[00:01.08]易考范文一
[00:04.04]In the above picture,
[00:07.43]a collection of job-seekers with high academic degrees swarm¹ to an employer,
[00:13.33]only to be told that technicians alone are in demand.
[00:17.71]What is reflected in the picture is an emerging phenomenon—the gap
[00:23.07]between supply and demand of the job market.
[00:26.24]A recent survey indicates that jobs such as service and sales account for
[00:31.49]a percentage as large as 80%,
[00:34.12]while young men show little interest in these “blue-collar” occupations.
[00:38.82]In contrast,
[00:40.13]the majority of students strive to be engaged in “white-collar” professions,
[00:44.83]fields offering insufficient² job opportunities.
[00:48.44]At the same time, students are liable to insulate themselves from the society,
[00:53.69]thus unable to put into practice what they have learned from the books.
[00:58.07]As a result, when students graduate,
[01:00.81]they get a diploma but little experience and capacity, which, however,
[01:05.61]are valued by the employers.
[01:07.80]In my view,
[01:09.00]the solution relies largely on the joint³ efforts of school authorities and students themselves.
[01:15.35]On the one hand, schools should provide guidance for students,
[01:19.61]encouraging them to incorporate book learning into practical skills.
[01:23.99]On the other hand,
[01:25.63]it is advisable for students to come down to earth and accumulate experience
[01:30.01]related to their future job. Only in this way,
[01:33.94]can they better adapt to the society and find a suitable position in it
