英語四級作文
走進大學，意味著從學生向社會人過渡的開始。怎樣在學習的同時增加自己的閱歷，豐富生活，是許多大學生面臨的問題。假期打工成為了許多人的選擇。
Summer Job
The summer job is a tradition among students of American universities. Long before the end of the school year, students begin their search for jobs during vacation (June, July, and August). Students send letters to businesses, talk to employers about job opportunities during the summer, and ask friends and relatives to be on the lookout for jobs for them.① By June the students have usually solved the problem and begin to make preparations for leaving their books to enter the business world.②
Reasons for wanting a summer job are different from student to student. Some work to help pay their school expenses; others work to gain experience in their chosen professions; still others work just for the fun of it.
Typist, construction worker, salesman, lifeguard, and waiter — these are some of the more common jobs that students try to find during the summer months. But many young people find work that is a little more unusual.

行文點評
本文是一篇介紹summer job的文章。第一段重點描述大學生找工作的過程，作者在首段首句明確提出了文章的主題：暑期打工。進而又指出學生尋找打工機會的不同方式，或自己投信尋找，或向同學、親友尋求幫助。第二段主要解釋學生暑期打工的動機。最后一段列舉了學生打工中經常選擇的職業。
整篇文章雖然短小，但介紹全面。第一段中long before the end of the school year, during the summer, by June等幾個時間狀語的使用使文章結構緊湊，第二段中三個排比句的運用 (some …; others…; still others)，一氣呵成。

暑期打工
暑期打工是美國大學生的一種傳統。在學年結束很早以前，學生們就開始尋找假期中(六月、七月、和八月)的工作了。學生們寄信給一些公司，向老板詢問暑期工作的機會，或是讓親戚、朋友幫忙打探有沒有合適他們的工作。到了六月，這個問題通常已經搞定，學生們也在準備著離開書本，進入工作的世界了。
學生想要暑期打工的原因各不相同。有些人為了籌集學費而工作，一些人打工是為自己選擇的職業積累經驗，還有些人打工僅僅是因為覺得好玩而已。
打字員、建筑工人、推銷員、救生員、服務生——這些都是學生在暑假幾個月中通常選擇的工作。當然，也有很多年輕人能夠找到特別一些的工作。
