【答案解析】[范文]
As is depicted in the picture, a large group of graduates are coming to a fork in the road.[1]A variety of choices, ranging from finding a job, taking part in the entrance exam for postgraduates, going abroad to starting a business of their own[2], lies in front of them. They have to make a choice, which will largely affect their future.
So which direction should graduates take?[3] If they want to make a wise decision, the following factors should be taken into consideration[4] To begin with, graduates are supposed to know the different characteristics of each choice. A good analysis of the advantages and disadvantages of these choices may prepare a favorable start for the future.[5] In addition, they should make a fair evaluation of themselves. This will help them know better about what will be the most suitable for them and bring their potential into full play. Last but not least, as young people, they should hold a practical attitude. Though some people achieved great success in one leap, usually progress is made step by step.[6]
Making a sensible choice before graduation is indeed of primary significance in one's career planning. But this choice does not decide everything once and for all.[7] Flowers and thorns line every road at the same time [8], so graduates must get ready to face the coming new life with more wisdom and courage.
