第三类：文化教育类(或学生话题)

 　　注：2013年1月5日考研英语，竟然出了一个简单到令人发指的"大学生兼职工作情况"的文章!这样的话题是老四六级常考的啊亲有么有!这次命题，给我们打开了全新的视野：英语二的写作命题也变得扑朔迷离，话题更加开放!更加接地气!更加不要指望押题!谁知道今年会不会出个"咱们结婚吧"(社会学上"初婚年龄"持续走高)这样的话题呢?!

　　Topic 7：大学生就业选择，国企与民营

　　注：此话题，貌似涉及"职场职业类"，但是毕竟事关大学生，所以也就选录了进来。个人觉得，大学生就业和职业选择这样的话题，你还是需要背一篇的哈!

　　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)

　　这两幅饼状图反应了大学毕业生就业的变化。从1992年到2000年，毕业后读研和加入合资企业的毕业生的比例维持在25%不变。毕业后想加入国有企业的学生的比例快速地从50%下降到20%。然而，毕业后想去外企的学生的比例从20%迅速增加到了50%。

　　我们从饼状图中得知，越来越多的毕业生在毕业后选择私企而越来越少的学生愿意到国有企业工作。如何解释这个现象?可能的理由可以罗列如下：首先，相当多的毕业生逐渐知道，与国营企业相比，私企能够为他们提供更丰厚的薪水。其次，私营企业以科学的管理和公平的竞争而闻名，他们似乎可以在私营企业里获得更多的锻炼和机会。最后，有些人认为，在工作环境、职场晋升和人际关系方面，私企也胜过国企。

　　毕业生确实有选择自己理想的公司的权利。然而，他们也应该牢记在心，什么样类型的公司不能决定他们会如何成功。倒是他们的能力、态度和勤奋会决定他们能够走多远。

　　Topic 8：电子书与纸质书

　　注：网络、科技类的文章，在英语(二)写作考察中，一片蓝海!一片处女地!一篇也民营考察;要知道，四六级，以及英语(一)可对此话题兴趣盎然啊!所以特选录了此篇。当然，考生是否也可以准备另外一个同类话题：在线教育(online education)。2013年整年，除了"小伙伴"、"土豪"等火了之外，在线教育可也是热门话题啊。除此外，什么"自媒体"、"微营销"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)

　　这幅所给的柱状图反应了纸质图书和电子版图书的阅读者的数量在过去的四年发生了一些变化。纸质书籍的读者的数量从2010年的1000万缓慢下降到2013年的800万。而相反的是，电子书读者的数量从800万稳定增加到1200万。

　　我们从这幅柱状图中得知，越来越多的人愿意选择电子书而越来越少得人喜欢纸质书。有什么可以解释这个现象?理由可以罗列如下：首先，随着诸如智能手机、平板电脑、电子阅读身背这样的电子产品的广泛普及，电子书的使用和传播变得相对容易。其次，相比纸质书而言，电子书的携带更加方便，也更加节省空间。再者，购买或下载电子书的成本比购买书籍要低得多，这可以为读者省下一大笔钱。最后，电子书似乎也是一种时尚和高效的象征。

　　是否电子书会在某天彻底取代纸质书不得而知。然而，不管哪种书会消失，阅读的习惯是不能消失的。

　　Topic 9：城里的月光，初婚年龄持续走高!

　　注：结婚话题来一个。今年的电视剧《咱们结婚吧》火了;相亲节目一茬接一茬也不亦乐乎不是嘛!

　　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)

　　根据如上所给的柱状图，我们发现中国某城市的首次结婚的平均年龄在过去几年发生了一些变化。从1980年的22.6岁急剧增加到了2000年的27.02岁。

　　我们从这幅柱状图得知，越来越多的人结婚的年纪变晚了。很多理由可以解释这个现象，以下这些也许是最为重要的。首先，结婚意味着承诺和责任，甚至是沉重的负担，而现在的年轻人更加崇尚自由和享乐的生活，他们希望在结婚之前，有更多的时间轻松地享受生活和探索生活中的美好的事物, 晚婚似乎是一个不错的逃避责任和束缚的好办法。其次，随着现代生活节奏的加快，人们的压力越来越大，结婚的成本也越来越高. 很多年轻人想结婚，但是从世俗的观点来看，一成年人如果没有车子、房子、稳定的工作和收入，怎么结得了婚呢?

　　首次结婚的平均年龄的变化反映了现代生活模式和社会结构的变化。然而，不管人们结婚多晚，他们都应该牢记在心，那就是，婚姻意味着责任，包容和付出。
