英特網對我們的日常生活帶來很大的影響。這句話我們可以寫出不同的搭配。比如:
一、并列結構的使用
通過對官方范文的研究發現,考生在用并列結構提高句型檔次的時候可以從以下幾個層面入手:
1.名詞并列: n1,n2,n3,…
這種并列又可以具體通過以下2種結構實現: a).A,B,C,… and other Xs b).X,such Y as A,B,C,…
i.Reading,writing,listening and other academic subjects could be learned from books,or primarily from books.ii.Some knowledge,such academic subjects as reading,writing,listening,could be learned from books,or primarily from books.iii.It is of great importance for people to read imaginative literature,such as poetry,novels or mythology.iv.It is of great importance for people to read novels and other types of imaginative literature such as poetry and mythology.2.名詞性成分并列: n.+ what/how/whether/if… 這種并列又可以具體通過以下2種結構實現: a).what=something that b).how=the way/manner in which i.Most parents educate their children merely by instinct rather than proper pedagogy,and usually do not care about their relationship with children and how much neglect influences the future development of their children.ii.Most students are eager to obtain knowledge,but they lack the sense of what is good,or what is necessary and how much a deficiency in the concept of viewing the situation as a whole would mislead them.iii.My fellow Americans,ask not what your country can do for you,ask what you can do for your country.My fellow citizen of the world,ask not what American will do for you,but what together we can do for the freedom of man.(John Kennedy)3.形容詞成分并列: a).a1 and a2+n b).a1+yet/but+a2+n c).a1,a2+n+that…
d).a1,a2,so a3 that/as to…
i.a small town à a small and peaceful town a good teacher à a good and very impressive teacher a stupid decision à a stupid and incorrigible decision ii.a simple yet effective method a direct and simple yet magically effective method an irrational yet understandable decision a fair and balance,yet undesirable decision an obvious yet not the most significant reason iii.Most students can hardly stand for his typically dry and dull lectures that would normally continue at least several quarters without giving any essential information.iv.The impact that technology has had on our daily life and society in general,is undeniable.It will become even greater as computers get faster,smaller,smarter,and so inexpensive that virtually everyone will be able to own one.v.A class led by a lethargic teacher could be extremely dull,and so boring that drives everybody in the class into sleep.vi.Learning in essence is a process that is time-consuming,painstaking,and so hard that virtually only persistent few can finally have a sense of real achievement.4.副詞成分并列: a).ad1 and ad2+n b).ad1+yet/but+ad2+n c).ad1,ad2+prep…
d).ad1,ad2,so ad3 that/as to…
i.A conscientious teacher always prepares his lecture carefully,intelligently,and with the full consideration of all possible aspects concerning the subject.ii.Apart from energizing the athletes, physical strength helps them plough into the games enthusiastically and with confidence and even act as a deterrent force to their rivals to some extent.5.動詞并列: a).…v1,v2+ing,v3+ing… b).s1+v1+ing,s2+v2…
i.An absent-minded teacher lacks drive to make class intensely focused,often preparing nothing in advance,wandering among random topics,thus wasting and killing times of industrial students.ii.As a result of this, food dealers have made huge profit from it, thereby promoting the sector as well as creating more jobs.6.句子并列: a).…, and therefore/thus/consequently b).not only/simply/merely…but also/…as well/even… c).neither…nor d).not that…but that… e).that引導的賓語從句 f).that引導的定語從句 g).that引導的主語從句
i.Books keep records of thoughts and ideas, and are therefore the major source from which people obtain knowledge.ii.Chinese children unfortunately have few rights to make their own decisions, and consequently often have to do things that they do not enjoy doing at all.iii.Modern vehicles have extended the range of people’s activity, and thus made much more goods available to local markets.iv.Computers have not only brought convenience, but they have also made people learn more.v.Not that emails or telephones have made people less personal, but that people themselves have become less personal.One of several possible reasons is that people usually lack of adequate communicating skills.vi.However, sports salaries are not determined by considering the contribution to society a person makes, or the level of responsibility he or she holds.二、從句的使用
從句的使用是提高寫作得分最有效的一種手段,雅思寫作中主要涉及的從句主要是名詞性從句,狀語從句和定語從句,朗閣海外考試研究中心建議考生既可以單獨使用這些從句來組織句子,還可以采用從句套從句的方式來提高句型的復雜度。7.從句套從句: i.Those who feel that sports stars salaries are justified might argue that the number of professionals with real talent is very few, and the money is the recognition of the skills and dedication a person needs to be successful.賓語從句+定語從句+表語從句
