托福独立口语模板：学生在上大学之前是否应该做兼职？

　　Task : Do you agree or disagree with the following statement: students should do part-time jobs before they enter college. 是否同意学生在上大学之前应该做兼职？

　　解析

　　此题是机经题，题号2012.1.8ML/2010.3.20NA。题目问学生在上大学之前是否应该做兼职。正反两面的叙述皆可。正面叙述相对较为容易。

　　同意此观点可以陈述的理由包括：做兼职能让学生提早接触工作，感受工作环境;让学生感受挣钱是一件不容易的事情;鼓励学生自给自足，早日脱离父母独立生活等等。这个话题可以归到part-time job的大类里。

　　具体陈述可采用论述法，如：学生在上大学之前大部分时间都在读书，进大学之前做一些兼职能够拓展他们的视野 (broaden their horizon或enrich their life experience)，让学生对于工作有一个初步的认识 (establish an initial understanding of)。此外能让他们理解挣钱的不易，这样在花钱的时候就不会特别挥霍 (waste their money on things they don’t actually need或spend money carelessly)。还可以让学生有意识去管理自己的钱(manage their own account)，产生独立的经济意识而不是始终依赖父母(rely on their parents)，这样就能早日独立生活(live independently)。另还有一点较为依赖个人经历但也可以作为论证理由的，即人生的第一桶金给人带来的喜悦和成就感(the sense of joy and accomplishment)。

　　下面给出参考答案：

　　Q: Do you agree or disagree with the following statement: students should do part-time jobs before they enter college.

　　A: I agree with the idea that students should do part-time jobs before they enter college. For a start, most students have been studying in school for a long time before they enter college. Doing some part-time jobs will allow them to experience something different and something that they can never learn from school. For example, they can learn about how hard it is to earn money, so that they won’t spend money carelessly in the future. Secondly, it always feels good to earn money by yourself. When they earn money for the first time through their own effort, it will give them a huge sense of accomplishments, and this will possibly encourage them to live independently at an earlier age. Such experience should enrich the life experience of students and make their pre-college life more meaningful.
