話題分析

本題屬于教育類話題最常見的分支“教育的功能”，考生一般都會有所準備，故難度較小。而且本題屬于雙邊討論題型，單邊雙邊都可以使用，不容易偏題。

類似話題

1. Some employers think that formal academic qualifications are more important than life experiences and personal qualities when they look for an employee. Why is it the case? Is it a positive or negative development? (071013)

2. In some countries, secondary school aim to provide a general education across a range of subjects. In others, children focus on a narrow range of subjects related to a particular career. For today’s world, which system is appropriate? (041218, 070707)

結(jié)構(gòu)思路

根據(jù)觀點的不同，本題有兩種寫法：

1、雙邊支持。分析兩種觀點各自的好處，最后給出折中方案。

2、單邊支持。正文第一段駁斥第二方的觀點（盡快離校參加工作），正文第二段（或五段式中的第二三段）支持第一方的觀點（大學(xué)促進就業(yè)上的好處）。

個人傾向于第二種寫法。

參考論點：

1、 駁斥盡快離校參加工作：

Admittedly, leaving school earlier can help graduates adapt to the fast-changing society quickly. However, as our society has raised higher requirements for knowledge, those secondary school leavers have very little competitive edge over college graduates. As a consequence, the jobs they can secure are confined to low-paid unskilled manual labour.

2、 大學(xué)在促進就業(yè)上的好處：

a. 大學(xué)階段所學(xué)到的theoretical knowledge and practical skills可以幫助用人單位cut down on the costs on staff training, 因此更容易被錄用。

b. 學(xué)生在大學(xué)里可以學(xué)會各種在社會上學(xué)不到的技能，比如critical thinking, independent thinking, cooperation and compromise, team spirit. 這些品質(zhì)對現(xiàn)代企業(yè)的發(fā)展是非常有價值的。

c. 接受過高等教育的學(xué)生往往有更高的moral standard和legal consciousness，都是law-abiding citizens，自然更受雇主的垂青。
