the reasons for your

【题目一参考范文】
For
undergraduates college students, deciding what to
do upon graduation can be a tough
decision to say the least. From my
point of view, I prefer to pursuing postgraduate
students. My
choice can be attributed
to the following two driving forces.
For one thing, I want to
continue my studies for their own sake because I
love what I am
doing. In fact, having a
passion for my subject is possibly the best reason
to go into postgraduate
education.
For
another
thing,
entering
into
a
postgraduate
school,
I
can
improve
my
job
prospects.
Specializing at postgraduate level can make you a
stronger job applicant.
Actually, when
in comes time for university graduates to decide
their next step in life, there
is
no
on right
or
wrong
choice
for everyone.
Rather,
each
students
must
reach
his or
her
own
conclusion.
