2. What do you think of the unemployment problem in China?

这道题目考查对失业问题的看法，其中自然包括失业问题产生的原因、严重性和解决的办法。对于大学生而言，他们虽不会遭遇“失业”，但面临着严峻的就业形势。中国劳动力严重过剩，劳动力市场供过于求。考生可以结合自己实际来思考、分析当今的失业问题。

Candidate 1: In these years, the unemployment problem in China is getting worse and worse. I think there are three reasons.

Firstly, the large number of population in China leads to the situation that many people compete for the only one job. If you do not have enough abilities you will miss the chance. Secondly, it is the result of our country entering into the WTO. With the opening of the market, the overseas labor flows in and takes part in the competition for the employment. Thirdly, it is a reflection of the development of the modernization. For instance, the factories drop their out-of-date machines and use the modern devices which need fewer workers to operate. For this reason, the factories have to cut down the number of employees.

Perhaps we cannot change this situation immediately, but we can improve it as much as we can. The government should take care some measures such as exploiting the market, improving the quality of education and so on. As a university student, we have to improve our professional skills, deepen the understanding of the world and work harder in order to avoid the unemployment.

Candidate 2: As we all know, China has a large number of population which leads too many people unemployed. Thus it causes too many issues to society.

In my point of view, there are two main reasons for the problem. On one hand, with economy growing, there will be higher demand for workers'professional skills and managers' innovative concepts. Many people can not reach this so that they would be fired. On the other hand, even though there are many vacant jobs, supplies greatly exceed demands in China.

I think we should do a lot to change this situation, such as introducing incentive programs to encourage people to work in the rural and the western regions, improving the encourage people to work in the rural and the western regions, improving the educational level and implementing laws and so on.

I believe that the situation would be getting better in the future.

Candidate 1首先给出了失业的三个原因。第一，中国人口众多，许多人竞争一个职位。第二，中国加入WTO带来了许多外来竞争。第三，随着经济的发展，现代化的进程加快。设备的更新减少了对劳动力的需要。Candidate 1指出失业问题的解决是个长期的过程。但是我们可以从各方面做出努力，政府应该采取一定措施，如提高教育质量等。作为大学生而言，我们应该提高专业技术水平，以备竞争和挑战；Candidate 2也首先分析了失业的两个原因。一方面，随着经济的发展，企业对员工的专业技能和创新精神的要求也就更高，在这一过程，许多员工自然被淘汰。另一方面，中国劳动力市场供远远过于求，导致一部分人失业。我们应该通过引进激励机制，鼓励人们到西部就业等方式解决失业问题。
