【写作内容】
1．按照传统，在外工作人员春节期间一般应该怎么做；
2．现在发生了什么变化；
3．为什么会产生这种现象；
4．数据差异是什么；
5．你认为应该如何解决。 【写作要求】
必须使用5个句子介绍全部所给的内容。
参考词汇：immigrant workers 外来工
第一步：审题，确定时态
本篇写作是表格形式呈现信息点的试题。介绍现 阶段的一种现象和针对该现象的调查结果，应用一般现在时。
第二步：拟定出具体的信息点。 该题的要点都是以问题的形式出现的，所以该篇写作关键是要结合写作内容拟定出具体的信息点。首先提出 “大家都知道，在外工作人员春节期间回家与家 人团圆是传统”，然后介绍 “现在在外打工人员有点不敢回家”这种变化，接下来分析原因： 费用高，花销大；交通拥挤， 人生大事未定即未结婚等，最后发表个人观点。对于最后一个问题，所给信息中没有明确的解决方法，是个开放性问题，同学们可以自由发挥，比如提高外来工作人员的待遇，增开临时列车等。
第三步：提炼语言，使句子顺畅、灵活、多样。
对于各个要点的表达，要坚持顺畅、灵活、多样的原则。如在分析原因前，可以加入这样的过渡句——他们为何宁愿待在外地也不愿回家呢？对于该语句的表达，我们可以使用“prefer to…rather than…”这一句式表达。在分析原因时，可以将表格中所列的3个原因用名词短语的形式表达：the high cost of seeing their family, the fear of the Spring Festival
traffic jams and the fear of family pressure to get married contribute to the social phenomenon.
As we all know, it is a tradition to go home during the Spring Festival wherever we live and work. But with the Spring Festival drawing near, some immigrant workers scare to return home somewhat. Why do they prefer to stay out rather than return home? It's reported homesick as they are, the high cost of seeing their family, the fear of the Spring Festival traffic jams and the fear of family pressure to get married contribute to the social phenomenon.
As far as I am concerned, our government should take some steps to solve the problem such as increasing the wages of the immigrant workers, providing more working posts, enlarging the scope of temporary trains and so on.

Recently the students in our class have discussed the following topic: which is more important for college graduates to choose jobs, being interested in it or being good at it?
One possible version：
Recently the students in our class have discussed the following topic: which is more important for college graduates to choose jobs, being interested in it or being good at it?
Concerning this matter, different people have different opinions. Some think the love of job is very important arguing that interest is the best teacher, which
helps you work hard and gradually improves your skills to make you good at it, although you are not good at it at the beginning. Others hold the opposite view. In their opinion, if you are good at it, you will have more chances to achieve success very soon, and you can do all you can to gain the interest in it little by little.
As far as I am concerned, we should make full use of our strengths to change them each other regardless of the fact that you like it or you are good at it. Part 2 Of 2 9. grasp vt. & n. 抓住；理解
