Winter vacation, for many people, means family reunion and family happiness; It means visiting relatives and friends and spending the Spring Festival together. I used to find a secluded place to travel around the mountains ... As a freshman who just entered the university campus, there is no anxious to return in Xiao Yan. She has found two jobs as a tutor in the tutor center. "I won't go home this Spring Festival." Compared with other girls majoring in Chinese, she is less delicate and more courageous.

Every morning from 9: 00 to 1 1; Afternoon, 3: 00 to 5: 00; ..... This is Xiaowan's working time this winter vacation. The job content is: tutoring two high school students to make up Chinese and geography. At 7 o'clock in the morning in Beijing, the sky is still gray and black, and Xiaowan has walked out of the dormitory with a backpack. Her work place is far from the East Fifth Ring Road, and she has to bump on the bus for nearly two hours when she is unlucky.

In order to finish her work better, she also went to Haidian Bookstore to buy counseling books at her own expense. "The reward is not important, it is important to have a different experience." She said. After counseling, the grades of both children have improved significantly. Watching them progress is like seeing the fruits of their own efforts. This kind of happiness is beyond money. She said: "I wanted to be a teacher since I was a child, and this time I finally got over the teacher addiction."

The reporter learned that in the "left-behind families" on holiday campus, a considerable number of students are engaged in part-time jobs. In addition to traditional jobs such as tutoring, promotion, secretarial work, typing, copying and translation proofreading, translation, writing, making web pages and writing programs have become new choices for college students.

Migrant workers said that practical experience is very important, whether for postgraduate entrance examination or later work, which can not only earn money, but also enrich social experience. Although it is hard, it can also be said to be "double income."

Comments: Part-time job is the main activity for freshmen and sophomores to stay in school. Their jobs usually include tutoring, sales promotion, copywriting, fast food restaurant waiters, small company employees and so on. Four years in college, few people have never worked. Part-time job can not only increase income and reduce family burden, but also exercise yourself and cultivate various abilities through part-time job. Part-time job is a process of life experience, which is twice as effective as blind study in school.

Learn to prepare for "charging": have fun!

"When I first sent my seniors, they suggested that learning a second foreign language must be special and different from others, and then I began to learn." Xiao Qiang, a junior in the Youth Work Department of China Youth University for Politics, began to learn Japanese from 2005 10. Get up early every Saturday for half a day's class. There were sixty or seventy students in his class at the beginning and less than fifteen students in the last class. He is glad that he is one fifteenth. "To master one or more foreign languages, specifically Japanese, you have to pass Grade 2, so that you can leave school happily when you graduate." Xiao Qiang's goal is practical.

This winter vacation, he plans to apply for Japanese Class Two in New Oriental. Now his daily homework is to sort out what he has learned so that he can study better after class.

Nowadays, college students are not satisfied with studying on campus, but are keen on charging off campus. A survey shows that 60% of college students attend off-campus training courses. From college students' favorite "three big things" of foreign languages, computers and driver's licenses to professional industry qualification examinations such as certified public accountants and lawyers, not to mention familiar names such as PETS, TOFEL, GRE and IELTS. With the popularity of certificate certification, various social examinations have sprung up like mushrooms after rain, and the corresponding training has also become hot in the university campus.

It has become a winter vacation choice for many college students to take part in various skills and quality training and use the abundant time in winter vacation to "recharge" themselves. In Zhanchunyuan Campus of New Oriental, Xiao Qiang studied Japanese for six hours in the morning, and then returned to school by bus. Xiao Fei from the International Business School of Beijing Foreign Studies University passed him by, and her GRE training class had just begun. At night/kloc-back to the dormitory around 0/0, she still has to recite the vocabulary for half an hour with GRE Xiaohong's book. "Only those who constantly' code' themselves are competitive. You should charge more when you are young. " That's what she said

Some students also signed up for tennis, calligraphy, driving school and other training courses. Ahua, a junior in Economics Department of Beijing Normal University, flew back to her hometown on the night of the exam to attend the driving school training registered by her parents. Ahua believes: "At present, the employment situation is grim, and one more certificate will lead to one more employment opportunity."

"In April this year 1 day, the new regulations for the driver's license examination began to be implemented, which will increase the difficulty of the driver's license examination." Iowa hopes to get a driver's license at the end of this winter vacation.

Comments: Various forms of holiday "charging" have not only enriched winter vacation life, but also improved its own quality, making preparations for future employment and stepping into society.

Respondents' understanding of learning purpose is "diversified"; A more realistic point of view is that learning is to get a job, go abroad, take the postgraduate entrance examination, and ensure your future life. The viewpoint itself is understandable, but when the wind of textual research becomes more and more fierce, it is particularly important to refuse to follow suit, overcome the herd mentality, treat the textual research of postgraduate entrance examination rationally, and avoid becoming a victim of blind "textual research fever". After all, when people are more or less utilitarian in the process of pursuing their own development, learning, as a process of enriching and perfecting themselves, should be respected from a personal point of view.

