01题目分析

本题对比了两类人群的工作满意度，一类是较早决定职业道路并一路走到底的人，另一类则是频繁更换工作的人。

较早决定职业道路并一路走到底的人，会深耕一个领域，长期在同一岗位同一公司就职，或在同一领域进行创业：

稳定的行业深耕，对于工作满意度会有正向积极的影响，首先，Choosing to stay with one firm/field over a long period of time can be a great option to“build”a career.力气都往一处用，会经常迎来可见的收获，成功的几率也会大大提升。

随着在一个岗位上经验的不断增加，工作者的价值也在不断的增加,比如假设我们一直在一家公司中深耕：

As you gain experience and knowledge unique to your firm,your value to the organization increases.

With that increased value,you typically have more responsibilities,as well as a stronger influence in future company strategic decisions.

That company’s specific knowledge uniquely positions you to be an internal“expert”due to your time invested there.

变成一个“in-house”expert之后我们自己的自信心也会提升，自我价值也会得以实现becoming an“in-house”expert is great for your confidence and self-worth，这一切都会提升职业的幸福感

但这并不代表频繁更换工作就全部都是弊端，There are pros and cons associated with changing jobs frequently as well.

频繁更换工作的第1个好处就是，我们可以不断学到新知识，技能得以提升

Some of the more obvious benefits are that you have the potential to accelerate your learning and overall skills development as you move from firm to firm.

很多年轻人更换工作，除了换公司换岗位外，也会挑战行业的转变，比如从IT岗跳到销售岗等等，不得不说，在变动频发的时代，如果能有多领域技能傍身，职业护城河不断的被拓宽，抗风险能力也就会大大增强。

You can potentially gain valuable,broader experience as you work for different organizations,and those skills ideally lead to you developing into a well-rounded professional with deeper experiences—and greater marketability.

其实工作就和结婚一样，有些人早早成家，过着快乐和谐的家庭生活，也有些人晚婚晚育，在自己感觉可以稳定下来前，一直在keep looking，自在自由。很难去说哪种形式生活的更幸福，更不能论断谁对谁错，一千个家庭有一千个特殊情况，冷暖自知，任何一种选择都一定有好有坏。

而对每一个人而言satisfying working life的定义也都有所不同，有的人看中income and benefits，薪资福利高会令其更幸福，有的人看中职业的长期发展long-term development，还有人更看重自己在公司的言语权，所以在自己的职业选择中the right answer is what’s right for you

02范文分析

It is true that some people know from an early age what career they want to pursue,and they are happy to spend the rest of their lives in the same profession.While I accept that this may suit many people,I believe that others enjoy changing careers and seeking job satisfaction in different ways.

开头段：背景给出+表态

作者的观点不是绝 对的同意或绝 对的不同意，而是阐明了同意一些人会因此获得职场满足感，但仍有其他人会喜欢不停的更换工作

Spend the rest of their lives用来替换keep to it

enjoy和seeking job satisfaction用来替换have a satisfying working life

On the one hand,having a defined career path can certainly lead to a satisfying working life.Many people decide as young children what they want to do as adults,and it gives them a great sense of satisfaction to work towards their goals and gradually achieve them.For example,many children dream of becoming doctors,but to realise this ambition they need to gain the relevant qualifications and undertake years of training.In my experience,very few people who have qualified as doctors choose to change career because they find their work so rewarding,and because they have invested so much time and effort to reach their goal.

主体1段：坚持深耕一个领域获得工作满足感

结构：观点-解释-举例-分析

On the other hand,people find happiness in their working lives in different ways.Firstly,not everyone dreams of doing a particular job,and it can be equally rewarding to try a variety of professions;starting out on a completely new career path can be a reinvigorating experience.Secondly,some people see their jobs as simply a means of earning money,and they are happy if their salary is high enough to allow them to enjoy life outside work.Finally,job satisfaction is often the result of working conditions,rather than the career itself.For example,a positive working atmosphere,enthusiastic colleagues,and an inspirational boss can make working life much more satisfying,regardless of the profession.

主体2段：对于很多人而言，尝试各种各样的工作也同样非常的rewarding，也可以获得满足感，另外工作满足感可能不单单只跟是否始终如一的做同一份工作有关，还有一些其他因素也会决定工作满足感

In conclusion,it can certainly be satisfying to pursue a particular career for the whole of one’s life,but this is by no means the only route to fulfilment.Trying various professions can be equally satisfying for some people.
