【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。

毫不夸张的说，当谈到大学毕业之后的选择时，那些站在人生十字路口的人们有着不同的看法，有些人会选择继续深造，有些人则选择出国留学。于我而言，当我面临在国企和合资企业工作的选择时，我会选择前者。
总之，我想，如果我能在国企里工作，我将会过的很幸福。

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，我更喜欢读研。以下两点原因可以解释我的选择。
一方面，我是为了想学习而打算继续学业因为我热爱正在做的事情。事实上，热爱学科可能是读研最好的理由。另一方面，通过读研，我们可以提高就业前景。研究生层次的专业学习可以增强你的技能，使你成为强有力的求职者。
一、写作思路：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：工作还是读研，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读研，中间短路具体阐释之所以做出读研选择的原因是由于兴趣和未来的工作前景。结尾段说明无论哪一种选择本身并无对错之分。
二、亮点表达：
1.upongraduation在毕业之时，upon后面加有动态含义的名词，表示在……的时候;类似用法还有on，例如onmyarrival当我到达的时候
2.atoughdecision艰难的决定
3.AcanbeattributedtoBA可以被归因于B
4.drivingforces动因
5.continuemystudiesfortheirownsake为了学习而学习
6.astrongerjobapplicant强有力的求职者
7.reachone’sownconclusion做出自己的决定
