年輕人頻繁更換工作的原因及優劣勢
Many young people in the workforce today change their jobs or careers every few years. What do you think are the reasons for this? Do the advantages of this outweigh its disadvantages?
審題 & 解析
本週是一個大家都非常熟悉的話題，類似的話題曾經在2010年6月19日、2014年4月5日、2017年9月16日出現過。
在過去，更換一次工作是很難的，多數人都是在一個崗位上工作到退休，但現在剛畢業幾年的年輕人如果沒有換幾次工作都會覺得自己吃虧了。那麼，這到底是什麼原因造成的呢？對於這種原因分析的題目，唐老師建議大家還是從三個層次（即物質層次、心理層次和社會層次）去思考，就容易把思路梳理得比較有條理。
就年輕人更換工作而言：
第一個理由肯定是為了掙取更高的工資，獲得更好的發展機會；
其次，從心理上講，很多年輕人願意去嘗試新工作，認為這樣可以結識不同領域的朋友，增加人生體驗；
最後，從社會角度看，由於服務行業的興旺，電腦技術的發展，客觀上也為年輕人頻繁更換工作創造了可能性。
那麼，頻繁更換工作對年輕人來說是好還是壞呢？
從好處上講，這的確可以增加年輕人的工作經歷，從而提高他們未來在就業市場上的競爭力；
但也有壞處，比如無法在某個領域成為最頂級的專家，從而失去更多發展機會。
本題審題時，要專注兩個關鍵詞，即“年輕人”和“頻繁更換工作”。
以下是本題高分範文。
老師筆記
第 1 段
Not long ago, most people would choose to stay on the same job for the entire life, but today young people prefer to try different things and hop from one job to another.
不久以前，大多數人都會選擇終生從事同一份工作，但今天的年輕人更喜歡嘗試不同的事情，從一份工作跳到另一份工作。
解析：
（1） 本段直接進入話題，用過去和現在的對比來提出下文討論的現象：年輕人不停更換工作。
（2） Stay on the same job 堅持做同一份工作
（3） Hop from one job to another 從一份工作跳到另一份工作
第 2 段
In my view, there mainly are three reasons why young people are doing so. At the most basic level , young people find that frequent job changing can often bring them the pay rise they expect. My friend Edward is a perfect example. As a program designer, he has worked for three different companies in the past five years, and now he earns almost five times as much as he did in the first company. This would not have been possible if he had not been mobile enough. The second reason is that by doing different jobs or careers, young people can increase their work experience and eventually become more versatile. This may give them a competitive edge, especially in today’s job market where an all-round employee is always preferred. Finally, changing jobs frequently nowadays has been made possible by the booming service industry and rapidly developing information technology and transport.
在我看來，年輕人之所以這樣做，主要有三個原因。在最基本的層面上，年輕人發現頻繁換工作往往會給他們帶來期望的加薪。我的朋友愛德華就是個完美的例子。作為一名程序設計師，他在過去五年裡為三家不同的公司工作過，現在他的收入幾乎是第一家公司的五倍。如果他不是如此頻繁地變動，那是不可能的。第二個原因是，通過做不同的工作或職業，年輕人可以增加他們的工作經驗，並最終變得更多才多藝。這可能會給他們一個競爭優勢，特別是在當今的就業市場上，一個全面的員工總是被青睞的。最後，由於蓬勃發展的服務業和迅速發展的信息技術和運輸，如今頻繁更換工作已經成為可能。
解析：
（1） 本段論述年輕人不停更換工作的三個原因，分別為物質原因（能掙更高工資，舉例論證）、心理原因（增加工作經驗+結果分析），社會原因（服務業、信息技術和交通的發展）。
（2） At the most basic level 在最基本的層面上
（3） Versatile 全能的
（4） Give sb. a competitive edge 給某人競爭優勢
（5） Booming 蓬勃發展的
第 3 段
Needless to say, job-hopping may be a bad thing if it is not well-considered. Shifting from job to job may prove to be a waste of time and opportunity since this may easily make a person Jack of all trades and master of none. As we know, the person who can provide the most professional service for the company enjoys the best opportunity of promotion. However, if a person does not find the job he is doing interesting or fulfilling, then quitting the job and getting a new one could be a win-win strategy both for the companies and employees. For the companies, “new bloods” often mean stronger labor force. For the employees, a new job means a new opportunity.
不用說，跳槽可能是一件壞事，如果沒有沒有好好考慮的話。從一份工作轉到另一份工作可能是浪費時間和機會，因為這可能很容易使一個人成為萬金油，但一無所專。我們知道，能夠為公司提供最專業服務的人享有最佳的晉升機會。但是，如果一個人發現他所從事工作沒有意義或沒有成就感，那麼他換工作對公司和員工來說都是雙贏的策略。對公司來說，“新血液”通常意味著更強大的勞動力和活力。對員工來說，新的工作意味著新的機會。
解析：
（1）本段討論改換工作的壞處（無法專門做好一件事情）和好處（擺脫自己不喜歡的工作）。
（2）Jack of all trades and master of none 什麼都會但什麼都不專的人
（3）Fulfilling 有成就感的
第 4 段
In light of the above discussion, I would conclude that no change of jobs is wasteful as long as it is carefully considered. Holding on to a job that we do not like is a crime against our precious life.
根據以上的討論，我認為只要仔細考慮，換工作是不會浪費的。堅持一份我們不喜歡的工作是對我們寶貴生命的一種犯罪。
解析：
（1）本段是結論，明確提出自己的觀點。
（2）In light of 依據
（3）Hold on to... 牢牢抱住；堅持
