I vote for honesty(1). With the development of university candidates, skyrocketing, Chinese institutions of higher education are turning out soaring numbers of graduates. Therefore, it has bee increasingly difficult for pany executives to pick excellent applicants from seas of graduates. However, differing standards have already been set by panies to facilitate their selection work. Among them personal qualities are paramount items, such as honesty, confidence, and perseverance, to name but a few. Personally, I put honesty top on the list.(2). First things first, honesty enjoys unparalleled status in Chinese people’s minds. Since ancient times, Chinese people have attached high value to honesty, which has long and habitually been regarded as a basic and indispensable quality a wellbred person should possess. Proverb also has it “Honesty is the best policy”, which has bee household words over China. From cultural and ideological point of view, “honesty” has been a deeprooted conception firmly embedded in people’s minds. Therefore, it is conceivably possible for employers to put honesty in the first place.(3). Secondly, honesty, to a large degree, helps in your way to career success. Japanese employee management is a good case in point. As is often the case, Japanese panies practice a lifelong service system, that is to say, once employed, one holds rare possibilities of being dismissed. Unless you are found to be dishonest to the pany, which displays to the full the great importance attached by Japanese panies to honesty. Moreover, your salary increase and promotion parallels your service time — an emblem of honesty. From this perspective, honesty is conducive to both your pany and your own development.(4). Last but certainly not the least, honesty brings you a large network of social relationship. A recent survey reveals people relatively tend to make friends with those of honesty, integrity and the like. Therefore, honesty is sure to bee a helpful tool in dealing with people especially in the 21st century of plicated relationship network. In this sense, honesty does a lot to help build sound social relationships, which is of supreme importance, especially for fresh graduates.(5). In concluding, honesty is not only a sort of traditional virtue passed down by our ancestors from generation to generation, but it is also a vital quality one should have to win yourself marvelous prospect as well as better reputation in contemporary society. By and large, I have been a devout believer in the proposition that honesty is the best policy.In the process of English writing, with the knowledge of the Chinese vocabulary, Chinese students would continuously refer to the accumulation of their own Chinese vocabulary and then picked out the suitable English words to place into the article. Take the above article as an example. In the first paragraph there is a phrase “seas of graduates”. As there is an expression “人山人海” in Chinese, the author uses the “seas of” to represent the huge number of graduates in a vivid way. Look at another case, in the last paragraph, “win yourself marvelous prospect”. The author can choose a lot of synonyms to replace the “win”, such as “bring”. But since there is an expression of “通過做……使得自身贏得(榮譽尊敬等)” in Chinese, the author finally opts for the word “win”, which is superior to the word “bring”.,左頂格,小三號字體,Times New Roman加粗。 Discourse“Discourse” here means the ability of posing. Most Chinese students tend to maintain the thinking pattern of Chinese language. They have the habit of conceiving a Chinese version before they start to write the English one. That habit plays a promoting role in the process of English writing, that is, the positive transfer from Chinese to English. And it performs in two aspects: firstly, students continuously screen the English vocabulary with the help of Chinese language。 secondly, either writing in Chinese or in English, students tend to use the same or similar manner/method to design and amend their articles.Take the sample essay in Section as an example.Generally, English articles are characterized by using “analytical thinking pattern” and its thinking mode of the writing generally shows the form of “Topic Introduction — Development — Conclusion”. This “TDC” pattern is not only reflected in the article as a whole, but also sometimes is reflected in separate paragraphs. From the sample essay, it is easy to see, all the five paragraphs are divided by the author into three parts. In the first part the author put forward directly his own idea, that is, “honesty is the most important quality”. Then the following three paragraphs from 2 to 4 are the second part. It expounded in the “historical perspective”, “the perspective of jobseeking” and “the perspective of human relationship”, pointing out that “credibility is a fine tradition of the Chinese nation”, “honesty helps graduates in their jobseeking” and “honesty contributes to the establishment of good interpersonal relationships” as arguments in favor of the first paragraph of the passage. Finally, the last part as a conclusion reiterated that “honesty is the most important policy”. That is an echo to the topic introduced in the very beginning.Using the thinking mode of English writing, the first part, which straightly points out the theme, is the “topic introduction”, the second part is the “development” and the last one is the “conclusion”。 Using the Chinese mode of thinking, the three parts respectively are “起”,“承”,“合”。 As for a separate paragraph, in which “起承合” model has also been very well reflected. Take the second paragraph as an example, the first sentence raises the point of view, arguing that, “honesty enjoys unparalleled status in Chinese people39。s minds.” Next two to four sentences set forth on the support of the topic. The last sentence as conclusion, again pointed out, “it is conceivably possible for employers to put honesty in the first place.” Th
