【参考范文】
For undergraduates college students, deciding what to do upon graduation can be a tough decision to say the least. From my point of view, I prefer to launch a business. My choice can be attributed to the following two driving forces.
For one thing, I want to start my own business because I love do what I love. In my own business, I will be more than passionate to plan, organize and execute my favorite project.For another thing, running my own business, I can accumulate rich experience, which is not only valuable to problem-solving but also critical to career development. While the risk of failing is real, what is important part is the lesson learned.
Actually, when in comes time for university graduates to decide their next step in life, there is no on right or wrong choice for everyone. Rather, each students must reach his or her own conclusion.
【参考译文】
对于本科生来说，决定毕业工作之后做什么毫不夸张的说是一个艰难的决定。从我个人而言，我更喜欢创业。以下两点原因可以解释我的选择。
一方面，我是因为想做自己喜欢的事情才选择创业。自己创业时，会投入极大的热情对于自己喜欢的项目进行计划、组织和执行。另一方面，通过创业，可以积累丰富的工作经验，而工作经验对于问题解决还是职业发展都是非常有必要的。虽然失败的风险是真是的，但是重要的是从中吸取教训。
事实上，大学毕业之际，每个人在决定人生中的下一步时无所谓对和错。更恰当的说，每个学生都必须做出自己的选择。
【范文解析】
这次的四级作文再次考了和大学生生活极为紧密的话题——大学毕业后的选择：工作还是创业，这是每个大学毕业生都会面临的选择题。构思本题可以从以下思路入手，首先开篇明确自己的选择;中间段落具体阐述自己做出这样选择的原因，例如参考范文做出的选择是创业，中间段落具体阐释选择创业的原因是由于爱好和积累经验。结尾段说明无论哪一种选择本身并无对错之分。
【题目点评】
