Do you plan
4、to take the entrance examination for postgraduate study, or to find a job? It is a choice that almost all university graduates have to face nowadays. After careful consideration, I believe that pursuing postgraduate study is more suitable for me. First and foremost, pursuing postgraduate study can a
5、llow me to learn more knowledge. I am always fascinated by things that I do not know, and dream to be a learned person. If I stay at university for three more years, I certainly can know more about English, especially about English literature. Whats more, postgraduate study will not only expand my k
6、nowledge scope, but also enhance the knowledge quality. Undergraduate students spend most time learning facts, but postgraduate students will learn about understanding, evaluating, and criticizing. Therefore, after postgraduate study, I will be better at research work and judging different opinions.

In such a situation, well-paid jobs are virtually impossible for an undergraduate. If I finish my postgraduate study, I will be able to compete with better quali
9、fications, and I will certainly hold more chances to get a better job. The third reason, which I would hesitate to admit, is that I dont think I am ready for the society. Although I am already an adult, my four years of adult life is spent entirely on campus, which is little similar to the real soci
10、ety. I am afraid that if I started working now, I would not be able to handle the complex situations in the society well. I suppose that if I can go on studying, I can try to understand and experiment with the society in the next three years. I believe I will cope with the society well by the end of
11、 the three years. In a word, to acquire more knowledge, to get a better job, and to prepare myself better for the society are the three major reasons why I choose to go on studying. I know postgraduate study may be challenging, but I expect that when I finish it, I will achieve these three targets,

Whatever you do, as long as you are cooperative, the achievement will be much greater than what you have made with your own effort. For example, if a
15、construction project is totally left in the hands of a single person, some irreparable damage may come into being because his planning is inevitably short of perfection.

18、importance of cooperation if he expects to make himself and his team more competitive. Take a basketball game for example.
