- It's time to graduate and it's time to find a job. Susan, why do we need to find a job?
- We need to work is because we need money to live. We need money for food and clothes and to pay for our house. We need money for many different things, and only when we work, we can earn money. And work can also help us feel that we are useful.
- But you know it's hard for a new graduate to find a job right now.
- Yes, it is really hard. But you must believe that you will find a suitable job finally. When you work, you can accumulate a lot of experience. Besides, you need to learn a lot of things while you are working.
- I've been fed up with study.
- But whether you like it or not, there ' s a trend of life-long study to make sure that we can keep ourselves up with the high developing society. And you need to accept this concept positively.
- Oh, my. Why there are still so many things to learn after graduation?
- You have no choice, so you'd better adjust your thoughts to be ready to learn anything at any time.
