我们今天一起来看9月2日刚过去的这场考试机经中的一道题目：
Your friend is going to take a part-time job in college. Please describe the advantages and disadvantages of doing a part-time.
如果大家翻看历年真题，会发现关于part-time job的题目比较多，有些是问兼职工作的优缺点，像上面这道题目，有些会把问题设置成三选一，让你来选一个喜欢的兼职工作，还有些会问你是否同意大学生做兼职工作。仔细想想，虽然问题设置不一样，但万变不离其宗，答题的时候你都应该讲某一个具体工作，可以从这个工作中获得什么，或者因为这个工作失去什么，也就是优缺点。这样一想，这个话题下的题目就变得不那么难答了。
比如上面这道题目，大家自己练习的时候，可以首先做一个brainstorm，先想出几个优点和缺点。这里给大家罗列几个：
advantages
disadvantages
earn money
less time with family and friends
hands-on experience
tiring
make more friends
safety problems
explore passion
negative effect on their study
然后进行话题拓展，develop your idea。选一个你觉得很有话说的观点，拓展的时候记得使用课堂上学过的拓展方法。虽然你可能已经用过很多次，但是仍然要继续在练习中使用才会熟能生巧。我来给大家做个示范。
比如earn money这个观点我要采用cause – effect因果关系来拓展。想想为什么大学要兼职赚钱呢，很可能因为没零花钱，就买不了自己喜欢的东西，而有钱就能买。梳理一条思路就是 little pocket money- can’t afford- salary- buy whatever I want。
再比如缺点给大家示范less time with family and friends，这次我选择example和figure的拓展方式。我会举一个身边的人的例子来说明兼职工作影响跟亲朋好友相处的时间。比如我的cousin，自从她兼职以后我就很难见到她。梳理一下逻辑就是 my cousin- part-time job in college library- hardly have time to hang out with her- once/month。这里once a month 就是数字说明法。
最后，把刚才的思路连贯起来，就可以得到如下范文：
I believe there are both advantages and disadvantages for college students to take part-time jobs.
You know, it’s such a good thing to earn some pocket money from a part-time job. As a college student, I don’t want my parents’ money any more. Without a part-time job, I would not be able to afford anything, like my favorite cellphone or a fancy dress. So I need the salary to buy whatever I want.
However, doing a part-time job means I probably would have less time to spend with family and friends. Actually, my cousin Amy worked as an assistant in the college library last semester. She hardly had any time to hang out with me or her friends. I only got to see her once a month!
