Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write an essay on how to balance job responsibilities and personal interests. You should write at least 150 words but no more than 200 words.

As society become more technologically advanced, there are often a gap between one’s work and personal interests. Many people usually work overtime and are too drained by everyday routine to fully utilize their spare time to do what they long for. This phenomenon is common and thus warning to remind us to seek a balance between job responsibilities and personal interests.

First of all, one must be able to distinguish work time from spare time. When we are doing our obligated tasks, we should be dedicated to them and minimize the influence of external distractions, including our urge to practice our interests. Also, we need to commit to memory that the job responsibilities are bound for us, so we are supposed to finish our work in time and finish it well. In this way, once we get off work we can wholeheartedly relax ourselves by our personal interests. Sports, artistic work, extensive reading and online entertainments all help build up a better mood and morale for us.

To summarize my aforementioned perspectives, we should be aware of our occupational responsibilities and be committed to do our best. Only in this way can we fully enjoy doing the activities we fancy without worrying about unfinished tasks.

参考译文

我们的社会正经历着技术进步，因此在人的工作与个人兴趣之间总有差异。很多人经常加班，被日常工作耗尽了精力，而不能好好利用闲暇时间去做自己渴望已久的事。这一现象十分常见，也值得我们警惕，提醒我们需要在工作责任和个人兴趣之间找到平衡。

首先，必须把工作时间和闲暇时间区分开来。我们在做需要完成的任务时应该全神贯注，将导致分心的外部因素最小化，包括我们去做自己喜欢的事的渴望。而且，我们要谨记，工作责任与我们息息相关，所以我们理应按时并保证质量地完成自己的工作。这样，下班以后我们就可以全身心地满足自己的兴趣来放松自己。体育运动、艺术活动、扩展阅读和上网消遣都可以让我们心情更好、斗志更盛。

总结我的以上观点，我们应该明确自己的工作职责并尽力做到最好。只有这样，我们才能完全享受我们喜爱的活动而不用担心工作未完成。
