第三類：文化教育類(或學生話題)

 　　注：2013年1月5日考研英語，竟然出了一個簡單到令人發指的"大學生兼職工作情況"的文章!這樣的話題是老四六級常考的啊親有么有!這次命題，給我們打開了全新的視野：英語二的寫作命題也變得撲朔迷離，話題更加開放!更加接地氣!更加不要指望押題!誰知道今年會不會出個"咱們結婚吧"(社會學上"初婚年齡"持續走高)這樣的話題呢?!

　　Topic 7：大學生就業選擇，國企與民營

　　注：此話題，貌似涉及"職場職業類"，但是畢竟事關大學生，所以也就選錄了進來。個人覺得，大學生就業和職業選擇這樣的話題，你還是需要背一篇的哈!

　　The two pie charts given above reflect the changes of employment of university graduates. From 1992 to 2002, the proportion of graduates going to graduate school and joit-venture remained unchanged at 25%. The proportion of graduates who intended to join state-owned firms increased markedly from 50% to 20%. However,the percentage of graduates with intention of entering private firm increased dramatically from 20% to 50%.

　　We learn from the pie charts that more graduates tend to choose private firms while less of them would like to work for state-owned firms after graduation. What might account for this phenomenon? Possible reasons can be listed as follows: for one thing, quite a few graduates have come to realize that, compared with state-owned firms, private firms can provide them with higher salaries. Moreover, private firms are famous for scientifc management and fair competition, they can enjoy more experience and opportunities. Last but not least, some graduates hold that private firms surpass state-owned firms in working conditions, career promotion and interpersonal relationships.

　　Graduates do have rights to choose their ideal firms. However, they should also bear in mind that what kind of firms will not determine how successful they will be. It is their abilities, attitudes and diligence that determine how far they can go. (211words)

　　這兩幅餅狀圖反應了大學畢業生就業的變化。從1992年到2000年，畢業后讀研和加入合資企業的畢業生的比例維持在25%不變。畢業后想加入國有企業的學生的比例快速地從50%下降到20%。然而，畢業后想去外企的學生的比例從20%迅速增加到了50%。

　　我們從餅狀圖中得知，越來越多的畢業生在畢業后選擇私企而越來越少的學生愿意到國有企業工作。如何解釋這個現象?可能的理由可以羅列如下：首先，相當多的畢業生逐漸知道，與國營企業相比，私企能夠為他們提供更豐厚的薪水。其次，私營企業以科學的管理和公平的競爭而聞名，他們似乎可以在私營企業里獲得更多的鍛煉和機會。最后，有些人認為，在工作環境、職場晉升和人際關系方面，私企也勝過國企。

　　畢業生確實有選擇自己理想的公司的權利。然而，他們也應該牢記在心，什么樣類型的公司不能決定他們會如何成功。倒是他們的能力、態度和勤奮會決定他們能夠走多遠。

　　Topic 8：電子書與紙質書

　　注：網絡、科技類的文章，在英語(二)寫作考察中，一片藍海!一片處女地!一篇也民營考察;要知道，四六級，以及英語(一)可對此話題興趣盎然啊!所以特選錄了此篇。當然，考生是否也可以準備另外一個同類話題：在線教育(online education)。2013年整年，除了"小伙伴"、"土豪"等火了之外，在線教育可也是熱門話題啊。除此外，什么"自媒體"、"微營銷"啊也都火的一塌糊涂!

　　The bar chart given above reflects that the number of readers choosing paper book or electronic books experienced some changes during the past four years. The number of paper book readers decreased slowly from 10 million in 2010 to 8 million in 2013. However, during the same period, the number of electronic book readers increased steadily from 8 millionto 12 million.