ii.This has been driven by technological and scientific breakthroughs that are changing the whole way we view the world on an almost daily basis.定語從句+狀語從句
iii.The reasons for this trend may involve the recognition that a young adult who passes directly from school to university is rather restricted in terms of general knowledge and experience of the world.賓語從句+定語從句
iv.But overall, I think that this is less likely today, when academic qualifications are essential for getting a reasonable career.賓語從句+非限制性定語從句 v.Unfortunately, it is not always the case that new things are promoted because they have good impacts for the majority of people.名詞性從句+狀語從句
三、倒裝句的使用
倒裝句的使用主要包括否定詞位于句首時的倒裝,比較句中第2個句子的倒裝和虛擬語氣條件句中的倒裝。
i.Not only should the parent spent more time with their children, they should also try to communicate with their children more often.ii.Only in this way can this issue be effectively solved.iii.Nor a bad environment will make people healthier.iv.Only in very few regions do the residents have enough water for their daily needs.第一,定語從句。
這應該算是寫作中最常用的一種句型之一。適當地運用定語從句可以給你的文章增色不少。例如,下面的這兩個句子用上定語從句馬上就變成了一個漂亮的復雜句。Bad books contain evil much description
thoughts.In them, there might be , and sex.about violence, superstition
→ Bad books, in which there might be much description about violence, superstition, and sex, contain evil thoughts.第二,狀語從句。
在寫作當中運用的最多的是以下五種狀語從句,即原因狀語從句,讓步狀語從句,條件狀語從句,時間狀語從句和目的狀語從句。
1.原因狀語從句:常由because, as, since和for引導 Eg: Nonetheless demerits.盡管如此,我還是贊成太空探險,因為它的好處遠遠大于壞處。

something or intend to fulfill one of your ambitions, you must work hard, make efforts and get prepared.假如你要取得成就或要實現你的雄心壯志,你必須努力工作、艱苦奮斗、準備好條件。4.時間狀語從句:常由when和while引導
Eg: When it comes to education, the majority of people believe that education is a lifetime study.說到教育,大部分人認為其是一個終生的學習。5.目的狀語從句: 常由so that和in order that引導
Eg: Millions of people have to spend more time and energy on studying new skills andtechnology 保持優勢。
so that they can keep a favorable position in job market.成千上萬的人們不得不花費更多的精力和時間學習新的技術和知識,使得他們在就業市場能
that education can , I am still in favor of space travel, for its merits far outweigh 第三,賓語從句。Eg: Some people claim
that government should be mainly responsible for the environmental pollution.一些人認為政府應對環境污染負主要責任。
Eg: Many experts point out that, along with the development of modern society, it is aninevitable result and there is no way to avoid it.許多專家指出這是現代社會發展必然的結果,無法避免。第四,同位語從句。Eg: It is an undeniable increasingly serious.環境污染變得越來越嚴重是不可否認的事實。
Eg: No one can deny the basic fact that it is impossible for average workers to master those high-technology skills easily.沒有人能否認這一基本事實:對于一般工人來講,輕松掌握這些技術是不可能的。第五,主語從句。

第二篇:雅思寫作
雅思寫作范文
Many old building are protected by law because they are part of a nation's history.However,some people think knocked down to make way for new ones because people need houses and offices.How important is it to maintain old buildings? Should history stand in the way of progress?Old buildings sometimes conflicts with social advancement.Appealing as it is in the eyes of business people,tearing down old architect to make room for real-estate development is not a wise idea in many ways.The primarily reason is that old buildings,like our native language,forms our cultural identity and keep a unique record the history of a country.From this aspect,old buildings are considered very valuable as one of the symbols of the culture of a nation.For instance,the traditional Chinese residence in Beijing,Siheyuan,are once seen as the remains of the Old World,and were destroyed by people shortly after the founding of People's Republic of China.Until recently did the people and policy makers as well realize that it is an inexcusable and stupid idea to commit such a terrible deed because old buildings,once gone,are not restorable.But their economic values and aesthetic appeals have just caught the attention of Chinese people.Moreover,old buildings,if planed and preserved properly,could coexist with modern real-estate development.In France,aged buildings bring millions of dollars of revenue for the government and amazed thousands of tourists.Yet no one thinks the high-rising office buildings and apartment buildings make the old architect a sore of the eye.By contrast,the new learn from the old,a fact that makes them more attractive.We admit that not all old buildings should be treated equally and some of them do need to be torn down for various reasons such as safety and new buildings.However,we should not be too blind to see their value too.If only the real and practical factors are being considered,the country will be sorry for its loss in years to come.As we have discussed,old buildings are part of a country's history and are valuable in many ways.We should plan well and be wise enough to see their value.But the same time,we should also do our best to find solutions to make the old and the new coexist in harmony.
