寫在前面：不時有人問我：怎樣才能寫出有specific reasons的task2來？我說：用你的經歷或所見所聞所讀，也可以自編小故事作為例子，只要其對你的觀點有強有力的支持，你都可以采納。最簡單的舉例論證結構為：說出你的觀點（最好是topic sentence）+舉例說明+發個人感想或回應topic。下面這道老題就是我按這種寫作思路寫的。另外，這種題型考得比較多，許多考生只注意分析其cause而忽略了solution，或只喊一下口號，這樣不是完全符合題目要求的。我覺得，specific solution(s)很重要。

Nowadays many people stay off job or school due to stress from work or study. You should use specific reasons and your own experience to analyze the cause and offer the solution.

Pressure is always there in some form, whether in the workplace or in our personal lives. If you allow it to control your performance in a negative way, then it becomes stress. I would like to examine the cause of stress, which has led to many people staying off job or school, and offer possible solutions as follows. [58 words]

Firstly, do not overestimate your abilities. It is not uncommon that many arrogant people first overrate themselves before starting a task, then they stay off the job after having found it extremely difficult. These people are pessimistic ones. Actually if they knew who they are they would not place themselves in this plight. Take me for example, I am an architect working for a construction company. Whenever I am given an assignment, I would study it for a couple of days. If it is over my head I would recommend another more capable colleague to complete it. This is the way I am and consequently and more importantly, I never feel stressful at work.. [113 words]

Now let’s turn to academic issue. Everyone knows, stress occurs when you are being asked to do something you are not sure whether you can do. Nowadays, a great deal of students’ fears grow dramatically before the arrival of a big exam as a consequence of not being well prepared for it. Some of them who have flunked many times would rather drop out of school than suffer from humiliations and shame. I experienced tough times when I was a freshman in college. Later I discovered that sufficient preparation could provide me with confidence when commencing exams. Therefore, I stopped attending all social activities a week before the exam and was focused on notes taken in class. For this reason, I enjoyed my school life ever after. (127 words)

After all, we can never escape from the reality of every existence. To stay off job or school is the wrong attitude of which cowards deserve. (26words)
