【作文範文】
首段：圖畫描述
A simple but enlightening cartoon is given: a master is taking an interview for a job; however, the employer, looking at his resume, responds, “Sorry, kid… Your resume looks good, but you only have a master’s degree … All the other applicants are Ph.D.s!” 

二段：圖畫主題+現象+意義
Evidently, the boss’ attitudes toward degrees can be naturally associated with their blindness in job interviews. Actually, if employers intend to look for ideal applicants, it is significant to consider job-hunters’ authentic competence: professional skills, teamwork spirits and strategic minds. Several examples can be given: professional skills help one to do specific jobs well; teamwork spirits help a team to work efficiently; strategic minds help one to gain a promising future in jobs. It is these qualities that enable employees to contribute a lot to the further development of their firms or organizations. As a matter of fact, intelligent employers in large numbers have come to realize the significance of applicants’ comprehensive qualities. However, in contemporary society, it is common phenomenon for a host of job-hunters to be discriminated in job markets, just because of their lower degrees. 

尾段：觀點+建議+展望
Employers should bear in mind: degrees do not mean one’s competence. I, as a college student, am convinced that it is of great necessity for youngsters to enhance not only our degrees, but also diverse capabilities. 

▼參考譯文
以上圖畫簡單卻發人深省：一個大學碩士正在進行工作面試，但是僱主看着他的簡歷說，“對不起，孩子，你的簡歷看上去很好，但是你只有碩士學歷，其他的應聘者都是博士學歷！”
很顯然，老闆對學歷的態度反映了他在面試中的無知。實際上，如果僱主想招到理想的員工，重要的是看應聘者的真實才能：專業技術，團隊合作精神和戰略思想。舉一些例子：專業技術能讓一個人做好某種特定的工作，團隊合作精神讓工作有效率，戰略思想讓一個人贏得美好的職業前景。這些品質讓員工更好地爲公司或組織的將來發展而奮鬥。實際上，許多聰明的僱主意識到了應聘者的綜合能力的重要性。然而，在當今社會，許多應聘者因爲低學歷而被歧視是普遍現象。
僱主應謹記“學歷並不等於能力”。作爲一個大學生，我堅信我們年輕人不僅有必要提升學歷，還要發展多方面的能力。
