This chart displays a clear overview on the part-time employment rate of students in a college according to their school year. In general, many of the students participate in part-time jobs somehow, regardless of their school year, but apparently those spending the fourth year in college are most likely to work during extracurricular time, with a proportion of 88.24%. 71.93% of the third-graders and 71.13% of the sophomores do part-time jobs respectively, while 67.77% of the freshmen, who have just been at school since September, are undertaking part-time jobs.

Concerning the current schooling system, it is understandable that the majority of the students have such enthusiasm towards part-time jobs. There is a long vacation after each semester, and college students’ schedules are more flexible than high school attendants and official workforces. Therefore, college students are provided with sufficient time to develop themselves by applying for temporary work experiences. Meanwhile, the reason that varies students’ willingness is that seniors are faced with the pressure of employment, making the occupational expertise and thus a prepared mind for occupation more urgent priorities. Freshmen, in the meantime, require the most time to be spent on reviewing and reinforcing their mandatory courses.

Now that this tendency is explicit, it is the college administrators’ responsibilities to help students develop versatility that contains academic performance and part-time experience, while students themselves should balance study and work and make part-time experience a conducive point instead of a burden on academy.

【参考译文】

这张图表展示了关于一所高校不同年级的学生参加兼职工作的比率的详细信息概览。总的来说，很多大一到大四的学生都或多或少参加了兼职工作，但显然大四学生更可能在课余时间工作，比例达88.24%。分别有71.93%的大三学生和71.13%的大二学生会从事兼职工作，而九月份刚刚入学的大一学生有67.77%在做兼职。

从现在的教育制度角度来看，可以理解大部分学生都在做兼职的原因。每个学期结束后有一个很长的假期，而大学生的时间表也比高中生和正式参加工作的人更灵活。因此，大学生们有充足的时间去通过申请临时工的方式来发展自己的能力。同时，学生参加兼职的意愿不同是因为大四学生面临找工作的压力，使得职业技能和随之产生的提前进入工作状态的能力更为紧迫。与此同时，大一学生需要把大部分时间花在复习和巩固必修课上。

既然这个趋势已经很清楚，学校行政部门应该负起帮助学生全面发展的责任，包括学术表现和兼职工作经验；同时，学生自己也应该在学习和工作中找到平衡，使兼职经历成为一个加分项，而不是对学业的负担。

【题目分析】

本篇作文属于图表（chart）类作文，需要分析数据变化以及数据间的关系。表格涉及两个维度：学生年级和从事兼职的人数比例，需要把每个年级学生对应的兼职比例数据对应并作对比，并根据生活经验和常识来分析产生此种现象的原因。

【文章大纲】

第一段：首先点明图表含义——高校学生因学年不同，兼职情况也有所不同，并描述各学年学生做兼职的人数占比。

第二段：先总结数据——大部分学生都会做兼职，再分析原因——时间因素和毕业压力。

第三段：给出自己的观点——学校可以帮助学生找兼职，学生自己要维持学习和工作的平衡。
