英语四级作文两篇

 　　Profession and Business

　　Our current educational system focuses on preparing today's youth to get good jobs by de-

　　veloping scholastic¹ skills. Their lives will revolve² around their wages, or their income column. And after developing scholastic skills,they go on to higher levels of schooling³ to enhance⁴ their professional abilities. They study to become engineers, scientists, cooks, police officers, artists, writers and so on. These professional skills allow them to enter the workforce⁵ and work for money.

　　There is a big difference between your profession and your business. Often I ask people, "What is your business?"And they will say. "Oh I'm a banker." Then I ask them if they own the bank? And they usually respond. "No. I work there"

　　In that instance, they have confused their profession with their business. Their profession may be a banker, but they still need their own business. A problem with school is that you often become what you study. So if you study, say, cooking, you become a chef. If you study the law, you become an

　　attorney⁶, and a study of auto⁷ mechanics⁸ makes you a mechanic. The mistake in becoming what you study is that too many people forget to mind their own business. They spend their lives minding someone else's business and making that person rich.

　　职业和事业

　　我们现在的教育体制着重于让现在的年轻人通过掌握课本知识为以后找到好工作做准备。他们的生活围着报酬或收入栏而转。掌握了课本知识以后，他们就到高等学校提高职业技能。他们开始学习成为工程师、科学家、厨师、警察、艺术家、作家等等。这些职业技能让他们进入劳动大军，为钱而工作。

　　职业和事业大有不同。通常当我问别人，“你的事业是什么?”时，他们会说“哦，我是银行家。”然后我就会问银行是不是他们的?他们往往就回答，“不，我在那里工作。”

　　在那个例子里，他们自己都把职业和事业混淆了。他们的职业也许是银行家，但他们还需要自己的事业。现在学校教育的一大弊端就是，你学什么通常你将来就变成了什么。比如你学的是烹饪，你就成为了一个厨师。如果你学习法律，那么你以后就当律师，学自动机械使你成为机械师。学什么就变成什么的错误就在于，太多人忘记了自己的事业。他们一生都在为别人的事业忙碌，让别人富有。

　　job Interview

　　In order to make a good impression during a job interview, you need to prepare yourself

　　for the interview. You must arrive in plenty of time for the interview,so that you give yourself a little

　　time to relax before the interview begins.

　　The impression you make as you walk into the room is very important. Try to find out if the

　　company or organization has rules about dress. Then try to dress according to their regulations.

　　You also need to plan what you are going to say. In some interviews you will have to do a lot of talking, and in others you will only have to answer a few questions about your education and experience. You need to have answers ready about yourself, your schoolwork, your strong points, your reasons for applying for the job, and the salary you expect.

　　You will also be allowed to ask some questions of your own. The questions you ask will show the interviewer that you have given careful thought to the position. You can ask questions like these. What duties will I have to do in the job? Will I be allowed to join a health insurance program? Does the company provide opportunities for further education?

　　求职面试

　　为了在求职面试中给人留下好的印象，你需要为面试做些准备。为了面试你一定要提前很长时间到达，这样就可以在面试开始前给自己留出点儿时间放松。

　　你走进房间时给人留下的印象非常重要。设法查清这个公司或组织在着装方面是否有规定。然后试着按规定着装。

　　你还需要对你要说的话有所计划。有些面试中你得说很多话，而另外一些面试中，你只需要回答你教育和经历方面的一些问题。你需要准备好关于你自己、学业、优点、申

　　请这份工作的原因以及期盼得到的薪水等问题的答案。

　　面试中也会允许你问一些与自己有关的问题。你的提问将向招聘人员表明你对这个职位做过认真考虑。你可以问这样的问题：这份工作中我的职责是什么?允许我上健康险吗?公司是否提供继续教育的机会?