第三篇:雅思寫作
很多人在準備雅思考試的初期都會問幾乎相同的問題:“需要多大的詞匯量?”“應該背哪本詞匯表?”就這些問題,北語雅思的看法如下:
雅思是個能力考試(a proficiency test),與人們所熟悉的 achievement test 不同。
所謂 achievement test,是指那些對學生所學過的知識進行檢測的考試。如每學期的期 中、期末考試。一般來說,在這樣的考試前,學校都會安排復習,老師也許還會劃定復習范圍。這些考試都和教學大綱規定的內容和進度等有關。考試的內容一般不超出大綱規定的內容。以英語為例,大綱規定了詞匯表,試題中如有超綱詞要注明中文定義。所以,每當面臨一個新的考試時,考生會很自然地問:看哪幾本書?有沒有詞匯表?
一般來說,proficiency test 與教學進度、內容、教學大綱等無關,自然也與詞匯表無關。市面上有“雅思詞匯”
七、八本之多,均為出版社為了賺錢,雇人編寫的,沒有一本具有所謂“權威性”。稍好一些的有例句說明單詞的用法,差的只給出中文定義。如果想背詞匯,隨便買本“托福詞匯”、“
四、六級詞匯”、甚至某本英漢辭典,效果是一樣的。
其實,詞匯的最好學習方法是通過大量的閱讀來學習,而這種大量的閱讀正是雅思考試閱讀部分所側重的。備戰一個 proficiency test 時,最好的準備方法就是:考什么,準備什么??奸喿x,就通過閱讀準備,而不是通過背詞匯表準備。
常有考生問:考雅思需要多大的詞匯量?很多人把詞匯量看成是能力的標志,這又回到 achievement test 和 achievement test 問題上。如果能從知識和能力的方面劃分考試的話,對詞匯量的測試是知識型的測試。有些考生可以得很高的知識分,但能力欠佳,即所謂“高分低能”。換言之,詞匯量不是能力標志。從另一個角度看,詞匯量的統計也有問題。以下這些詞怎么算:
act, actor, actress, action, active, activity, react, reactive, reaction, counteract, interact, hyperactive 等等,這到底算幾個詞。
那么該用什么來判斷一個人是否達到了挑戰雅思的水平呢?很簡單,做
一、兩套模擬題就可以了。拿體育作比喻,如果你想知道自己跑一百米需要多少秒,最好的辦法就是去跑。而不是分析自己的心臟情況、血壓、體重等。當你知道自己“吃幾碗干飯”,再去做相應的準備,去有針對性地練爆發力、步幅、節奏等。
在作聽力和閱讀試題時,三分之一的正確率就是一個很好的起點。經過一學期的脫產培訓,在考試中獲得6段是有可能的。如果起始正確率能達到三分之二,也許不用參加培訓,考自己多做幾套模擬試題,就可以獲得很好的成績。如果正確率在三分之一以下,那就不應該上雅思培訓班,而應該上一個不和任何考試掛
鉤的培訓班。這樣的班更好地解決打基礎、提高能力的問題,因為大部分雅思培訓班都花很多達到時間琢磨應試技巧,而顧及不到能力的提高。
如何自測口語和寫作呢?看一看雅思口語和寫作的題目,你自己離議論這些題目還差多遠?要想在口語和寫作考試中獲得有意義的分數(6段),應該能達到“侃”的水平。如論述“大城市面臨的交通問題的原因、現狀、出路”;“在教育孩子的過程中?懲罰?的作用”;“很多人感到越來越忙,沒有閑暇時間,原因是什么,應該怎么辦?”。這幾個題目是去出現過的雅思作文真題(task 2)。口語題的難度也相差無幾,如“論教育對一個民族的重要性”。
之二
雅思考試與我們所熟悉的許多考試的區別之一是,雅思沒有語法和詞匯題。于是有人認為不懂語法、不認識幾個單詞也可以考雅思??歼^之后才感嘆,難!于是趕緊四處打聽“有多大的詞匯量才能挑戰雅思”。
中國學生的習慣是,所有的考試都可以通過“準備”來通過的。
北語雅思想說的是,proficiency tests 是不能“準備”的,至少是不能以“期末復習、考試”那種形式來準備,更不能靠達到“五千”或是“八千”詞匯來準備的。北語雅思的所有教師都考過雅思,有的了兩次、三次,可是誰也不知道自己有多大的詞匯量。什么人關注“自己”的詞匯量呢?英語學習還不入門的學生,英語教學還是新手的教師。
還是那句話,考什么,你就應該能夠做什么。比如,留學類的閱讀的三篇文章都出自原文報刊,如“New Scientist”,那么考生就應該去看和這類雜志在難度、長度、題材有可比性的文章,通過閱讀來學習詞匯,而不是去背詞匯表。讀懂這樣的文章靠什么?語法、詞匯、背景知識等等,但這些都是次要的,主要的、乃至最重要的是:靠日積月累達到的量。
讀有難度、長度的文章比背詞匯表痛苦的多。背詞匯表可以讓人有“feel
good”、“我沒閑著”的感覺,因為可以通過“量化”來衡量自己的投入與產出。所以,背詞匯表的人多,腳踏實地、靠閱讀量來學習的人少。
聽聽womo于2003-3-17在51ielts.com上怎么說的:“環球說得6000-7000,不過我現在手里有三本雅思單詞書,發現他們不僅說雅思該有的單詞量不同,就連選錄的單詞也差很遠,背完新東方再看環球的,一堆不會。背完環球再看楊凡的,一堆不會”。
把那些“詞匯手冊”之類的東西都扔了吧。去讀、去聽?。?!
之三
淺談雅思詞匯
