　　第6-9句：As a further illustration,畢業生選擇工作為他們積累了寶貴的工作經驗，同時也為他們贏得暫時上的經濟獨立，更重要的是工作能夠幫助他們更好地規劃自己未來的職業生涯。相對于同齡人而言，他們因為能夠體會工作的艱辛從而珍惜求學機會的來之不易；因為親身經歷職場從而能更清醒地認識到市場的需求；因為經歷了工作時的酸甜苦辣從而知道自己的優勢和劣勢領域。回到學校之后，他們能夠更加有針對性的學習自己在職場上所缺失的技巧和知識。(6句：Entering the job market means the outset of their working-experience accumulation, temporary economic independence and sounder career planning. 7句：To be more exact, these young people will go through all kinds of tribulations and hardships that they will never encounter on campus. 8句：This, in return, informs them of the skills and techniques required by the working sphere as well as their own specific strengths and weaknesses. 9句：In this circumstance, rejoining the campus does not only mean earn a university degree, but further enhancing their employability and marketability.)

　　第四段：總結全文，2句話。
