預測範文
As is symbolically illustrated in the cartoon, wearing a blue T-shirt and black trousers, a young boy with yellow hair is holding a mobile phone and talking to his beloved mother sitting on a sofa and reading a book. Undoubtedly,the cell phone serves as a symbol of Internet, both connecting people and isolating them from each other.
The metaphorical and impressive portrayal has subtly revealed the duality of the relationship between man and mobile phone. On the one hand, there is no denying that cell phone is currently one of the most efficient media used for interpersonal communication. But on the other hand, a good many people admit that they are too much addicted to digital products to maintain face-to-face contact with their friends and colleagues.
Hence, it is necessary for us to use mobile phones in a reasonable way and restrain from over indulgence.After all, digital product is invented to connect you and me, and to bring conveniences to our life rather than set a barrier to keep people beyond reach.
參考譯文
這幅漫畫象徵性地闡釋了一個黃頭髮的小男孩穿著藍T恤和黑褲子,拿著手機正在和他坐在沙發上讀書的媽媽聊天。毫無疑問,這部手機作為網際網路的一種象徵,既連接了人們,又使他們彼此隔離。
這幅比喻並使人印象深刻的圖畫象徵性揭示了人與手機之間的雙重關係。一方面,不可否認手機目前是用於人際交流的最高效媒介之一。但另一方面,很多人承認他們太沉迷於數碼產品而不願與朋友和同事保持面對面接觸。
因此,我們很有必要以一種合理的方式使用手機,避免過度沉迷。畢竟,人們發明手機是為了連接你和我,為我們的生活帶來方便,而非設置障礙使人彼此疏遠。

Unfortunately, it seems rather ironic to present people separated from each other by the mobile phones when they attempt to communicate.然而,看來相當諷刺的地方是,這幅圖呈現了他們在試圖互相交流的同時,卻被手機彼此隔開。As a college student, I get on line every day to discuss news with other people on Microblog, to study English by registering for web courses, to chat freely through WeChat with my friends.作為一名大學生,我每天上網與他人在微博上討論新聞,通過註冊網絡課程來學習英語,藉助微信和我的朋友們免費聊天。Once indulged in the fictitious world, people feel reluctant to approach others and to concentrate on real life.一旦沉迷於這種虛幻世界,人們不願接近他人並關注現實生活。Directions: Write an essay based on the following chart. In your writing, you should first interpret the chart, and then give your comments. You should write about 120 words but no more than 180 matchwords.The column chart above reflects what the college graduates plan to do after graduation. As can be seen from the diagram, 35.20% of graduates plan to take the test for civil servants, and 31.90% of them plan to take the test for graduate students, both accounting for approximately a third of total.
When making this decision, students should consider a variety of factors, including their career plans and financial status. The first factor that undergraduate students should consider when deciding between postgraduate studies and work is their intended career. Students should do the necessary research to find out whether, and to what extent, job prospects for their intended line of work would improve with a postgraduate education. What is more, scholarships, bursaries and loans may be available to some students, and these should also be taken into consideration when assessing one’s ability to bear the costs of graduate studies.
Generally speaking, by taking career goals and financial status into consideration, students can improve their chances of making an optimal choice.
參考譯文
上述柱狀圖揭示了大學畢業生畢業之後打算做什麼。如圖表所示,35.20%的畢業生計劃考公務員,31.90%的畢業生計劃考研或考博,都佔了總數大約三分之一。
在做決定的時候,學生應該考慮很多因素,包括職業計劃及經濟狀況。大學生在考慮讀研還是工作時,第一個要考慮的就是自己期望的職業。大學生應該詳細調查一下研究生學歷能否及能在多大程度上有助於自己預期行業的職業發展。其次,有些學生可以申請獎學金、助學金以及貸款,在衡量自己是否有能力支付學費時,這些也可以考慮進去。
大學生綜合考慮職業目標和經濟狀況,就更有可能做出最優選擇。

Provided the obsession to obtain a graduate degree is done for the right reasons it will prove beneficial to the student.只要學生想獲得學位的目的單純,那考研對它們來說就是有益的。
Many employers do require job applicants to have academic degrees which can help the candidates as long as they are relevant to the position.很多僱主要求應聘者擁有跟工作職位相關的學位。
As long as the graduate mania results in a student getting a degree compatible with their future career plans, the time is well spent.只要考研熱能使學生把研究生期間所學的專業和將來的職業規劃掛起鉤來,那攻讀碩士的時光就沒有虛度。