這個問題往往是各位準備考雅思的朋友們非常關心的,說起來也很正常。詞匯量本身就是衡量英語水平和考試難度的一個尺度,尤其在雅思考試形式比較特殊,沒有考試大綱的情況下,對詞匯來年量的需求自然倍受關注。很多朋友張口就問,考雅思要不要背單詞?背什么單詞書?也有很多朋友給我發郵件來詢問這個問題。很久沒有寫關于英語學習的東西了,最近采訪了不少剛考完雅思的同學們,今天正好借這個機會和大家討論一下。
首先要說明一點,本文里面的觀點都是針對起點為詞匯量在1,500-2,000的基礎不是太好的朋友們。換句話說,如果你的起點更低,連最基本的1,500詞匯都沒有的話,那么我個人認為你是必須要背單詞的,沒有多少商量的余地。
那么,具備了1,500-2,000的詞匯量,到底要不要背單詞呢?應該背什么單詞呢?下面我就結合雅思考試的特點,分項展開說明。
首先來看看對詞匯要求最簡單的口語。有關學好口語需要多少詞匯量的問題幾乎已經被討論爛了,比較公認的結論應該是500-800日常詞匯足矣。換句話說,如果你具備1,000以上的詞匯,但口語仍然不好,那請一定不要把原因歸結為詞匯量不夠,也請一定不要把解決辦法定位于背單詞。其實,除去因為缺乏練習造成的表達不夠流利之外,口語不好的主要問題在于對一些小詞掌握的不夠到位。比如get,take,make這樣的動詞,搭配上不同的介詞,幾乎可以表達所有的日常動作。因此,當你覺得你有意思表達不出來時,先不慌查字典找單詞,而應該問問自己,你是不是可以用已經學過的很簡單的單詞和詞組來表達這個意思?所以說,為了提高口語,是沒有必要專門背單詞的,相反,應該把所知道的簡單詞匯學好,學精。你知道see是看見,是否知道see off是告別?你知道large是大,又知道at large表示逃亡在外么?再次向口語不好的朋友們推薦《學好17個動詞走遍天下》,以后千萬別動不動就拿起詞匯書來背了。
接下來我們看看寫作。雅思考試作文的批改方式比較特殊,是analytical scoring,而不是象TOEFL采取的global scoring。什么叫global scoring呢?其實它比較象我們中學時的作文評分方式,就是一眼看上去大概是什么水平,屬于哪個檔次,就給多少分。那么analytical scoring又是怎么回事呢?我們翻譯過來叫做“分項評分”。雅思作文評分有三項:內容結構,連貫銜接,語言質量。每一項分別評分,要注意,在給每一項評分時是不受其他兩項影響的。也就是說,哪怕你的文章離題萬里,只要文字優美,那么語言那一項也是有可能打8分的。三項加起來除以三,就是一篇作文的最終得分。那么這種分項評分到底有什么好處呢?顯然是有的,因為英語作為外語,普遍中國學生寫作文時語言水平有限,因此如果把握好文章的內容結構,在連貫方面處理得好,完全可以將最終分數提上去。而把握文章的結構,做好連貫銜接,顯然與詞匯量的大小絲毫扯不上關系吧?退一步講,如果要提高寫作的語言質量,也幾乎不取決于詞匯量大小。關于這一點,我在《關于寫作的一點個人體會》中詳細闡述,這里不再廢話。
說起聽力,我又要提起我反復強調的一個概念:聽力詞匯量。聽力詞匯量區別于閱讀詞匯量,簡單地說,就是不看拼寫,僅從發音判斷就能確定認識的單詞,才屬于你的聽力詞匯量。對于聽力水平普遍不高的中國考生,可能聽力詞匯量還不到閱讀詞匯量的一半。而雅思聽力考試顯然要求的是更多的聽力詞匯量,而不是
閱讀詞匯。從這一點出發,整天抱著詞匯書死背,往紙上反復抄寫,對提高聽力詞匯量有百害而無一益。其次,雅思聽力作為考察英語國家生存能力的測試,對日常用語考得非常頻繁。雅思聽力的特色題目就是填空,簡答這樣需要動手填寫單詞的題目。而需要填寫的單詞往往是日常用詞。比如有一次考過jackfruit(菠蘿蜜),還考過pomelo(釉子),這樣的詞生活中很常用,可是好象哪本單詞書中都不會收錄吧?那么,整日抱著單詞書背,意義究竟何在?
最后我們來討論存在爭議最大的閱讀問題。
雅思考試的閱讀文章往往是從報刊雜志上摘下來的,這樣就造成大量的專有名詞,以及一些不常用的詞匯。這樣造成了考生在考試時遇到大量不認識的單詞,因此帶來的結果就是,很多人馬上將自己無法答對題的原因歸結為不認識單詞,將解決辦法歸納為背單詞。于是背了劉毅的5000和10000,三個月后滿懷信心走入考場,發現不認識的單詞比上次還多!很多培訓機構也很不負責地拿有些考生的成績來做虛假宣傳,說某某詞匯量多少,于是閱讀多少分耳耳,好象他的成績就歸功于他詞匯量一樣。那么,問題究竟出在什么地方?
要了解這一點,首先有必要了解一下雅思閱讀的出題原則和思路。雅思閱讀是考察從文章中獲得有效信息的能力,因此充滿生詞是必然的,問題在于你能否從中讀出對你有用的信息。我可以完全負責任的說,雅思閱讀從來不出從上下文推斷詞義的題目,換句話說,雅思閱讀中根本就沒有考察詞匯量的題??!
象summary,short anwser question這樣的題目,只需要你從原文中尋找特定的信息,哪怕它是個專有名詞,你不認識,沒關系,找出來填進去就是了。對于大多數人來說,最難的題當屬T/F/NG,這種題怎么考呢?比如,文中講Tom is taller than Mary。題目中說Tom is as tall as Mary。那么顯然,這道題為FALSE。有人說這太簡單了,雅思不會考這么簡單的,其實這說明你沒有意識到T/F/NG題的精髓所在罷了。對于雅思考試來說,無非就是把TOM,MARY這樣的詞換成誰都不認識的專有名詞來嚇唬人而已,因為T/F/NG題根本就不考你的詞匯量,它考的是你對句意的把握。而能否正確把握句意,取決于你的語法和句子結構分析能力,與詞匯量無關。下面舉個真實考試的例子大家就明白了。
