【参考范文 · 157 词】写作无唯一标准答案，以下为达标示范
Graduation confronts many students with a tough decision: to enter the workplace immediately or to continue with further study. After careful thought, I have decided to go to a graduate school rather than take a job right away.
The main reason is that graduate study allows me to deepen my knowledge in my chosen field. My four years of college have only given me a general foundation, and I feel eager to explore my major more thoroughly. What is more, a master's degree will strengthen my competitiveness in today's demanding job market, where employers increasingly value candidates with advanced expertise. As someone who hopes to become a researcher, I believe further education is a necessary step toward that goal.
For these reasons, pursuing a graduate degree is the wiser choice for me. Although working could bring earlier financial independence, I am convinced that investing in my education now will pay off far more in the long run.
【参考译文】
毕业让许多学生面临一个艰难的抉择：是立刻步入职场，还是继续深造。经过慎重考虑，我决定去读研究生，而不是马上找工作。
主要原因在于，读研能让我在所选专业上深入钻研。四年本科只给了我一个泛泛的基础，我很想更透彻地探索自己的专业。此外，硕士学位能增强我在如今竞争激烈的就业市场中的竞争力，用人单位越来越看重具备专业深度的求职者。作为一个希望成为研究者的人，我相信继续深造是迈向这一目标的必要一步。
出于这些原因，攻读研究生学位对我来说是更明智的选择。尽管工作能带来更早的经济独立，但我确信，现在投资于自己的教育，长远来看回报会大得多。
【第 1 段】两句点明抉择并表态。第一句 Graduation confronts many students with a tough decision 用点出抉择的句架把两条路摆出来，第二句 I have decided to go to a graduate school rather than take a job 当场表态，落实了 outline 第一段点明抉择并表态的功能，一开头就对上 make a choice between the two。
【第 2 段】主因加追加理由加个人支撑。The main reason is that... 引出主因深化专业，What is more, a master's degree will strengthen my competitiveness 追加求职竞争力，末句 As someone who hopes to become a researcher 补个人志向，三层落实 explain the reasons for your choice，理由具体不空泛。
【第 3 段】让步后重申立场。Although working could bring earlier financial independence 一句让步承认就业好处，随即 pursuing a graduate degree is the wiser choice for me 重申立场，收尾稳住全文选择、不摇摆。
这道题到底要写什么、立意是什么
动笔前先钉死本题的核心写作任务与读者语域 ，再定中心立意与要展开的要点 —— 这些是本题特有的内容判断，不是通用套路。
二选一并说清理由
一句话钉死：在就业与读研之间明确选定一方，并 explain the reasons for your choice。注意 make a choice between the two 里的 a choice 是单数，意味着必须落定一个，全文立场不能摇摆；the reasons 用复数，提示你理由不止一条，要给出 2 到 3 条。
面向阅卷人的正式议论
本题是无具体收信人的议论文（write an essay），不需要称呼语和落款，也不要写真实姓名。语域按面向阅卷人的正式书面语来写：用完整句、少用口语缩略和 gonna/wanna 之类，观点句和连接词要清楚。
选读研并说明原因
本篇中心：毕业后我选择继续读研而非直接就业，因为它能深化专业、增强竞争力。这直接回应了 make a choice between the two 和 explain the reasons for your choice。选就业其实同样能拿高分，关键不在选哪个，而在立场明确、理由扎实。
- 深化专业打牢根基 第一条理由（个人成长角度）：四年本科只给了泛泛的基础，读研能在本专业深挖，把知识学扎实。
- 增强就业竞争力 第二条理由（求职角度）：如今用人单位越来越看重高学历和专业深度，硕士文凭能在竞争激烈的就业市场里加分。
- 结合个人志向 第三条支撑（个人情境）：以我想做研究工作为例，读研是通向这一目标的必要一步，让理由不再空泛。
怎么分段、每段写什么、能套哪些句架
按写作家族给出现成的段落框架（每段承担什么功能），并为每段配可直接套用的 功能句架（留出填本题内容的空位）。段序与上方参考范文一一对应。
- 第 1 段 点明抉择并表态 开门见山写出毕业时的两难，并当场亮出我选读研，对应 make a choice between the two。
- 第 2 段 分层论证理由 用主因加追加理由的方式，把深化专业、增强竞争力两条讲透，再补一句个人志向，落实 explain the reasons for your choice。
- 第 3 段 让步加重申立场 先一句让步承认就业的好处，再重申读研是更明智的选择，收束全文、稳住立场。
落点：毕业生面临就业还是继续深造的抉择（take a job in a company 与 go to a graduate school），经过思考我决定读研而非立刻工作。
- 点出抉择 Graduation confronts many students with a tough decision: to ___ or to ___.
- 当场表态 After careful thought, I have decided to ___ rather than ___.
落点：主因是读研能深挖本专业、补上本科只有泛泛基础的短板；追加理由是硕士学历能在竞争激烈的就业市场增强竞争力；再以我希望成为研究者为个人支撑，说明深造是必要一步。
- 引出主因 The main reason is that ___ allows me to ___.
- 追加理由 What is more, ___ will strengthen ___, where ___.
- 结合个人 As someone who ___, I believe ___ is a necessary step toward ___.
落点：让步承认就业能带来更早的经济独立，随即重申对我而言投资教育在长远看更值，读研是更明智的选择。
- 让步转折 Although ___ could bring ___, I am convinced that ___.
- 收束重申 For these reasons, ___ is the wiser choice for me.
本题在四个评分维度怎样算达标、容易在哪丢分
按阅卷四维（内容切题 / 结构连贯 / 语言准确 / 字数格式）给出本题达标要点，并把最容易踩的低分写法摆出来 + 给改法 —— 这是写作版的「狠拆诱人错项」。
- 内容切题 选一方且给足理由 本题要害是 make a choice between the two 必须落定一个，且 explain the reasons for your choice 要给出理由；只要通篇立场明确、理由到位就切题。
- 结构连贯 三段各司其职有路标 本题三段应分别承担表态、论证、重申，靠 The main reason / What is more / Although / For these reasons 让论证脉络清晰。
- 语言准确 态度因果句式要用对 本题多用 I have decided to、The main reason is that、I am convinced that 等表态与因果句式，用对了既准确又能凸显立场。
- 字数格式 卡住上下限用三段 本题 You should write at least 120 words but no more than 180 words，低于或超过都失分，三段式最便于把篇幅控在区间内。
- 两边各打五十大板 反面：Working can earn money, and studying can gain knowledge. Both are good choices for graduates.（通篇这样两边都夸，等于没选）。改成：After careful thought, I have decided to go to a graduate school rather than take a job right away. 先把立场钉死。
- 空洞套话堆砌 反面：Study is very important and useful. It is good for my future.（全是没有信息量的口号）。改成：My four years of college have only given me a general foundation, and I feel eager to explore my major more thoroughly. 用自身处境把理由坐实。
- 让步反噬变对比文 反面：结尾又花三四句细数就业能挣钱、能积累经验、能早独立……读完让人以为作者改选就业了。改成：Although working could bring earlier financial independence, I am convinced that investing in my education now will pay off far more in the long run. 一句让步立即回扣立场。
