Dear Professor Smith,
Thank you for trusting me and let me plan this debate. Because the rapid development of metro system has created both opportunities and problems, I decided to entitle this debate “Are More Metro Lines Needed?”
The debate will be a win-or-lose one in which one side of debaters supports the construction of more metro lines and the other side opposes it. I will rent a venue on Sunday morning and it will suit 50 people including the debaters, the judges and the audience. To start the debate, I will present the background of this debate. Debaters will state their opinions, collect the weakness of the opponents’ arguments and make final statements. The judges will then have a discussion and decide which side will win.
Please give me some suggestions on my arrangement. Under your guidance, I am confident that this debate will be successful.
Yours sincerely,
Li Ming

亲爱的史密斯教授：
感谢您信任我并让我设计此次辩论赛。因为地铁系统的快速发展在创造机会的同时也导致了问题，我决定把辩论赛的题目定为“是否还需要建造更多的地铁线路？”
这次辩论赛是非胜即负的，一方要支持建设更多的地铁，而另一方要反对建设更多地铁。我会在周日上午租用一处足够容纳50人（包括辩手、评委和观众）的场地。在辩论赛的开始，我会提出辩论背景。辩手要陈述他们的观点，从另一方的观点中寻找弱点然后做最终陈述。然后评委会将进行讨论并决定哪一方赢得辩论。
请对我的安排多多指教。在您的指导之下，我有信心把这次辩论赛办成功。
诚挚的，
李明

This column chart gives a clear overview on the choices of graduates in a certain college in 2013 and 2018. In 2013, 68.1 percent of the graduates sought employment after finishing education but this percentage has dropped noticeably to 60.7% in 2018. Contrary to this decline, only 26.3 percent of the graduates opted for continued education in 2013 but there were 34% in 2018. Another change is the doubled percentage of “entrepreneurial” students who determined to start a business, though the percentage remained low.
These changes originates from the following reasons. First of all, job market continues to approach the point of saturation, which somehow pushes students to acquire a more desired and higher degree to make them more competitive in job hunting. Another possible reason that drives undergraduates keen on postgraduate degrees is their uncertainty about their future. In fact, an increasing number of students haven’t even decided what to do after graduation. They think they might as well spend more years at school studying before figuring it out.
Bringing my analyses to a conclusion, I consider the changes both positive and worrying. Students’ sense of crisis and competitiveness should be encouraged but escaping from reality is not the right way to face challenges. I suggest college graduates listen to diverse advice to find out what the best option is to them, so that they can better exert their potentials.
参考译文
这张柱形图清楚地概述了2013年和2018年一所高校的毕业生所做的选择。在2013年，68.1%的毕业生结束学业后找工作，而到了2018年，这一百分比显著下降到60.7%。与这一减少相反的是，2013年时只有26.3%的毕业生选择升学，而2018年有34%。还有一个改变是决定创业的“企业型”学生比例翻倍，虽然比例仍然很低。
这些变化产生于以下原因。首先，就业市场继续趋于饱和，这在某种程度上促使学生去读一个更被看好、更高的学位来让自己在找工作时更有竞争力。另一个驱使本科生热衷于读研的可能原因是他们对未来的不确定。事实上，毕业后还没有决定要做什么的学生越来越多，他们认为还不如在想清楚之前，在学校多过几年。
将我的分析加以总结，我认为这一现象既有积极的一面，又令人担忧。学生的危机意识和竞争意识值得鼓励，但逃避现实并不是面对挑战的正确方式。我建议大学毕业生多听取各方面的建议，确定对自己来说最好的选择，从而更好地发挥自己的潜力。