文中說&& is a poor predictor,%% is little better than &&.題目說%% is a good predictor.(&&和%%表示兩個難詞)。好,這個題答案是什么呢?是FALSE。為什么呢?很顯而易見,這里的專有名詞我都沒寫出來,認不認識肯定對答題不影響,這里題目考察的是對little better than這個語法結構的理解,你必須知道這個結構,才能正確把握句子的意思。那么什么人需要背單詞呢?那就是連
poor,little這樣的詞都不認識的人才需要背,也就是我開頭說的那些基礎實在太差,詞匯量可能只有三位數的人。而對于很多詞匯量并不小的人,由于不認識little better than這個結構,照樣無法做對題目。
舉個簡單的例子,無非是想告訴大家,要看清閱讀考試的實質,千萬不要輕易將做錯題的原因歸結為詞匯不夠。其實造成閱讀能力有限的原因是多方面的,主要是閱讀速度和對句子結構的分析能力。前者必須通過廣泛的閱讀來鍛煉和提高,而后者,說到底是一個英語基本功是否扎實的問題,冰凍三尺非一日之寒,解決語法問題是慢工夫,并不是背背單詞就可以提高英語水平的。
說到這里,很多朋友可能會這樣問,你寫這個是不是就是要大家把手里的單詞書全都扔掉?非也。對于很多已經工作的朋友,或者長時間不接觸英語的朋友,找一本合適自己的詞匯書看看,是盡快恢復的最好辦法之一。背單詞的關鍵在精不在多,對于一個單詞,并不是看到它知道中文意思就足夠的,如果讓你造個句子你會不會用?如果在收音機里聽到它你能不能分辨出來?這都是衡量對詞匯的掌握程度。因此,反復復習,反復再實踐中運用剛學到的單詞,才是背單詞的正道。
本人是機械背單詞的強烈反對者,因此從不推薦詞匯參考書。如果非要說起來的話,找一本用法詳細,注解豐富(最好有英文注解)的四級詞匯書,足矣 :)
PS:這里我想談談很多所謂《雅思詞匯》這樣的書。鄭重其事告訴大家,這種書絕大多數都是不科學的。首先,雅思考試沒有明確大綱,只要在英語中出現的詞匯,都有出現在卷子上的可能,并沒有規定哪些詞匯才是所謂“雅思詞匯”。很多編者宣稱他的書是經過多少多少次對真題的統計得出的結論而搞出來的詞頻,大家千萬不要輕易上當。首先,雅思真題保密工作很好,真題不可能在考場外泄露,而考生離開考場是不準帶出一張紙。那么這些所謂的“統計者”,從哪里搞來那么多的真題作為統計材料?用腦子把卷子一字不差背下來?呵呵。其次,由于雅思考試的特殊性,每次考題與上次幾乎沒有關系,也就是說,一次考題中出現什么單詞,與它上次出現與否,下次還會不會出現,是完全沒有規律可循的。做這種統計本身就是無意義的。希望廣大鴨友們在選取參考書的時候一定要睜大眼睛,千萬不要被*商蒙蔽。
第四篇:雅思寫作
Topic: only when people make a large sum of money can they be said successful.Do you agree or disagree?
It is vital to define success although currently criteria are colorful.A sound definition of the term helps people to live and learn better.Moreover, it plays an important role in the construction of good social mores.It is wrong to say that people are not successful if they have failed to make a huge sum of money.The reason is that whether one is successful is not only measured with material yardstick but also against the spiritual criterion.Spiritual achievements and contributions bear little relationship with money.Put it in other word, many of those who have not earned sufficient money are considered successful for their accomplishments.For instance, my mother has never been able to make enough money but she is successful in that she has told us why we