大学英语四级考试全真预测试卷二答案精析
Part I Writing
【范文】
Nowadays, college students have different career plans. To me, the most ideal job is the one where I can satisfy my appetite for adventures, improve interpersonal skills and hone my foreign language skills. Of all career options, I think flight attendant is one such ideal job.
As a flight attendant, I can travel to many different cities around the world where I will have exotic experiences. My longing for adventures will never be alleviated if I choose to work in an office building. As a globe-trotter, I will also become more skilled in dealing with people because as a flight attendant I will have to serve a lot of passengers with different backgrounds and expectations. What's more, my foreign language skills can be greatly improved since I will be actually speaking the language instead of learning it to pass the test.
All in all, I think being a flight attendant is the most ideal job for me in the future.
【译文】
如今大学生有着不同的职业规划。对我而言,能满足我对冒险的强烈欲望、提高我的人际交往能力并锻炼我的外语能力的工作才是最理想的工作。在所有职业选择中,我认为空乘是这样一个理想的工作。
作为一名空乘,我能前往世界很多不同的城市旅行,可以有异国体验。如果我选择在写字楼里工作,就永远无法缓解我对冒险的渴望。作为一名环球旅行者,我的人际交往能力也会更加娴熟,因为从事空乘工作就要给不同背景和期望的乘客提供服务。此外,我的外语技能也能得到很大程度的提高,因为我会真正用外语讲话,而不是仅仅为了通过考试而学习这门语言。
总之,我认为当一名空乘是我未来最理想的工作。
