问题     It is reported that graduates are facing great difficulties in finding a job this year. Some people suggest that, against this backdrop, college graduates should lower their expectations and choose a job that may seem menial, such as a job as a construction worker, so as to make a living. However, some think college graduates deserve a job that can match the higher education they have received. Should graduates lower their expectations? Read carefully the opinions from both sides and write your response in about 200 words, in which you should first summarize briefly the opinions from both sides and then give your view on the issue.

    Yes:
    Take constructing a building as an example. The final erection of a building is the fruit of many processes, from designing to constructing. If someone insists that the job of an architect is more important than that of a construction worker, he simply neglects the fact that without construction workers, what we’ll see is nothing but a draft on the paper.
    In addition, every job requires some specialist knowledge. Some students, especially those from prestigious universities, think highly of themselves, and believe they are born to change the world. Thus, in the course of job-hunting, these students only focus on jobs that match their high education, but overlook the basic skills that they ought to master.
    No:
    Education is a kind of investment. Huge investments call for large returns, which is in line with the market rules. In this sense, college graduates should find jobs that are in accordance with their majors and qualifications.
    Moreover, physical jobs are more suitable for people with lower levels of education. College graduates with higher education should not enter this working field since it would raise the competition and threshold of the industry. If a college student doesn’t choose a suitable job, there is no doubt that he won’t be able to achieve self-fulfillment and with the passing of time, he may lose confidence in his career and life.

答案 My Viewpoint on College Students’ Job Hunting Confronted with great difficulties in finding a job, many college students can only find ordinary jobs, or menial jobs, such as a job as a construction worker. Some people think it’s fine for college graduates to take these jobs since every job requires some specialist knowledge, while others do not think it is a good idea. In my opinion, it is perfectly all right for college graduates to choose any kind of job. They should break the stereotype about choosing jobs. The best option for them is to "love the job I do", rather than "do the job T love". In the first place, most people believe that jobs relying on mental work are superior to those calling for physical labor, so the latter is more menial. The point that has to be made clear is that mental work and physical work are just two kinds of jobs done in different manners. It does not make any sense to assume that one is better than the other. In the second place, it is important to learn to be flexible in choosing jobs when there is increasing fierce competition in the job market. Everyone can do more than one kind of jobs, so why hold on to those limited options only? College graduates should not confine themselves to jobs that are most suitable or most interesting; instead, they should look for more opportunities by plucking up their courage to try something else which may give them a surprise. To put it in a nutshell, when looking for a job, college graduates have to bear in mind that every job can make a great man, so say goodbye to the era of doing jobs you love and be ready to love any job you do.