live.To emphasize the spiritual elements in the understanding of what success is is not to deny the importance of the ability to make money.On the contrary, the capability to make a massive sum of money in many cases is a kind of success.In terms of the individual development, any human being in a modern society where money is the main economic dimension must be able to live independently by means of earning and spending.In terms of the society development, a country must be rich enough to protect basic human rights, provide foods, and offer education to its members.Otherwise it is not successful.In conclusion, money is not the only standard of success, but it is necessary to be able to make money.
第五篇:雅思寫作
Topic: Should grad student be paid higher than non-grads?
In China, it is obvious now that the university graduates earn more money than non-graduates(a funny contrast in which it was opposite scenario when in 1970s China).I quite agree with those graduates who have paid a lot for their studies and expect to make more for either himself or his family.However, it is not so optimistically for those who hope to make it.The critical career competition makes them frustrated due to many factors involved.One of the utmost factors is they feel what they anticipate is not matching up with what they have found in reality.Many university graduates are not satisfied with what they get for what they have done.As a matter of fact, some of them expect so unrealistic that they immediately lose the credit to the workforce they belong to.On the contrary, some of the non-graduate students who are more realistic in career hunting tend to get more satisfied job compared with graduates.Thus what really matters here in salary balance is how one can contribute to the organization rather than what background they hold.The tuition is really high in China.Many high quality students due to this have lost their academic pursuit.This is really shameful for a family or any government who initially should take the burden for whatever reason is supposed to be.Any responsible government should inevitably take this burden and put more money in order to bring up better next generation for the nation.