Practice: Who knows the taste?

Some people say that the first to arrive at the office and the last to leave must be the interns who are most afraid of leisure. This sentence is not biased to describe college students who practice in the media. As we all know, journalism is a practical and operational subject, and students must practice it in the media. Therefore, at the peak of internship, newspapers, TV stations and other media are in a state of high staff saturation.

"I'm not in the newspaper or on my way to the newspaper." The signature on Xiao Lu MSN is quite enjoyable. He has started a holiday internship in an industry newspaper in Beijing. As a junior majoring in journalism, he regrets not taking more courses in economics. "I am a banker, and the professional knowledge base of economics is still insufficient compared with the economics department." Besides writing, he is reading books most of the time now. "Mainly in finance and economics, there are also books on economic news reports."

Collect information, go out for interviews with teachers and write news. In order to catch up with the manuscript, Xiao Lu often writes on the computer with an empty stomach. "I am basically too tired to move when I come back." He poured out bitter water. But when he saw the typed manuscript, he thought it was worth it. "Tired and happy. It's much better than wasting time playing, and you can learn a lot of news practice, which complements the theory in class. Through internship, I feel that I am still more suitable for the news industry, which has strengthened my confidence in going on. "

As an intern, Xiaogang is very depressed. Because he majored in social work and public security, he always wanted to use the winter vacation time to go to the social security bureau or the street office for an internship. The internship unit that the customer helped to find was wrong, so it was impossible to refuse, and it was difficult to ride a tiger for a while. When asked about his future plans, he seemed quite helpless: "practicing for a while is an experience."

Comments: Freshmen who have just entered the university mainly need to accumulate knowledge; Students who are nearing graduation tend to study with accumulated social experience. The interns are full of energy, walk out of the ivory tower and start forging themselves in the melting pot of society. Interns are quasi-"professionals" and wobbly social people who have just stepped out of half a foot. They throw stones to ask for directions, carefully integrate the gap between professional direction and employment reality, and adjust their career goals and mentality. It is worth mentioning that although internship opportunities are hard to find, the internship experience that meets the needs of personal career planning is more targeted.

Graduate job hunting: next season

During the rush hour, the Third Ring Road in Beijing is brightly lit and full of traffic. Wang Kai, who just got off the bus, took a long breath: "Finally." At this time, he just dragged his tired body back to school from the internship unit.

Wang Kai, a graduate of School of Journalism and Communication in 2007, is about to graduate. In his senior year, he did not choose the postgraduate entrance examination like others, but devoted himself to the employment army. His goal is clear, and he hopes to become a financial reporter. I worked as an intern in a financial newspaper before, and finally left for various reasons.

The sun is shining in Beijing, but the outdoor temperature is below zero. "The most time every day is in front of the computer." Wang Wei said. The bombing of writing resumes, submitting resumes, attending job fairs and interviews has turned life into an intermittent storyline. During that time, along with the bus fare, there was insomnia caused by stress and tension.

Now Wang Kai is working as an intern in a state-owned enterprise in Beijing. After a week's probation, he will decide whether to stay. The plain work of nine to five is far from his original idea, but the temptation of Beijing hukou still exists, and he knows that life has another name called compromise. If he stays, this Spring Festival will be his first holiday in Beijing.

During the interview, Wang Kai always nervously took out his mobile phone and looked at it. In the process of looking for a job, he is always afraid of missing any information and interview opportunities. "I obviously felt the vibration of my mobile phone, but I didn't look at it when I took it out." Nervous tension led to recurring hallucinations, and he smiled bitterly. "It has become a habit."

As a graduate of 2007, Xiao Jiang, a graduate student of Renmin University Business School, is not so lucky. He can't remember how many times he put on a neat black suit and walked on the way to an interview. I submitted hundreds of resumes and interviewed 30 or 40 companies. I once ran two or three interviews a day. I've been depressed and wandering. He said that finding a job is most afraid of two situations. One is constantly being denied, and the other is that his cell phone doesn't ring. He didn't have a phone call for about a week at the longest, and he was particularly flustered at that time.

But anyway, life goes on, and he continues to interview and write. He thinks these are the forms of life movement. As he firmly believes, life lies in sports and running. Now he has got a satisfactory job, and there is an interview waiting for him tomorrow. ...

Comments: There is a saying among graduates that those who take the postgraduate entrance examination live like dogs, those who take the postgraduate entrance examination live like pigs, and those who look for jobs live like dogs. Graduates rush about in the cold winter of 2007, striving for their dreams and future. We can only salute and bless. Borrow a poem from Pushkin:/Letter! Happy days will come. /Heart always yearns for the future; /I am often disappointed now:/Everything is instantaneous, and everything will pass; /and what has passed will become a beautiful memory.
