Graduates Face Many Barriers in Job HuntingIt is graduation time again. Whether joining the social workforce or pursuing advance d studies, about four million Chinese graduates will soon turn a new page in their live s. Still, no matter what, campus life will remain deeply etched on the minds of China's former students. What lies ahead for the country's graduates?Statistics released by relevant departments of China show that in 2006, graduates fro m all Chinese colleges and universities numbered 4.13 million, up 750,000 from 2005 with a growth rate of roughly 22%. Hence, the employment tension further intensifies . Meanwhile, various intangible barriers exist in social relations, regional restriction, p ermanent residency and university's reputation have made the graduates' job-hunting p rocess tougher.Some analyze that against the backdrop of intensified employment tension for univers ity graduates, needy students from rural and urban areas usually find themselves in rel atively inferior positions.Some graduates realize that in order to get a job, they have to sign some "unfair treatie s" that promise not to take the postgraduate exam or leave the company within several years, or they have to pay 5,000 Yuan for breaching the contract. Some recruiters eve n declare openly that they only need students from famous universities, so graduates f rom other schools are not even entitled to apply.Currently the contradiction in China's higher education has transferred from entering t o leaving a university and from the difficulty in enrollment to employment after gradu ation. It has become a common phenomenon that "graduates become jobless". Should this problem not be tackled rightly, the employment issue would turn into a new factor that causes social instability.College—A New ExperienceLiving at college, first of all, gives me a sense of responsibility, of being on my own. My parents aren’t around to say, ―No,you’re not going out tonight‖ or ―Did you fin ish your homework?‖ Everything I do has to be my decision, and that gives me the res ponsibility of handling my own life. During the second week I was at college, I had to go out and look for a bank where I could open an account. Before that I looked in the phone book since I had no clue about any banks around here or where they were locat ed. I went to the bank and made decisions for myself—whether to have a checking or savings account and whether or not to get a MASTER card.Friendly people: that’s another aspect I like about college. On my first day (and eve n now) people were nice to me. I came to Marymount University here in Virginia fro m New York and – even though I’d been here before—I was a bit confused about whe re I was going. My mother and I drove in, not knowing the building we were supposed to go to, and the guard was especially nice: with a smile, he told us what building we were looking for and where we could park our car. Some upperclassmen saw me and asked, ―Are you a new student?‖ When they found out I was looking for my dormito ry, one said, ―Oh, just follow us; that’s where we’re going.‖ Even now Ifeel comfortable in the dorm because there are friendly people around to talk with. F inally—to add to my likes of college—I love having Saturdays off. Also, I love to slee p in, something I co uldn’t do in high school.How Can We Finance Our College Education?Nowadays, tuition fees for college are much higher than ever before. How to financ e our college education has become a matter of concern for many students, especially those who are from the remote areas.Actually, there are many ways to solve this problem. We can get the money from our parents. We can apply for a loan especially set up for college students. We can also ac quire the money entirely by ourselves, keeping a part-time job in our spare time and d oing a full-time job in summer and winter holidays. Or we can ask our parents for mo st of the money and earn the rest in our spare time in college.As far as I am concerned, I prefer the last way. I don't want to depend entirely on my parents, which will be a burden to them. Nor do I want to work in my free time for the tuition alone, because I would like to have enough time for my school work. If my pa rents pay most of the tuition for me, I will work part time for the rest and this, I believ e, can make my college life rich and colorfulIntroduction of My CollegeI'm a student at Maebashi Institute of Technology in Gunma. It is located between Ko magata and Shinmaebashi on the JR Ryomo Line. It's only 10 minutes from JR Maeba shi station on a bus or a taxi.Maebit was originally founded in 1952 as a junior college and it evolved into a four-y ear college in 1997. Today there are some 700 students in both the junior college and t he four-year undergraduate school.Our school offers two sets of programs, the day course and the evening course. Studen ts can choose whichever suits their conveniences best from those two courses. Many l essons here are taught in small-sized classes.I'm in the Department of Information Engineering. My field of study is Robotics. T he first period begins at 9:30 a.m., which is rather late, and the last period of the day c ourse ends at 4:55 p.m. The classes for the evening course begin at 5:45 p.m. and end at 8:50 p.m.Maebit's campus is not very large but it has a lot of flowerbeds and plants. On camp us there are the library, the club building, sports fields, the student union hall, the labo ratory building, and many other facilities. Our department building lies in the northwe st corner of campus. This building was built about five years ago, andeverything is still new in this building.There are many clubs, but I'm not a member of any club. One of my friends is a me mber of the Tennis Club in which there are 5 members. They practice every Wednesday and Saturday afternoon. They are hoping to make it into the best 8 in the c oming intercollegiate tournament.I like my college. I have already made some good friends and we're enjoying our scho ol life.Coping with Stress in CollegeCollege life can be very stressful. Sometimes parents, faculty and others tend to ideali ze their college experience and remember it as that idyllic time