【参考范文】

This picture represents a vigorous situation that nearly every graduate student will face: seeking jobs, further studying, starting a business or going aboard. Whichever choice they make will affect their life for good, making decisions is indeed difficult for people in their early 20s.

Without exception, everyone has to make difficult choices from time to time, especially at such an intersection of life. While some choices are easy, one cannot avoid the task of making difficult decisions. Sufficient evidence has proved that choices are often directly related to one’s happiness, which may be tough for university graduates, who face a hard and crucial decision upon graduating. However, as is known to all, every individual is different, and one must take the factors of one’s personal life into consideration. In addition to an awareness of individual characteristics, making the right choice also depends on correct self-appraisal.

In order to choose correctly, one must be both realistic and self-aware. Furthermore, once having made a decision, one should seriously accept and pursue the path one has chosen, and strive towards the realization of one’s goal with spirit.

想要做出正确的选择，一个人必须要既立足现实，又要明确目标。此外，一旦做出选择，就必须认真对待并追逐选择的道路，用心去实现自己的目标。
