　　Part I Writing

　　【寫作思路】

　　本文是關(guān)于對某種社會現(xiàn)象的討論，探討其原因，并提供解決問題的方案。畢業(yè)生就業(yè)壓力大，是目前比較熱門的話題，媒體、社會以及學(xué)生本人都會時 不時的討論，所以文章難度不是很大。文章開篇提出就業(yè)壓力大的問題，畢業(yè)生越來越多，而就業(yè)市場卻保持穩(wěn)定，兩者之間的不平衡，導(dǎo)致畢業(yè)生面臨越來越大的就業(yè)壓力。第二段討論出現(xiàn)這種問題的原因。第一方面，從宏觀上來看，整個世界的經(jīng)濟(jì)危機(jī)影響了就業(yè)市場;第二方面，從學(xué)校招生來看，熱門專業(yè)人數(shù)過多，結(jié)果供過于求，而冷門專業(yè)學(xué)生很少，結(jié)果供不應(yīng)求。第三段針對第二段的原因，探討相應(yīng)的解決方案。從政府的角度出發(fā)，要盡可能的采取各種手段幫助經(jīng)濟(jì)恢復(fù)， 幫助學(xué)生就業(yè);從個人角度出發(fā)，要學(xué)會自主選擇，不追潮流，學(xué)習(xí)自己感興趣的，努力提高自身素質(zhì)，增強(qiáng)競爭能力。

　　【參考范文】

　　More and more graduates are going out of universities and entering into the society every year while the demand on the job market remains stable. The college students are facing greater and greater pressure in job-hunting.

　　There are many reasons behind the current phenomenon. To begin with, the economy has been confronted with depression in recent years on a global level, and it takes time for the worldwide economy to recover. What's more, there is an element of irrationality in the enrollment of the campuses. Some hot majors have enrolled too many students, and many people compete for one position after graduation, whereas the majors with little attention have few students, and more graduates are needed than the campus can supply.

　　The solution to this problem lies with both the government as a whole and the individual in specific. The government takes whatever measures possible to help the economy recover and to create more job opportunities for the applicants. And for the individual students, it is better to study what they are interested in and to gain experience through practice, thus better prepared for the society.

　　Will Electronic Medical Records Improve Health Care?

　　Electronic health records (EHRs) have received a lot of attention since the Obama administration committed $19 billion in stimulus funds earlier this year to encourage hospitals and health care facilities to digitize patient data and make better use of information technology. The healthcare industry as a whole, however, has been slow to adopt information technology and integrate computer systems, raising the question of whether the push to digitize will result in information that empowers doctors to make better-informed decisions or a morass of disconnected data.

　　The University of Pittsburgh Medical Center (UPMC) knows firsthand how difficult it is to achieve the former, and how easily an EHR plan can fall into the latter. UPMC has spent five years and more than $1 billion on information technology systems to get ahead of the EHR issue. While that is more than five times as much as recent estimates say it should cost a hospital system, UPMC is a mammoth network consisting of 20 hospitals as well as 400 doctors' offices, outpatient sites and long-term care facilities employing about 50,000 people.
