難詞探意

1. consume /knsjum/ v. 消耗

2. essential /senl/ adj. 基本的;必不可少的

In order to improve socializing skills， lighten the financial burden and also spend spare time， an increasing number of students are doing part？鄄time jobs. Like a coin has two sides， there is a positive aspect and a negative aspect to it.

Some people think that there are many advantages for students to have part？鄄time jobs. Firstly， part？鄄time jobs offer them opportunities to apply what they have learned in school and demonstrate their abilities. Secondly， doing part？鄄time jobs enables them to be more independent of their family and builds up their self？鄄confidence. Thirdly， part？鄄time experiences may be of great help to their future careers. Finally， part？鄄time jobs can broaden their lives and help them know more of themselves and society.

However， some other people hold the view that doing part？鄄time jobs has more disadvantages. The main job of students is to study， not to work. If they have part？鄄time jobs， they may have to reduce their time for sleep， rest， study and activities. For the shortage of time， when you focus on one， you may lose the other. Working several hours a day consumes a lot of time and energy and may affect their studies. As a result， they may find it hard to adjust to what the school expects of them as well as their employers expect， and finally， they may fall behind or fail in their studies.

But remember a positive attitude is the key to everything. Be confident that you can deal with these two items. For instance， you can make a clear timetable and this will remind you of your arrangement and making full use of your time.

Students can choose to take up a part？鄄time job according to their own situations， but they should remember they are students， and their study is the essential preparation for their success in society.Thus， the most important thing for them is to keep a good balance between part？鄄time jobs and their study.

1. Firstly， parttime jobs offer them opportunities to apply what they have learned in school and demonstrate their abilities. 首先，兼職給他們提供了運用學校所學知識和展示能力的機會。

【點石成金】本句是一個主從復合句，what they have learned in school為賓語從句，作apply的賓語;主句中offer them opportunities為“動詞雙賓語”結構。

2. As a result， they may find it hard to adjust to what the school expects of them as well as their employers expect， and finally， they may fall behind or fail in their studies. 結果，他們可能會發(fā)現(xiàn)很難適應學校對他們的期望以及雇主的期望，最后，他們可能會在學習上落后或失敗。

【點石成金】find it + adj. + to do sth為固定句式，意為“發(fā)現(xiàn)做某事是……的”，it為形式賓語，不定式為真正的賓語。

閱讀以上短文，根據(jù)其內容寫一篇60詞左右的內容概要。

寫作導引

概要寫作（summary writing）是在整體把握原文的前提下，用自己簡潔、精練的語言，對原文的主旨大意進行高度的概括，寫出一篇語義連貫的短文。概要寫作一般可分為以下五個步驟：

Step 1 Read for the genre （體裁）

常見的文章體裁及其結構如下：

記敘文 記敘文常按照時間順序來鋪排語篇順序，其核心六要素是who、when、where、what、why和how，一般可分為以下幾個部分：

開端：介紹背景，交代時間、地點、人物等因素，引出故事的開端。

正文：包括情節(jié)、發(fā)展和高潮三部分。

結尾：故事結局。

說明文 說明文可分為舉例說明文、類比/對比說明文、因果說明文。

開頭（概說）：引出文章主題（現(xiàn)象/問題/研究結果）。

正文（分說）：分項具體解釋說明（舉例子、析原因、析結果、作對比）。

結尾（總說）：總結陳述。

議論文 議論文主要是作者闡明自己的觀點，并進行論證。

引論（開頭）：引出觀點。

本論：擺出證據(jù)，闡明觀點（闡理由、析利弊、列實例、提舉措）。

結論：重申觀點。

本文是一篇議論文，主要講述學生做兼職對學業(yè)造成的影響，以及如何平衡學習和兼職的問題。

Step 2 Read for the structure （結構）

本文的篇章結構為“總—分—總”。第一段是主題段，綜述學生兼職的概況，指出兼職具有兩面性;第二、三段為支撐性內容，從正、反兩方面講述兼職的優(yōu)、缺點; 第四、五段總結，要平衡學業(yè)和兼職。

Step 3 Read for the key points（要點）

Step 4 Paraphrase（改寫） the key points accurately and briefly

文章體裁、結構和要點抓住后，就需要進行改寫，如：

1. an increasing number of students可替換為more and more students;“Like a coin has two sides， there is a positive aspect and a negative aspect to it.”可替換為“It has both advantages and disadvantages.”。

第一段可概括為“More and more students take part？鄄time jobs， which has both advantages and disadvantages.”。

2. demonstrate their abilities可替換為capable。

第二段可概括為“After taking parttime jobs， students become capable， independent and considerate.”。

3. reduce their time for sleep， rest， study and activities可替換為take up much time。

第三段可概括為“Others think that parttime jobs take up much time.”。

4. “Be confident that you can deal with these two items.”可替換為“Students should balance their study and work.”。

第四段可概括為“Students should balance their work and study.”。

5. keep a good balance可替換為balance。

第五段可概括為“Its necessary for students to balance work and study.”。

Step 5 Combine the paraphrases to form a coherent（連貫的） summary

兩種不同觀點用both...and連接;兩種觀點之間用while連接表示比較;最后用in a word開頭做總結，使得文章上下文連貫、有邏輯。

概要寫作還需要注意以下幾點：

1. 客觀性

概要寫作其實是一種客觀的復述，在正確理解原文的基礎上，用自己的語言忠實地再現(xiàn)作者的思想。寫作內容要全面，既不能漏掉任何要點，也不能隨意增加內容。特別需要注意的是，考生不能對原文進行解釋和評論，也不能摻雜任何個人想法，或做出任何評判，因此不能出現(xiàn)“I believe”和“I think”等詞句。

2. 簡潔性

能簡則簡，避免繁復。概要寫作是一種對原文“濃縮”后產生的新語篇，通過刪除細節(jié)，減少例證，簡化描述，以及去除重復來實現(xiàn)語言的簡潔性，但是簡潔的同時還要做到意義的完整。

3. 連貫性

概要寫作并不像寫提綱那樣只是要點的羅列。寫概要時，必須在各要點之間增加一些連詞，使概要銜接緊密、脈絡清晰。寫出的概要讀起來要完整連貫、獨立成篇。

切記：概要寫作不分段！

學生做兼職的現(xiàn)象一直存在，他們有的是為了減輕家里的經濟負擔，有的是為了豐富課余生活……那么，學生做兼職是否可??？
