【范文】
Advantages of a Job Interview
Now, when a person is hunting for① a job, there will always be a job interview and I think the job interview has a lot of advantages. Job interview is a good form in which interviewers and interviewees can know about each other.
In the interview, the interviewer can first tell something about the job to the interviewee, such as the wages, the working conditions and something else which is relevant to② the job. Thus the interviewee can decide whether the job is really suitable for him. And furthermore, the job interview is a good chance for the interviewee to give a good impression to the interviewer by his good manner. He can show both his ability and his confidence. The interviewer, at the same time, can figure out③ whether the person is the right one for the job.
In a word④, I think the interview will do good to both the interviewer and the interviewee. By a lucky chance of the interview, the interviewee can find a good job and the interviewer can find a proper person if both of them make the best use of the job interview.
【注释】
①hunt for：寻找
②be relevant to ：与…有关
③figure out：算出；做出决定
④in a word：总而言之
【点评】
这是一篇根据汉语提纲展开的议论文。全文围绕工作面试这个中心展开。三个段落分别针对提纲中的三点提示，首先，概括性地指出面试对面试者和应试者都有益；接着在第二段更详细地指出，面试者可以介绍工资、工作条件等与工作有关的情况，以便让应试者做出决定，应试者也可借此机会给面试者留下一个好印象，并展示自己的能力和自信。第三段，In a word提示作者准备做总结，下文也正是如此，指出面试对面试者和应试者都是一个重要的机会，双方均应好好把握。