when they had few wo rries or responsibilities. To students currently attending college, however, the process i s often stressful and frustrating. The competition for grades, the need to perform, relat ionships, career choice, and many other aspects of the college environment cause stres s.But before condemning stress outright, we need to understand that stress is only harmf ul when it is excessive. Much of the stress that we all experience is helpful and stimul ating. The challenges of life tend to be stressful and an attempt to avoid stress complet ely would lead to a rather boring existence. The problem comes when you experience too much stress.There are four primary sources of stress: the environment, (noise, pollution, traffic, cr owding, and the weather), physiology, (illness, injuries, hormonal fluctuations, and in adequate sleep or nutrition), stu dents’ thoughts (negative self-talk, catastrophizing, an d perfectionism), and social stressors (financial problems, work demands, social event s, and losing a loved one). Symptoms of stress appear in many forms. Some symptom s only impact the person who is directly experiencing stress, while other symptoms m ay have an impact on our relationships with others. Although some stress reactions ar e part of deeper and more serious emotional problems, many are not, and can be handl ed with relatively simple counseling and stress-management techniques. Developing a balanced lifestyle, gaining perspective by discussing problems with other students or tutors, specifying relaxation techniques, and clarifying your values and cultivating a s ense of life meaning can help you relieve your stress in college.SportsFrom the earliest times, people have held sports competitions. The athletic few compe te on the field while the rest of us participate from the safety of our seats.Today sports are certainly as popular as ever, and because of radio and television, we can now com pete from a distance.In fact, for important competitions, the whole world becomes one big stadium. It i s hard to say why humans like organized games. The reasons that we enjoy sports pro bably differ from person to person. Whether little kids are kicking a ball around a city playground, or million-dollar-a-year athletes are playing in a modern stadium, the exci tement of competition, motion, discipline, and beauty are in the air. Who doesn’t stop to watch a ball game in the street or a swimmer in a pool? What parents are not proud to see their children carried off the field by thankful fans? For the players, the joys of sportsmanship can include punishing self-discipline and the friendship of teammates. Then there is special thrill that comes only to a lucky few. It is the thrill that comes f rom hearing thousand voices shout your name. But personal victory is only one kind o f victory. In every game someone must lose, but mankind wins every time an athletic r ecord is broken. It is this aspect of sports that brings people together.Even in defeat, no one says to an athlete,So whatYou say,Good try! And when your pride gets hurt and your muscles are sore, you say t o yourself, ―That’s part of the game. I’ll win next time!How to Deal with School PressureCollege can be a very demanding time for students. Professors, class projects, and extr acurricular activities can all contribute to a stressed-out college student. While you wi ll undoubtedly experience stress as a college student, following these tips may help ke ep college stress at a minimum before it becomes too hard to handle.Prioritize your schoolwork. Identify what is most important. If you have a presentatio n to give this Monday, don’t write a one-page review that’s due in a couple of weeks; prepare for the presentation first. Likewise, if you have an assignment that requires a l ot of work, put it at the top of your list. When you prioritize your work, you will be m ore efficient. By becoming more organized, you can reduce your stress level drasticall y.Talk about your problems. Talking about your problems will help ease your tension an d anxiety. Seek a trusted friend or see if your school has a counseling center. Talking t o others will not only help you feel better, but it will also help you find more ways to deal with those problems that are causing your stress.Adopt a positive attitude. If you are always negative, stress will overwhelm you. By l ooking at things in a positive light, you will not only reduce your stress, but you will a lso feel better about yourself. Give yourself pep talks: ―I can do this. I will not stress over this.Take time to relax. To maintain peak performance and reduce your amount of stress, y ou should take time to relax. Performing some sort of physical activity for thirty minu tes three times a week will considerably lower your stress level. Throw a Frisbee with your friends, watch your favorite TV show or enjoy your alone time. Taking the time t o relax will help reduce your stress level.The Need of IronHow do we get more young people to increase their consumption of iron-rich foods? Many nutritionists are advocating the fortification of a number of foods. This may hel p, but I contend that we should also intensify our efforts in nutrition education among our young people. I simply do not buy the argument that it is futile to try to change eat ing habits. Once an intelligent person—and this includes adolescents—understands th e need for a healthy diet, I think he or she will act accordingly. As for specific actions: I suggest that blood hemoglobinshould be checked as a routine part of a youngster’s yearly physical examination. It sh ould contain at least 11grames per 100 milliliters of blood for a girl and at least 12 gra ms for a boy. If it is any lower, the physician probably will prescribe an easily absorbe d iron supplement.Adolescents—and everyone else—should cut out highly processed foods and drinks, which may be low in iron and other nutrients. Read the labels for iron content. Especi ally make sure that all bakery products are made with enriched flour or whole grains. Try adding liver, chicken, beef, veal or any other variety to the weekly menu. Finally , even when you’re trying to lose weight, always eat a sensible, well-balanced diet ma de up of a variety of fresh or very lightly processed foods. This way, you stand a good chance of getting not only enough iron, but also adequate amounts of all the other ess ential nutrients.Title: Students Taking Part-time JobsOutline:1. 