1) The job market for college graduates is getting tighter and tighter. According to a survey, only 88 percent of college graduates of the Class of 2001 found jobs the year they graduated, compared with 96 percent in 1999.  Why do college graduates find it increasingly difficult to get jobs?(用数据表示,大学生就业形势紧张,并提出问题,为什么)

2) One reason is the coming of the boom of college graduates. (主题句)In 1997 only half of high school graduates were admitted to colleges and universities, but in 1999 two-thirds of them entered colleges, and in 2001 the number reached four-fifths.

Obviously we will experience a sharp increase in the number of college graduates four years later, which will make the situation of job market worse than ever.(第一个也是最主要的原因是四年前大学扩招,造成就业高峰的到来)

3) Another reason is connected with their attitude towards employment (主题句). Many graduates put earnings above anything else. They aim at the well-paid position in foreign corporations or big banks and set a standard as high as RMB 4 000 for their monthly salary. Since below that they won't accept any job, many opportunities have been lost. Obviously, if they have a realistic expectation of how much they should earn in the beginning of their career, it won't be difficud for them to get a job. （第二个原因是毕业生对工资的心理价位过高,因而失去了很多机会)

4) Beside the salary, they are also very particular about the place (主题句). Many college graduates are reluctant to seek a job in the less developed provinces, say, in the mid-westerm areas, where there are immense opportunities for success and career development. Instead, they all food to the big cities in the eastern coastal areas, such as Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen. As a result, the competition in these cities' job market becomes more fierce.(第三个原因是过分拥挤于东部大城市,而不愿去西北部发展)

5) With the increasing college population, employment for graduates will become more serious. Among many solutions, having a correct attitude toward it is a very important one.(最后提出建议，端正态度)

闪光点:

1.数据说明:不仅用数据来反映问题,而且在第二段里用数据来描述大学连年扩招的情况,从而说明为什么大学毕业生就业形势紧张的原因。

2.用词变化:college graduates-college population; job--position-work --career--employment

3.词汇亮点:be particular about, an immense opportunity for, experience a sharp increase, put ... above anything else, set a standard.
