Question

【题目】请阅读下面文字及图表，并按照要求用英语写一篇150词左右的文章。

The ministry of Human Resources and Social Security released a list of 100 professions that have major demand. Vacancies for sales positions, cashiers, restaurant waiters and security guards topped the list, followed by manufacturing professionals, including lathe (车床) operators, welders (电焊工) and porters, according to the ministry.

“Usually, we believe that sectors closely related to high technology face the toughest situation,” said Yin Baoming, a researcher at the Chinese Academy of Labor and Social Security. “But it’s the same with low-killed jobs. They are also key.”

Lin Qing, a 23-year-old from Jiangsu province, who worked as a receptionist for a cybercafe in Beijing, quit last year and is now studying for the test to get into a vocational college.

”I felt hopeless after working for the cybercafe for almost three years,” she said. “I worked for restaurants and cafes, but none of these jobs brought me any respect or sense of dignity. I want to learn some skills through training courses. I don’t want to live a life of hard physical work anymore.”

Answer 1

【答案】There’s a serious shortage of labor for low-skilled positions. When it comes to their career interest tendency, the vast majority of students choose professions like an engineer over the job as a worker.

The following reasons can account for this phenomenon. Firstly, some parents are reluctant to let their children take jobs that require physical strength but low skills. Secondly, the younger generation themselves show unwillingness to work at such positions, which are often in poor conditions with low salaries. Thirdly, the low prestige that comes with such jobs also discourages job-seekers.

Therefore, it’s important to improve working environments and salaries to attract more workers. Besides, both the government and companies should make efforts to promote skills training, which will help ease the problem. Most importantly, everyone should keep in mind that no matter how ordinary a job is, it plays a part in society and deserves our due respect.
