（09.01.23 NA） Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? Young people should try several different jobs before they take a long term career.

Whether young people should take several different kinds of jobs before they take a career in the long term? As far as I am concerned, though there may be a couple of advantages to take only one kind of job, after a careful comparison, I believe, the advantages of trying different kinds of jobs is more advisable.

It is true that taking one kind of job has its own strengths. This will avoid a lot of time and energy one have to spend on if he or she want to take several different kinds of jobs. For example, if one has just dreamed to be a scientist or artist and has been struggled for it all the time, is it necessary to try another kind of jobs that has little to do with their objects? Definitely not!

Considering more general situations, however, I'd like to argue, the strength of trying various types of jobs outweighs the strength of taking one type of job for the following reasons.

To begin with, people can gain plenty of experiences which will be beneficial to their career choice and career development. For example, I am a university student. During last summer vocation, I have tried several different types of part-time jobs, such as a waiter in an hotel, a tutor for a high middle school student. From these part-time jobs, I've learned many useful work skills to deal with different situation, like how to make an effective communications with my customers, how to defend what I deserve to gain, such as suitable payment, and so on. Also, in the process of trying these jobs, I have acquainted with many new friends. And I believe, in the future career, we are likely to get help from each other and even make an important cooperations.

Secondly, it is only through trying different kind of works, people can figure out what kind of jobs are actually what they are good at or are interested to do. As you know, in modern society, many successful people in their career are not engaging in what they are major in when they are at universities. Why? It is just because they can not figure out what's their true talents and interests when they are still young. So when they tried different kind of jobs, their talents have just been figured out. For example, the pioneer of KFC had just do a lot of jobs like servicing in a military army, different kind of business, all of which are unsuccessful. But when he finally created a new method of cooking chicken, his fortune has come to him. I would like to say, if he could not tried different kind of other jobs which proved they are not what he want to do, there would not been the appearance of KFC.

To conclude, different people have different traits. However, it is always difficult to detect out them. Therefore, isn't it deserved for us to dig them out through various kinds of jobs? Not only will we find "our fate", but also will we appreciate colorful sight of our life.

Do you agree or disagree：Newspapers and magazines are the best way of learning about a foreign country.

In modern times, there are several ways for people to learn about a foreign country, such as through reading newspapers and magazines, traveling , watching TV or movies and so on. As to the question whether newspapers and magazines are the best way of learning about a foreign country, after a careful comparison, I think, newspapers and magazines have a couple of defects in contrast with other methods.

Admittedly, newspapers and magazines have their own strengths. They are cheap to purchase. People need only to pay less than one dollar to buy a piece of newspapers and a couple of dollars for a magazines. More importantly, the contexts are full of useful informations such as object statistical data, vivid photographs and sometimes even a both funny and meaningful cartoon .

However, when making a careful comparison, we may find out their weaknesses are so obvious.

Although newspapers and magazines are cheap to be obtained, how about TV programs and surfing on the Internet. They provide us far more active and numerous information than newspapers and magazines can provide but at the same time costs little from us. From TV news reports, one can know the latest things happened in a foreign country, such as political elections and cultural activities.  And on the Internet, people will have more freedom to know anything that they are interested with great details and vividness. How can newspapers and magazines can be better than them as a methods of learning about a foreign languages?

Besides, travelling, if one can afford the comparatively expensive cost, I believe, may still be one of the candidates for the best way of learning about a foreign country. Having a zero-distance touch with a foreign country, one can know every aspects about it, such as custom, history, economy, politics, etc. Staying in a foreign country, you will have best chances to communicate with local residents and take part in their ordinary activities. And such precious experience will impress you so much that you must learn things about a foreign country far more completely and vividly than you learn from newspapers and magazines.

In sum, newspapers and magazines do not show much advantages compared with other ways of learning about a foreign country as discussed above. From aspect of cost, they can not compete with TV programs and other media. From aspect of interactivity, it can not compete with travelling. Therefore, if I have enough money, traveling will undoubted be my priority for learning about a foreign country.

Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? A job with more vacation time but a low salary is better than a job with a high salary but less vacation time.

As is well known, salary and vacation are two of the most important factors  people consider when they make decisions about their jobs.  If there are two kinds of jobs, one with more vacation but a low salary, the other one in opposite, which one would you choose? As far as I am concerned, a job with a high salary but less vacation time is more realistic and advisable, especially for those young people who are just beginning to develop their career and life.

It is no doubt that a job with more vocation time has its merits. It allows more free time for people to spend with their family members and friends. They can have meals,travel, or just have simple but close and funny chats with their relatives and friends. All of these things can both enhance personal relationships and keep a pleasant mood for them. Besides, the person with such a job will have better opportunity to cultivate their hobbies. They can refire their taste of art, do their favorite sports to improve their physical health, and so on.

However, as a modern people, we are more likely to be driven by realistic pressure from daily life. People have to earn enough money to  pay for their daily expense like meals, water fees, electricity fees and other kind of community services. Their children have to be raised and educated with the help of their salaries ; their older parents have to be taken care of ,especially when a serious disease attacks them. So if one can not earn enough money to afford all of these, it would become meaningless to have sufficient vocation time, no matter the increasingly higher price of housing which has been the biggest problem for general young people in China.

Furthermore, if one want to be successful in their life-long career and make a remarkable contribution to society, a type of tough job with less vacation time will be unavoidable. As an old saying goes, a piece of true gold can never be easily available. If one wants to make something remarkable, he has to make far more efforts than others; he has to be better equipped with their expert knowledges and skills. Take me for an example, as a students who has decided to study abroad, I am spending the whole summer vocation on preparing for the TOEFL test. Although it is not a kind of job, but what I really mean is that it is necessary for one to endure something tough in order to get a well-paid result.

To sum up, it is difficult, sometimes, for us to make a choice when we both consider about high salary and more vacation time. However, in the light of current economic trend and our personal pursuits, a job with high salary and less vacation time will makes an regretless choice for us.
