But, don't be nervous. Adopt a new approach to resume writing and you're certain to produce a winner. The philosophy is simple but effective: see yourself as a product that you're trying to sell to consumers.
Think of your resume and cover letter as advertisements. That means you need to point out the benefits of the product (you) to the consumer (the employer) in the most concise, effective way possible.
A good resume does two things: it gives the employers a concise, accurate picture of your skills and experience, and it attempts to convince them that you and their company are a good match.
There are several forms: chronological, experience-based and functional. The functional is the best route to take for a new graduate: You get all the necessary information in an easy-to-read form.
Your resume should at least include:
Name and contact information
Job objective
Education
Awards and other forms of recognition, if applicable
Internships and work or leadership experience
Language and computer skills
Professional memberships, if applicable
Remember, the purpose of your resume is to generate enough interest in you to have an employer contact you for an interview.
So, your first goal should be the same as the company's goal or the goal of the position you're applying for. You can structure your resume around that objective. If you don't show a sense of direction, employers won't be interested.
Currently, most job positions in job adverts may say that a minimum of one or two years of work experience is required. What if you don't have any experience?
As a university graduate, you only need a brief, concentrated period of volunteer training or work to say that you have some experience to put on your resume.
Also, look at some of the volunteer work and social activities you've organised or participated in, and see if any of that counts for skills you'll need for your future job.
In addition, fill your resume with "PAR" statements (Problem-Action-Results). In other words, first you state the problem that existed in your study life or in your part-time workplace, then you describe what you did about it, and finally you point out the beneficial results.
Nowadays, university graduates tend to make their resume into a "book" to show they have a lot of experience, and many girls even add a photo album. The truth is, you don't need to go into detail about every accomplishment. To get an interview, you should think of your resume as a marketing tool. What are your features and strong points? What makes you unique? Make sure to convey this information in your resume, and if necessary you should alter your resume to fit different companies.
According to the passage, what's the most important thing when you start writing a resume?
A.Learn how to write a resume in the right format.
B.Learn how to highlight your strong points and understate your weak points.
C.Learn how to market yourself arid sell your services to a company.
D.Learn how to please your potential employer.

During the test, you will write two essays. The integrated essay asks for your response to an academic reading passage and a lecture on the same topic. You may take notes as you read and listen, but notes are not graded. You may use your notes to write the essay. The lecture will be spoken, but the directions and the questions will be written. You will have 20 minutes to plan, write, and revise your response. Typically, a good essay for the integrated topic will require that you write 150-225 words.
The independent essay usually asks for your opinion about a familiar topic. You will have 30 minutes to plan, write, and revise your response. Typically, a good essay for the independent topic will require that you write 300-350 words.
A clock on the screen will show you how much time you have to complete each essay.
Integrated Essay "Primordial Soup"
You have 20 minutes to plan, write, and revise your response to a reading passage and a lecture on the same topic. First, read the passage and take notes. Then, listen to the lecture and take notes. Finally, write your response to the writing question. Typically, a good response will require that you write 150-225 words.
The origin of life was highly speculative until a graduate student at the University of Chicago, Stanley Miller designed and conducted an empirical research project under the guidance of his graduate advisor, Harold Urey. In this classic experiment, the researchers tried to simulate the chemical evolution process that generated life. Miller and Urey took a five-liter flask half filled with water and connected it with glass tubing to another flask into which they inserted tungsten electrodes. They then mixed methane, hydrogen, and ammonia into the water in the lower flask and heated it to induce evaporation, while at the same time subjecting it to continuous electrical charges that jumped across the space between the electrodes in the upper flask. The atmosphere was cooled again so that the water could condense and trickle back into the first flask in a continuous cycle. In this way, they sought to recreate the conditions in the early atmosphere of Earth, which they speculated was probably subjected to powerful electrical storms. In about an hour, the water turned orange. At the end of the first week, they observed that almost 15 percent of the carbon was converted into organic compounds. After several weeks, the liquid in the flask clouded and then gradually turned a dark brown. When they analyzed it, Miller and Urey found that it contained a large number of amino acids, which form. one of the basic structures of living organisms. They then hypothesized that the amino acids that they had created in the laboratory might be typical of the chemical mixture of the early oceans on Earth, and further, that additional amino acids could have been added to the mixture in the early oceans by carbon enriched meteorites or comets.
When the scientific results were popularized, the mixture became known as "primordial soup." However, much was still unknown about the process that caused the first cell to develop within the soup. The molecules produced were relatively simple organic molecules, not a complete living biochemical system. Nevertheless, the experiment established that natural processes could produce the building blocks of life without requiring life to synthesize them in the first place. The experiment served as inspiration for a large number of further investigations.