　　We learn from the bar chart that people in mounting numbers would like to choose electronic books while less people like paper books. What might account for this phenomenon? Reasons can be listed as follows: for one thing, with the widespread availability of electronic devices such as smartphones，tablet PC and Electronic Reader，it is much easier for electronic books to be applied and popularized among the masses. Secondly, compared with paper books, electronic books are characterized by convenience in terms of carrying and saving spaces. Furthermore, the costs of purchasing and downloading electronic books are lower that of paper books, which enables readers to save a great deal of money. Last but not least, electronic books sometimes stand for high fashion and efficiency.

　　Whether electronic books will totally replace paper books one day still seems to be uncertain. However, no matterwhat kind of books will vanish, the habit of reading books should not beeliminated. (218 words)

　　這幅所給的柱狀圖反應了紙質圖書和電子版圖書的閱讀者的數量在過去的四年發生了一些變化。紙質書籍的讀者的數量從2010年的1000萬緩慢下降到2013年的800萬。而相反的是，電子書讀者的數量從800萬穩定增加到1200萬。

　　我們從這幅柱狀圖中得知，越來越多的人愿意選擇電子書而越來越少得人喜歡紙質書。有什么可以解釋這個現象?理由可以羅列如下：首先，隨著諸如智能手機、平板電腦、電子閱讀身背這樣的電子產品的廣泛普及，電子書的使用和傳播變得相對容易。其次，相比紙質書而言，電子書的攜帶更加方便，也更加節省空間。再者，購買或下載電子書的成本比購買書籍要低得多，這可以為讀者省下一大筆錢。最后，電子書似乎也是一種時尚和高效的象征。

　　是否電子書會在某天徹底取代紙質書不得而知。然而，不管哪種書會消失，閱讀的習慣是不能消失的。

　　Topic 9：城里的月光，初婚年齡持續走高!

　　注：結婚話題來一個。今年的電視劇《咱們結婚吧》火了;相親節目一茬接一茬也不亦樂乎不是嘛!

　　From the bar chart given above, we can oberve that the average age of first marriagein a big city in China experienced some changes during the past several years. It increased rapidly form 22.66 years old in 1980 to 27.02 years old in 2000.

　　We learn from the bar chart that more and more people are older when they get married. Many reasons can account for this phenomenon, and the followings might be the most critical ones: for one thing, it is universally acknowledged that marriage means promise and obligation,sometimes it can even be a heavy burden. However, people today prefer freedom and enjoyment, they wish they could have more time to enjoy life and explore the beauties in life, getting married at an older age seems to be a good way to avoid responsibility and restriction. Moreover, with the pace of modern life quickening, people are under enormous pressures and the cost of marriage are becoming higher. Some intend to get married, but, stereotypically speaking, how could they do it without house, car, a stable profession and salary?

　　The change of the average age of first marriage indicates the change in the mode of modern life and social structure. However, no matter how old people are when they get married, they should always bear in mind that marriage means responsibility, tolerance and devotion. (210words)

　　根據如上所給的柱狀圖，我們發現中國某城市的首次結婚的平均年齡在過去幾年發生了一些變化。從1980年的22.6歲急劇增加到了2000年的27.02歲。

　　我們從這幅柱狀圖得知，越來越多的人結婚的年紀變晚了。很多理由可以解釋這個現象，以下這些也許是最為重要的。首先，結婚意味著承諾和責任，甚至是沉重的負擔，而現在的年輕人更加崇尚自由和享樂的生活，他們希望在結婚之前，有更多的時間輕松地享受生活和探索生活中的美好的事物, 晚婚似乎是一個不錯的逃避責任和束縛的好辦法。其次，隨著現代生活節奏的加快，人們的壓力越來越大，結婚的成本也越來越高. 很多年輕人想結婚，但是從世俗的觀點來看，一成年人如果沒有車子、房子、穩定的工作和收入，怎么結得了婚呢?

　　首次結婚的平均年齡的變化反映了現代生活模式和社會結構的變化。然而，不管人們結婚多晚，他們都應該牢記在心，那就是，婚姻意味著責任，包容和付出。
