范文：
The data given illustrate the labour force allocation in six industries in 1999 and 2009.
In 1999, manufacturing employed the largest proportion of work force at 15%. Retail ranked the second of the list, hiring 11.8% of the total labour force, which was followed by healthcare with the percentage of 9.6. Fewer people worked in construction (7.6%), education (6.8%) or tourism (5.5%) in comparison.
However, in 2009, the labour distribution changed in all these industries. On the one hand, the proportion of people involved in manufacturing and retail reduced to 9.8% and 10.7% respectively. On the other hand, the percentages in the other four fields increased to different extents. To be specific, there was a growth in healthcare recruitment, to 11.3% of national workforce, which means that healthcare had become the most labour-intensive sector. The same year also witnessed an expanded employment in the other three industries, with each accounting for over 7%.
From the chart it can be concluded that labours concentration was shifting from manufacturing and retail to healthcare during the decade from 1999 to 2009.
相关练习素材及备考建议：
动态表格题的练习可以参考剑6test2。不过，剑6题目的数字较多，需要首先按照大小分组，然后写趋势。今天的题目数字较少，所以不必分组。
大作文：Some people believe that studying in a college or university is the best way for students to prepare for their future career. Others think they should leave school as soon as possible to develop their career through work experience.
相关题目：
Some people think that a large proportion of young people should go to university; however, others think that we should encourage them to become car mechanics, builders etc to meet the needs of the community. Discuss both these views and give your own opinion. (2009.09.05)
Nowadays, it is widely accepted that social skills are as important as good qualifications for success in a job. Do you agree or disagree? (2012.01.14)
The qualities a person needs to become successful in today’s world cannot be learned at a university or any similar academic institution. To what extent do you agree or disagree? (2011.09.03)
Some people believe that theoretical subjects (such as mathematics, philosophy and economy) should not be taught in university because universities should focus on practical subjects (such as marketing, computer programming and accounting). To what extent do you agree or disagree?
大学教育与职业技术教育的最大区别在于理论课程的学习，所谓的公共课。大一大二的这些理论课程为之后的专业课提供了理论基础，令学生更好的理解专业知识。理论课程的一大特点是相对稳定，不像专业知识更新那么快。另外，这些课程还锻炼和培养学生的思考能力和方法。上面这些素质使学生具备持续学习的能力，这在快速变化的今天至关重要。无论科学技术如何变化，学习能力使一个人能够永远跟上时代的步伐。
社会对劳动力的需求是多层次的。当大家蜂拥进入大学的时候，社会上技术工人变得紧缺，人才市场变得不平衡。于是技术工人就业比以前更容易，工资也比以前高。另外，工作早意味着早挣钱和更丰富的工作和社会经验。这些都是雇主看重的素质，因为雇主可以节省培训的费用，同时还可以得到更高的工作效率。

题目 |
Some people believe that studying in a college or university is the best way for students to prepare for their successful career. However, others prefer to get a job as soon as leave school to develop their career through work experience. Discuss both these views and give your own opinion. |
|
开头段【背景句】 |
Under the fierce competition of job hunting, people have long been doubtful about the contribution of college or university education to career success. 在激烈的竞争压力之下，人们长期以来就开始怀疑大学教育对成功的职业生涯是否大有裨益。 |
|
中间段1 大学教育对将来事业成功的好处（这段中论据后面建议举例） |
1. 在大学校园里面，人们有更多的机会学习理论知识。而这些理论知识能使学生更全面地掌握不同学科的概念和原理，为他们将来成为某一领域的专家做准备。On campus, people have much more exposure to theoretical knowledge, which does help students to gain a full understanding of concepts and principles of different subjects and prepares them to be experts in some field. 2. 事实上，主要在大学里教授的理论知识也具有对实践的指导意义，这一点也被广泛地认识到了。In fact, it is widely recognized that theoretical knowledge, which mainly taught in university, also has practical implications. |
|
中间段2 工作经验对将来事业成功的好处& 让步 |
不可否认，工作经验确实使人们学到一些重要的技能，而这些技能在学校的课堂上却涉及不多，比如社交合作能力就是一个很好的例子。Admittedly, job experience equips people with significant lessons that have not been emphasized on in school, and social network is a case in point. 但是，对于某个学科，若没有全面、科学的观念，人们会觉得有效解决工作中的问题变得很难。换句话说，缺少专业知识是那些没有受过大学教育的人职业成功道路上的一大障碍。However, without comprehensive and scientific view of a certain subject, people feel hard to solve problems in work effectively and efficiently. In other words, lack of expertise becomes the very barricade on their way to career success. |
|
结尾段 |
我不否认有很多没上过大学但是职业依旧十分成功的例子，但是在知识为导向的当今社会，我们可以看出这样的例子会越来越少见。因此，如果有机会，还是建议学生要读完大学再开始工作。I am not denying that there are quite some success stories of people without college education. Meanwhile, we can also tell that in such a knowledge-oriented society, such cases are rarer to be witnessed. Therefore, it is more advisable for people, if given chances, to enter colleges and universities before starting their jobs. |

范文：
School leavers always have to make such decision whether to go to university or an occupational college so as to start working as soon as possible. Which road is more likely to lead to a brightprospect of career? (时间状语从句+疑问句)
Most people would favor higher education, with some undeniable arguments. Firstly university students are equipped with both practical and theoretical knowledge and skills which areconsidered to better prepare them for their future career. The reason is that degree holders tend to see things in a bigger picture due to the systematic thinking trained in theoretical subjectswhich are basically what differentiates higher education from vocational one. Theory learning also gives university students a competitive edge in adapting to the rapid technological advancein modern world. This flexibility and thinking abilities may explain why undergraduates are generally better paid at work. It seems that a decent academic qualification can guarantee a decent job. (定语从句+被动句+表语从句+非谓语+表语从句+动名词+宾语从句+形式主语)
However, this does not mean (that) tertiary education is the only way to a successful career. Occupational education is believed to better satisfy the variety of needs in a society. When most people choose to be professionals, leaving fewer to be car mechanics or builders, technical workers are in increasing demand. As a result, they are now paid well, in some cases even better than a professional. In addition, starting working early means accumulated working and social experience, which are highly valued by many employers who would expect cost saving of job training, effective communication and high working efficiency. Other qualities possessed by a skilled worker such as a mature manner to deal with complex issues can mainly be achieved in adynamic working condition. (宾语从句+被动句+时间从句+非谓语+动名词+定语从句)
My own opinion is that in any society there is demand for workers at different levels from professional to technical to non-skilled, and therefore anyone can find his or her position. In other words, either going to university or attending a vocational college can be a wise choicedepending on one’s interest or personal traits. Only when one is doing a job he or she has passion for, can he or she achieve the best performance. As an old Chinese saying goes, ‘every profession produces its own topmost master’.