The Writing section measures your ability to use writing to communicate in an academic environment. There will be 2 writing tasks.
For the first task, you will be asked to read a passage and listen to a lecture. You will then answer a question based on what you have read and heard. For the second task, you will be asked to answer a question based on your own knowledge and experience.
Now listen to the directions for the first writing task.
The Integrated Writing Task
For this task, you will read a passage about an academic topic. A clock at the top of the screen will show how much time you have to read. Then the passage will be removed and you will listen to a lecture about the same topic. You will be able to see the passage again when it is time to write. You may take notes while you read and listen.
You will then have 20 minutes to write a response to a question that asks you about the relationship between the reading passage and the lecture. Using information from the reading and the lecture, try to answer the question as completely as possible. The question does not ask you to express your personal opinion.
Typically, an effective response will be 150 to 225 words long. Your response will be judged on the quality of your writing and on the completeness and accuracy of the content. You may use your notes to help you answer.
Now you will see the reading passage for 3 minutes. Remember the reading passage will be available to you again when you write. After the reading time ends, the lecture will begin immediately, so keep your headset on until the lecture is over.
Reading
DDT has a half-life of anywhere from a month in running water to fifteen years in contaminated soil. Like any toxic pesticide, it is extremely dangerous, both to humans and to the natural world in general, and was therefore banned in most parts of the world in the 1970s.
Its damaging effects to the environment were first recorded by a woman named Rachel Carson, who wrote a book on the subject called Silent Spring. She started investigating DDT when she noticed that the number of song birds around her home decreased shortly after neighboring farms started using the pesticide. She discovered that the chemical built up in animals as it progressed along the food chain. Small animals had only small amounts of DDT in their bodies, but they passed that poison along to whatever predators had the misfortune to eat them. This meant that predators at the top of their food chain, such as bald eagles, ended up accumulating large amounts of the toxin in their bodies. DDT had terrible effects on them. One of the worst was that it caused the birds to produce eggs that had shells that were too thin. As a result, the chicks inside died before they were born. That was why the number of birds around Rachel Carson's home was decreasing.
Humans, of course, are also at the top of their food chain, so this raised questions about our own exposure to the chemical. It was already known that DDT could be poisonous to humans from its effects on those who sprayed it. Especially in the developing world, where workers sprayed excessive amounts of the pesticide without the benefit of protective gear, humans were often directly sickened by the toxin. Eventually, most governments decided that DDT served no useful purpose that could not be carried out by using safer chemicals, so it was banned.

“What did you learn in that course?” I’d ask.
“Well, the main thing was learning how to face an audience ... not to be inhibited( 拘谨 )... not to be nervous
Exactly, when you take a course in public speaking nowadays, you don’ t hear much about grammar and vocabulary. Instead, you’ re taught how not to be afraid or embarrassed, how to speak without a prepared script, how to read out to the live audience before you. Public speaking is a matter of overcoming your long-standing nervous inhibitions.
The same is true of writing. The point of the whole thing is to overcome your nervous inhibitions, to break through the invisible barrier that separates you from the person who’ ll read what you wrote. You must learn to sit in front of your typewriter or dictating machine and read out to the person at the other end of the line.
Of course, in public speaking, with the audience right in front of you, the problem is easier. You can look at them and talk to them directly. In writing, you’ re alone. It needs an effort of your experience or imagination to take hold of that other person and talk to him or her. But that effort is necessary -- or at least it’ s necessary until you’ve reached the point when you quite naturally and unconsciously “talk on paper
