136"The absence of choice is a circumstance that is very, very rare."
The speaker asserts that the absence of choice is a circumstance that is very, very rare. I totally agree with the speaker's assertion because there are many choices for us to choose today. But many people complain that they have no choice, from my point of view, it is because they don't have wonderful choices they favor but have the ordinary ones they dislike. [开头提出观点很明确。]
Nowadays, we actually have a lot of choices when we make a decision. For example, when you go to the supermarket and want to buy a bottle of cola, you can just find many brands displayed in the counter, such as Pepsi Cola, Coca Cola and countless others. You can choose any of those just due to your flavor. Another example is in the job market, many students who have graduate from the colleges or universities always complain that the jobs offered to them are in a small amount. Is that true? From my point of view, the jobs are in a large number, but why are there so many graduates who cannot find jobs? This is because they hold the opinion that they should find a comfortable job with a high salary and a good position. As a result, it is so difficult for many students to find the dream jobs. At the same time, many companies who need employees have the vacant positions. [就业结构上的问题。] That is to say, the actual circumstance is not the absence but they don't make choices.
Markedly, the reason why people have so many choices is that the diversity of today's world. In this era of rapid social and technological changes leading to life complexity and psychological displacement, the society offers us a myriad of choices. For example, the new technology generates a quantity of jobs for many students and workers. The Internet needs many students who master the skills to manage the servers or the corporations; the genetic skills need many farm workers to plant the new kinds of crops or fruit on their farmland. [还可以再进一步说,每个行业里面对于人材也有各种不同的需要。] So the society truly offers us a lot of choices to choose whatever we want.
However, the consequence of choice creates competition. Without a doubt, when you make a choice, the goods or opportunities go to you, but other goods are left for others to choose. For example, when you want to buy sports shoes, Nike, Reebok and other brands are displayed for you. You should make a choice among them. With respect to the price and the quality, you finally choose the one fit to you. So, the companies, which are in the same areas and offer similar goods and service, may improve their products in order to attract more customers and gain more profits. This really generates competition, the result of which gives the consumers more choices. [觉得这里段落结尾处可以再点题一下,说“选择实际上很多”。]
In sum, the absence of choice is a circumstance that is really rare when you have a whole perspective of all the choices. However, if you just pay attention to the choices you favor, you may complain that you have no choice. It is the diversity of today's world that creates so many choices which generate competition resulting in bringing more choices offered to people.
觉得可以把“选择实际上很多”与“人们感觉选择很少”之间的原因、关系重点论述下,甚至单独成一段。 |
