My View on Job-hopping

People’s opinions are always different once they talk about job-hopping. Those who never change their job throughout their life maintain that they have accumulated enough experience to work smoothly and efficiently, so what s the point in changing to another job? They also firmly believe that anyone who wants to excel in his specialty has to work hard on the same post for years to acquire the required skill and knowledge.

Many people think otherwise. On the one hand, if the present job can offer neither satisfactory working conditions nor future opportunities, they will not hesitate a moment to leave. On the other hand, they hold that life is only once and job-hopping can provide rich and exciting experiences.

My own opinion is that job-hopping, in this fast-developing information era, has become more common and acceptable. If we want to keep pace with the times, we have to change for the faster, the higher and the stronger. If life is a journey, we have nothing to regret so long as we put meaning into it. So why not make a change?

【结构点评】本文先提出两种对立的观点，再阐述自己的观点。第一段是第一种人的观点，第二段是第二种人的观点，第三段说明自己的观点，即同意后者的观点。第一段第一句的模板用once要比when好得多。第二句是个非常好的模板句式，它能把持某种观点的人与他们的想法用一句话就说出来。第三句中使用了also，说明这是进一步地说明这种观点。第二段第一句使用了副词otherwise，表示“不一样地”，非常简洁。此段用了一对连接词引出了两点理由。第三段首先包含了一个插入语，其次使用了两个平行的形容词，并用more来加强语气。而后的条件状语从句用两个if连续使用，效果不错，最后以一个反问句结尾，表示建议，非常新颖、活泼。

B. 范文

My View on Major-hopping

People’s opinions are always different once they talk about major-hopping. Those who never change their major throughout their life maintain that they have been loving their major for years and dreaming of applying what they have learned to their future work, so what s the point in changing to another major? They also firmly believe that anyone who wants to excel in his specialty has to work hard in the same field for years to acquire the required skill and knowledge.

Many people think otherwise. On the one hand, if they are not interested in or satisfied with their major at college, they decide to make a change when they pursue postgraduate studies. On the other hand, they are also likely to make the transition because they want to find a satisfactory job in the future.

My own opinion is that major-hopping, in this fast-developing information era, has become more common and acceptable. If we want to keep pace with the times, we have to change for the faster, the higher, and the stronger. If we are sure that the new major fits us better and will add meaning to our life, why cannot we make a new beginning?

【短文大意】本篇是有关一种新能源以及社会各界对其使用领域看法的文章。美国民众和政府采用酒精作为替代能源是源于美国试图降低对外进口石油的依赖。联邦政府开始制定政策提高对生物燃料的利用，但开发生物燃料不是一帆风顺的。生物燃料并没有缓解美国目前的燃料不足带来的痛苦，但有人认为痛苦是暂时的。与此同时英国大企业家也宣布要投资酒精生产。

第四段“But others are persuaded, despite the pains at the beginning stage. If I had to bet $ 100, I d bet on bio-fuels, says Hunter Lovins, …”，并且由这句“Rich investors also believe its growth. Richard Branson, a British entrepreneur who heads the Virgin conglomerate, recently announced plans to invest up to $400 in ethanol production. ”，可以看出来自英国的这位企业家对乙醇的生产还是满怀信心的。
