老题范文：工作/学习压力导致辞职/辍学

写在前面：不时有人问我：怎样才能写出有specific reasons的task2来？我说：用你的经历或所见所闻所读，也可以自编小故事作为例子，只要其对你的观点有强有力的支持，你都可以采纳。最简单的举例论证结构为：说出你的观点（最好是topic sentence）+举例说明+发个人感想或回应topic。下面这道老题就是我按这种写作思路写的。另外，这种题型考得比较多，许多考生只注意分析其cause而忽略了solution，或只喊一下口号，这样不是完全符合题目要求的。我觉得，specific solution(s)很重要。

Nowadays many people stay off job or school due to stress from work or study. You should use specific reasons and your own experience to analyze the cause and offer the solution.

Pressure is always there in some form, whether in the workplace or in our personal lives. If you allow it to control your performance in a negative way, then it becomes stress. I would like to examine the cause of stress, which has led to many people staying off job or school, and offer possible solutions as follows. [58 words]

Firstly, do not overestimate your abilities. It is not uncommon that many arrogant people first overrate themselves before starting a task, then they stay off the job after having found it extremely difficult. These people are pessimistic ones. Actually if they knew who they are they would not place themselves in this plight. Take me for example, I am an architect working for a construction company. Whenever I am given an assignment, I would study it for a couple of days. If it is over my head I would recommend another more capable colleague to complete it. This is the way I am and consequently and more importantly, I never feel stressful at work.. [113 words]

Now let’s turn to academic issue. Everyone knows, stress occurs when you are being asked to do something you are not sure whether you can do. Nowadays, a great deal of students’ fears grow dramatically before the arrival of a big exam as a consequence of not being well prepared for it. Some of them who have flunked many times would rather drop out of school than suffer from humiliations and shame. I experienced tough times when I was a freshman in college. Later I discovered that sufficient preparation could provide me with confidence when commencing exams. Therefore, I stopped attending all social activities a week before the exam and was focused on notes taken in class. For this reason, I enjoyed my school life ever after. (127 words)

After all, we can never escape from the reality of every existence. To stay off job or school is the wrong attitude of which cowards deserve. (26words)
