【正确答案】[参考范文]
Which is Better for Graduates — to Start Their Own Business or Get Employed?
[1]As is shown in the picture, to [2] get a job from a company is no longer the only way for graduates to take，since the possibility of[3]starting their own businesses provides a wider range of choice. [4] Accordingly, whether it is good for students to begin an undertaking immediately after leaving school has caused enormous discussions, [5] Some hold that it would be better for students to work for others after they graduate, [5] while others think that establishing business of their own would benefit the graduates more.
Those who maintain the former standpoint may argue that [2] getting employed has less risk. and thus creating a more stable environment for the graduates to develop. What’s more, they insist that students who have just left school are [6] so idealized and inexperienced [6] that if they [3] set up their own business they would probably gain nothing but failure. Those who hold the latter viewpoint base their theory primarily on the fact [7] that [3] running a business of one s own provides more opportunities although it is more challenging. They argue resolutely that [3] working for oneself has more freedom, which allows people to [8] tap their potential to the full.
[9] Weighing up the matter in my mind, I think graduates should work in a company for some time to gain experience before starting up their own business. [10] After all, running a business is not an easy task and blindly following one’s dream is not a wise practice.

【答案解析】[思路点拨] 本题两幅图反映的是“就业”与“创业”这一主题。第一幅图片暗指在过去，学生离开学校后只有“就业”这一条路可以选择；而第二幅图片则表明在现在，学生毕业后不仅可以选择去企业工作，还可以选择自己创业。这一变化引起了不少的争论，有的人认为“就业”对刚毕业的学生来说更好，而另一些人则认为自主创业会带来更大的发展。
按照对比选择型作文的行文思路，本文可作如下布局：第一段首先描述图画，然后通过图画归纳出文章的主题并指出两种相对立的观点：有的人认为“就业”好，另一些人则认为“创业”更好；第二段阐释两种观点各自的原因；第三段表达自己对“就业好”还是“创业好”的看法。
