This is a simple but enlightening cartoon: in front of many choices stand a host of graduates，staring at various directions-hunting for jobs, furthering their study as postgraduates, studying abroad and starting their own business. Although the choices are diverse, these youngsters lose their goals. Finally, two Chinese characters can be noticed, which say”Choices”.
The contemporary society is best characterized by wide opportunities but such a scenario can be naturally associated with a great many confused young people in real life. To be specific an increasing number of college students get puzzled when they have to make choices after graduation. This trend is particularly worth concern for the background that many universities may focus too much eyesight on students academic study, Ignoring the importance of career guidance. It is schools ignorance that does not enable young people to build up adequate competence and confidence to make intelligent choices To my understanding, full preparation can be likened to the key to the gate of opportunities. Good preparation brings them power, arouses their enthusiasm for future and helps them adjust to social life.
Accordingly, it is of great necessity for college students to make plans for future. For one thing, universities as a whole should forge a wholesome atmosphere to help, advocate and educate youngsters to cultivate this awareness. For another, it is advisable for graduates to enhance themselves by consulting teachers, parents and successful people.

这是一部简单但有启发性的卡通片:在许多选择面前站着一群毕业生，他们盯着不同的方向——寻找工作，作为研究生继续深造，出国留学和创业。虽然选择多种多样，但这些年轻人失去了他们的目标。最后，可以注意到两个汉字，它们表示“选择”。
当代社会最大的特点是机会广泛，但这种情况自然会与现实生活中许多困惑的年轻人联系在一起。具体来说，越来越多的大学生在毕业后不得不做出选择时感到困惑。这一趋势尤其值得关注，因为许多大学可能过于关注学生的学术研究，而忽视了职业指导的重要性。正是学校的无知使年轻人无法建立足够的能力和信心来做出明智的选择。根据我的理解，充分的准备可以被比作打开机会之门的钥匙。良好的准备给他们带来力量，激发他们对未来的热情，帮助他们适应社会生活。
因此，大学生为未来做计划是非常必要的。首先，大学作为一个整体应该营造一种有益健康的氛围，帮助、倡导和教育年轻人培养这种意识。另一方面，毕业生最好通过咨询老师、父母和成功人士来提高自己。
