Nowadays, a popular trend of on-the-job people returning to university has aroused peoples
10、concern. Some return to university with the aim of escaping from reality, while others desire for self-improvement. From my perspective, I firmly agree with the latter. Firstly, people should return to university to gain special skills that are more career-oriented. Having been on the job for many y
11、ears, they know better which professional skill they are deficient in. Whats more, the diploma and advanced knowledge they get will contribute to pay rise, promotion and new employment. Additionally, they can make acquaintance with more elites. Students of great insight can learn from each other and
12、 optimize their resources available. Those who return to university to escape the pressures of work and life should face reality for reasons below. First, it is a waste of time and money to stay on campus without concrete goals. If they devote themselves to their jobs, they will gain greater achieve
13、ments. Moreover, they are likely to miss opportunities of promotion or work training. In addition, since they will have to confront pressure again in the near future, it is useless and even risky to consider the university as an ivory tower. In view of the discussions above, on-the-job people should

16、gers and hosts become the second identities of many students, who are entitled to special consideration in their studies. They can pass examinations with much lower scores. So some people say that it is not right to allow privileged students on campus. However, I dont agree with them. There are many
17、 reasons why I hold a different opinion, and I would explore only a few here. The main reason why I agree with “special privileges should be enjoyed by some students“ is that it is more difficult for students to be versatile in a highly competitive world, and that exam scores no longer play a key ro
18、le in evaluating the achievement of a college student. So schools shouldnt ask students to be good at both their studies and extra-curricular activities. Furthermore, a persons time and energy are limited. For example, when student athletes are exhausted by their daily exercises, there will be littl
19、e energy left for them to study. So the special consideration for them will help these students concentrate on their specialty.

Chine
21、se students have to choose a major when applying for a university and most of them have no opportunity to change that decision. Many people, however, begin to question whether it is the best practice. I would argue that students should be allowed at least a year to find a major they are really fond
22、of. For one thing, high school students have little knowledge of majors at university, since they only learn fundamental knowledge of basic subjects. They may choose astronautics just because of the Shenzhou VII, only to find that the basic skills involved in this major are just what they are not go
23、od at. If they are allowed to make that decision in the second year at university, they can get more advice from professors and those juniors and seniors. For another, high school students may be largely swayed by their parents, who tend to choose those so-called lucrative majors in the hope that th

27、, and there has been a heated argument about whether they should have higher salaries. Some people are for it; however, others are against it. As for me, I think we should view this problem rationally. Salaries for college graduates depend on many factors, and the main factors come from themselves.
28、First of all, most graduates dont master the professional skills. Their focus of attention at university was on passing various exams. Still, others are obsessed with surfing the Internet and seldom attend regular classes. Anyway, being unskilled in their speciality is the most important factor infl
29、uencing their salaries. Secondly, many students overestimate themselves. Some college graduates think that they are superior to others and they always prefer higher salaries. But the fact is that they learn a lot of theoretical knowledge which they cannot apply well into practice. Finally, the varie
30、ty and limitation in majors have an effect on salaries. Different fields promise different levels of salary in a short term. In conclusion, three main factors influence college graduates salaries, including professional skills, self-evaluation and majors, hence college graduates should treat their salaries much more rationally. 【试题解析】 开头部分 本文首先提出问题，阐述两种对立的观点，之后表明自己的观点：大学毕业生的薪水由很多影响因素决定，尤其是自身的因素，要理性对待。 中间部分 运用 First of all,Secondly, 和 Finally, 从三个方面阐述学生自身的主要因素，包括专业技能方面、自我评估方面及专业的不同。并对每一方面进行了具体阐述。论证充分，合情合理。 结尾部分 总结影响大学毕业生薪水的三个主要因素，并且呼吁大学生理性对待薪水问题。 【知识模块】 作文
