen to create value"Craftsman" is a highly skilled man. In Europe, the apprenticeship tradition of Germany has cultivated the best craftsmen and the top Swiss watches. They are all made up of craftsmen, one part and one part. The spirit of the craftsman is to pursue the spirit of the extreme, and to be professional and focused.In this age of "the spirit of the merchant". Both individuals and businesses face huge challenges for survival. For example, some enterprises based on Shanzhai products can survive when the external environment is good, but once the external environment becomes bad, enterprises will easily go bankrupt immediately.The core factor of the enterprise is human, and the way out of this dilemma is to cultivate the "craftsman spirit" of the enterprise. The craftsmen continue to carve their products and constantly improve their craft, and they are enjoying the process of sublimation in the hands of the products. Other companies interested in money - do die of a product - a new money -". But the enterprises that create "craftsman spirit" are satisfied with their spiritual needs on the other hand. They are constantly improving and perfecting their products, and finally exist in a form that is consistent with their strict requirements.The craftsman works for money, but the craftsman does not work for the money. The work of a person is the expression of the attitude of others, and the career of a life is the expression and ideal of his ambition.The artisan spirit is not exotic, "Chuang-tzu" were recorded in a "Paodingjieniu" story.The chef slaughtered cattle for Liang Hui. With his hand, shoulder the place the foot on the top of the local place, knees, rattled, feed excluded excluded, there is no temperament.Wang Hui Wang asked, "how can you overcome the technology of cattle to this degree?"The chef replied that he was in contact with the spirit of the cow instead of his eyes, according to the original construction of the body of the cow. Insert a gap with a thin blade. For nineteen years, his blade was as sharp as he had just worn out of a grindstone.The chef also said: whenever the bones and bones interlaced, it was difficult to place the knife. He carefully concentrated his attention. His eyesight was concentrated to a point. The movement slowed down, and the knife was very light.Paodingjieniu story tell people a reason to do anything to do heart to God, can reach the peak of perfection realm, reach the acme of perfection. Look at the famous Swiss watch and bring the technology to the top. The top quality has made the top brands.The work of the craftsman in the action of understanding the fun of practiceThe craftsmans spirit is not a slogan, it exists in every person, in the heart. For a long time, due to the lack of insistence, pursuit and accumulation of boutique, our personal growth path is rugged, and the way of organization development is full of punishment. This lack also makes the lasting innovation difficult, and makes the evergreen industry become rare. Therefore, in the era of growing shortage of resources, it is the only way for survival and development to reclaim the spirit of craftsmen and rebuild the spirit of craftsmen.工匠精神作文英语作文篇2Big craftsman, imaginative. Craftsmen depend on the inheritance and research of technology, the dedication and firmness of their work. This also confirms the truth of "conscientiously doing things right, and doing things well by heart". Thousands of jobs, with no exception whatsoever.In the meantime, I have been in the factory for 6 years. The first job after entering the factory is sampling, which is mainly responsible for providing experimental materials for the experimenter. At that time, I felt that I was engaged in a monotonous job, without much technical content, and I called myself a fabric porter. Later, I became an experimenter, and after I did the experiment, I realized the importance of the sampling. Since only representative samples are taken, the test results willbe more valuable.In the past six years, every job adjustment has been a challenge for me. The new start means a new journey, but no matter how the position changes, we must keep a consistent attitude towards work. No matter what work you face, you need to sink your heart and do it on a solid basis. As the saying goes, "if you want to float, you must go down first." In my side there are many on the job more than 20 years old employees, they made every dish and work diligently, in the extraordinary position unknown to the public this spirit is worthy of my learning.Carry forward the "artisan spirit" in any era will not become obsolete, we need to treat the work, the practice of "post on their own artisan spirit", and strive to become the various types of a new era of craftsmen.工匠精神作文英语作文篇3The "craftsman spirit" can not be realized because it is "Virtue", not "talent". "Virtue" can only be understood subjectively, but it cannot be objectively judged. You must take "Virtue" as the standard instead of "Cai" as the standard. The final result must be that whoever has good relationship with the media and who has good relationship with the local government will have the craftsman spirit.Lets see what does this word mean: Artisan spirit, refers to the craftsmen for their products carved, the spirit of excellence concept.The concrete point is that the craftsmen continue to carve their own products, constantly improve their craft, and enjoy the process of sublimation of their products in their hands. Craftsmen have high requirements for details, pursue perfectionand perfection, persist in pursuit of quality products, and raise their quality from 99% to 99 and 99%.Unlike the 4 and 0 industry is not so complicated, so big data cloud. And the reason that such a simple concept is going to be so hot in China is more simple, and even the prime minister has to admit that we dont have this.As for why the Germans and Japanese have craftsmens spirit, but we Chinese are not, all kinds of scholars have different opinions. In the end, there is a conclusion: Germanic people are cattle, national character is preciseness, and peoples spiritual realm is high.This seems to make sense, but the rabbit carefully studied history and found a little problem. East Germany is a Germanic man! The most important reason for the collapse of the East German economy is the poor quality of the products, the loss of the market of the socialist camp and the failure to withstand the competition in the West. Is this the Germanic spirit is the craftsman or by the West Village East Village separated?What will the craftsman spirit bring to the Chinese manufacturing? In fact, high speed iron is a good model. Great Xiao Lin has a deep feeling about it. He believed that China began to make high-speed railway since more than ten years ago. Now many parts of the world have been leading the world, because the high-speed rail practitioners always adhere to the spirit of craftsmen under the states attention. The government work report also mentioned the need to increase variety, quality and brand. Zhao Ping believes that this means that enterprises and employees can not only take care of the short-term benefits, but also take into account the long-term social benefits. Sun Mingbo, taking Tsingtao Brewerys experience of creating an internationalbrand as an example, said that we must concentrate on what we cannot do to make money and firmly grasp the main line of brand so as to have potential for development."The craftsmanship spirit has pointed out the direction for Chinese manufacturing. For our practitioners, this is a revelation, that is the time to make transformation and upgrading in China." Li Linghong regards this as part of the structural reform of the supply side. He analyzed that our country can create many sophisticated equipment, but for a long time, the community did not attach importance to the spirit of craftsmen, which resulted in overproduction of many products, but the quality was not good enough. "When upgrading, we should vigorously promote the spirit of the craftsman, Chinese manufacturing can become a famous brand, real world."Today, what we really want to learn is the craftsman system, the custom of making the craftsmen in the manufacturing industry with the system, and then subliming the craftsmans habit to the craftsmans spirit.The system - the habit - the spirit, this is the only way to make the Renaissance in China, and this road can not rely on the Confucianists and must rely on the Legalists.Do not use the romantics of "craftsman spirit" to cover up the lack of the "craftsman system".工匠精神作文英语作文篇4Today, every product’s asking for earning more profits in the shortest time, so the manufacturers sell cheap products to the customers. The chasing of profit makes people lose their patience to create products wi th higher quality. The craftsman’s spirit seems to fade away.现在,每一种产品都要求在最短的时间内获得最大的利润,所以制造商们将廉价的产品卖给了顾客。
