范文赏析

Test for National Civil Servants

In recent years, there have been more and more people who have participated in the test for national civil servants. And among them, the highly-educated, like masters and doctors, take quite a large percentage. The craze in civil servant test has attracted widespread attention. Personally , among all the factors that account for this trend, the following are worth mentioning.

引言部分 ：作者先交代背景知识 ，注意这里不是照搬题干的内容，而是换种说法（如果题 干部分的内容较多，可以进行简单的概述 ），然后用personally引出自己的观点。

Above all, nowadays college students face great employment pressure. Civil servant, as one of the most stable professions in today’s China, becomes their preferable choice. Moreover, in recent years, the welfare and salary of civil servants have been improved greatly, which undoubtedly attracts many people. Besides, the high social status of civil servants is an important factor drawing many people to take part in the civil servant test.

主体部分：作者从学生的就业压力、公务员的福利薪资和社会地位三个方面说明国考热的原 因。连接词分别使用了above all ，moreover和besides ，当然也可以使用firstly，secondly ，and lastly等。

In my opinion, this fad in civil servant test will continue in the following years. However, in the long run, it doesn’t do good to the development of the nation. If most high quality talents     gather in the government departments, it might lead to a waste of resources. Therefore, both the individuals and the government should have a more objective recognition of the civil servant test craze.

总结部分 ：作者用in my opinion来引出自己对国考热的预测：国考热会继续，但是从长期 的角度来说，对国家的发展是不利的，因此政府和个人都应该更客观地看待这个事情。整个文章都体现了一种客观的思考 ，文风正式稳健。
