Summary:
What do graduates do in the UK? Start their career, go travel or continue to study. Almost half of all the students fear that they will not find a good job after they are done with their studies, if they had known that beforehand they might have made different choices concerning their education/career. The top three career choices for the graduating students were media, teaching and marketing. Students with the highest salary expectations were law students and with the lowest were arts or humanities students. With the large amount of students from last year still looking for a job it is looking quite dark for this year’s graduate’s job opportunities.
Opinion:
This article is quite okay. There are a little to many numbers in there in my opinion. The message they are trying to bring, that it is hard for graduates to find jobs at the moment, is basically being said in the first paragraph. The salary expectations bit is just a filler. These problems probably occur in more countries than the UK. In the Netherlands many students face this problem as well.

Try to simply summarise the content of the article and leave out the "This article is about..." Get straight to the point of the story in the first sentence.
ReplyDeleteYou "go travelling" and "this problems" should be singular (esp to agree with your verb). There are a few Dutchisms in your English such as "I find..." and of all adjectives to use "okay" is one of the blandest! You also deliver or convey a message rather than bring it.
In terms of content this is a clear and well explained summary and reaction. Well done.
ja joh!!