有人认为大学生打工好2．有人认为大学生打工不好3．我的看法Some people think that college students should do part-time jobs. They think colleg e students will be members of the society soon, so they need to get a real sense of how the society runs. In this regard part-time jobs may help, because they not only give co llege students different chances to know more about different people, but also prepare them better with various experiences for their future.Other people, however, maintain that part-time jobs do more harm than good to coll ege students. They believe, to a college student, study should always be the only job, which entails a great deal of time and effort, and that taking a part-time job is simply nothing but a distraction. Furthermore, college students are still too young to handle t he complicated society, which may discourage them from doing school work and even lead them astray.In my opinion, college students must learn how to cope with life outside campus by taking some part-time jobs, because they will be members of the society sooner or later. And what they learn through practice in the society can, on the other hand, help t hem to know more about themselves and their school work. Therefore they may decid e how they will learn on campus more efficiently. There is yet another reason why I a pplaud college students for having some part-time jobs. I come from a peasant area in west China. Part-time jobs mean a lot to those students like me: They can improve the ir campus life with the money they get out of the jobs, so that their parents won’t have to worry too much about them. I believe if college students spend their time wisely, t hey will be able to manage well both school work and part-time jobs.Some Tips for Effective Verbal CommunicationVerbal communication plays a significant role in our daily life, especially in mode rn society. Since we get along with other people in every field, we must learn how to c ommunicate effectively. Here are some of the techniques that may contribute to effecti ve verbal communication.First, think about what we are going to tell someone, then speak briefly and clearly in order to make ourselves understood. Second, express ourselves warmly and sincere ly. This can help create a friendly atmosphere for a talk. Third, if we are supposed to b e listeners, we should concentrate on what the speaker says and give positive feedback by nodding or smiling from time to time. And fourth, we canpolitely ask the speaker to repeat what we do not hear or quite understand and this, as you know, can help the communication go on smoothly.When I communicate with others, whether as a speaker or a listener, I always bear in mind the above-mentioned skills. They are very much conducive to effective conve rsations.TITLE：Which one do you like, active class or passive class? Write out your view on th em.EXAMPLE:Active Classes of Passive ClassesAlthough classes often seem alike in appearance, the differences between passive cla sses and active classes are enormous.The passive kind of class usually has a teacher who lectures, puts outlines and terms on the chalkboard and imparts information to the students. For example, my second-y ear biology teacher, rarely looked up from his notebook in which he had carefully wri tten all his lectures. Teachers in a passive classroom simply dictate information and an swers. They pour facts into the students like water into a pot. The students are usually force to sit, listen, take notes, and do only what the teacher requires them to.The other kind of class, the active one, usually has a teacher who stimulates the stude nts to learn for themselves by asking questions, by deliberately posing problems, and most of all by being a student himself, too. Such a teacher might plan the outline of a course, but doesn’t direct the class in only one direction. Students in active classes bec ome more involved in their learning; they ask questions and read books to search for s ome answers themselves, and then discuss what they have found in class. I prefer a ctive classes because learning becomes fun there. Although students may not car muc h about facts in classes, their attitudes toward learning and their excitement in discove ring answers for themselves do no end with the class.TITLE:Now many students use electronic dictionaries. Give us your view on electronic dictionary.EXAMPLE:On Electronic DictionaryElectronic dictionaries are becoming more and more popular among college students because of its small size and multitude of functions. But just as every coin has two si des, electronic dictionaries are no exception. Some students like electronic dictionarie s, because they believe this kind of new dictionary has many advantage. First, compar ed with a traditional dictionary, it’s obviously very handy and convenient. Furthermor e, due to its many functions, it’s also very helpful. It can serve both as an English-Chi nese one. Most important of all, many of them can even teach the learner how to pron ounce a word.But other students think that they still have much to be desired. They point out that t he definitions are very limited. And there are not enough explanations, or examples to illustrate the correct use of a word. In addition, the constant use of this study aid can make people too much dependent on the dictionary and form a passive, lazy attitude t owards learning.In my opinion, the electronic dictionary in itself is neither good nor bad, and its value lies in the way we put it to use. Every student should have a good English dictionary at hand and the electronic one can serve most of our purposes. And one thing we shou ld always keep in mind is that basic language skills do not come from any dictionary b ut from practice. So, an electronic dictionary, just like any traditional ones, is only an effective tool instrumental in helping us to get a good mastery of English.On Students Choosing Lecturers1、有些大学允许学生自由选择某些课程的任课老师。
