英语四级作文
走进大学，意味着从学生向社会人过渡的开始。怎样在学习的同时增加自己的阅历，丰富生活，是许多大学生面临的问题。假期打工成为了许多人的选择。
Summer Job
The summer job is a tradition among students of American universities. Long before the end of the school year, students begin their search for jobs during vacation (June, July, and August). Students send letters to businesses, talk to employers about job opportunities during the summer, and ask friends and relatives to be on the lookout for jobs for them.① By June the students have usually solved the problem and begin to make preparations for leaving their books to enter the business world.②
Reasons for wanting a summer job are different from student to student. Some work to help pay their school expenses; others work to gain experience in their chosen professions; still others work just for the fun of it.
Typist, construction worker, salesman, lifeguard, and waiter — these are some of the more common jobs that students try to find during the summer months. But many young people find work that is a little more unusual.

行文点评
本文是一篇介绍summer job的文章。第一段重点描述大学生找工作的过程，作者在首段首句明确提出了文章的主题：暑期打工。进而又指出学生寻找打工机会的不同方式，或自己投信寻找，或向同学、亲友寻求帮助。第二段主要解释学生暑期打工的动机。最后一段列举了学生打工中经常选择的职业。
整篇文章虽然短小，但介绍全面。第一段中long before the end of the school year, during the summer, by June等几个时间状语的使用使文章结构紧凑，第二段中三个排比句的运用 (some …; others…; still others)，一气呵成。

暑期打工
暑期打工是美国大学生的一种传统。在学年结束很早以前，学生们就开始寻找假期中(六月、七月、和八月)的工作了。学生们寄信给一些公司，向老板询问暑期工作的机会，或是让亲戚、朋友帮忙打探有没有合适他们的工作。到了六月，这个问题通常已经搞定，学生们也在准备着离开书本，进入工作的世界了。
学生想要暑期打工的原因各不相同。有些人为了筹集学费而工作，一些人打工是为自己选择的职业积累经验，还有些人打工仅仅是因为觉得好玩而已。
打字员、建筑工人、推销员、救生员、服务生——这些都是学生在暑假几个月中通常选择的工作。当然，也有很多年轻人能够找到特别一些的工作。
