The Popularity of Civil Service Exam

Inrecent years, there are people in expanding numbers who have participated inthe test for civil servants. Millions of students choose civil servant as theirmost ideal occupation after graduation. According to the authoritative statistic,more than 1.5 million people take the exam, and the most competed positionratio is 9175:1.The craze in civil service exam has attracted widespread attention.In my opinion, people take part in the exam should basis on their personalityand dreams, not just drifting with the current.

近年来，参加公务员考试的人不断扩大。成千上万的学生选择公务员作为他们毕业后最理想的职业。据权威统计，超过1500000人参加考试，而最具竞争性的职位录取比例为9175: 1.公务员考试的热潮已经引起了广泛关注。在我看来，人们参加考试应该根据对他们的性格和梦想为依据，而不是随波逐流。

Firstand foremost, one of fundamental causes which accounts for this kind of crazeis that most people think civil servant is the iron rice bowl, having lessstress in job market. Nowadays, not only fresh graduate faces great employment pressure,but also many high-educated, such as boffin, white-collar, have the samepressure. People who work in companies have to work overtime without paying.Besides, with the stronger ability of young people have, the larger chance they would get, when they become older, they would worry about theincreasingly fierce competition of society. But the civil service is different.It is stable, as long as they don't make any big mistakes, they would not befired.

首先，造成这种疯狂行为的其中一个根本原因是，大多数人认为公务员是铁饭碗，在就业市场上具有更少的压力。如今，不仅应届毕业生面临巨大的就业压力，很多高学历，如科学家，白领，也同样有压力。在公司上班要免费加班。此外，由于年轻人的能力越强，他们得到工作的机会更大，当他们慢慢变老了，他们会担心竞争日益激烈的社会。但是，公务员是不同的。它是稳定的，只要他们不犯任何大过错，他们是不会被解雇的。

Moreover,the high social position of civil servants is a crucial factor to attract manypeople to take part in the exam. In recent years, accompanied with the policyof reform and opening-up, both of national and local civil servants are morerespected. In addition, the mind of “A good scholar will make an official” hasdeeply rooted in people’s hearts. Most people think that civil servants owningpower would glorify and illuminate the ancestors.

此外，公务员的高社会地位是吸引许多人参加考试的一个关键因素。近年来，由于改革开放的政策，国家和地方公务员都受到了更多的尊重。再者，“学而优则仕”的想法已深深植根于人们的心中。大多数人认为，拥有权力的公务员可以光宗耀祖。

Lastbut not least, the welfare and salary of civil servants have been improvedgreatly, which undoubtedly become people’s preferable choices. In some bigcities of China, such as Beijing, Shanghai, registered permanent residence isvery important. House, school and medical insurance all link together with it. Generally,enterprise will not solve these problems for employees easily.

最后但并非最不重要的，公务员的福利和待遇有了很大的提高，这无疑成为人们最好的选择。在中国的一些城市户口是非常重要的，如：北京，上海。 房子，学校和医疗保险都和它联系在一起。一般来说，企业将无法轻易棒员工解决这些问题。

Toconclusion, this craze for civil service exam will keep a long time inthe following years. If most high quality talents gather in the governmentdepartments, it might lead to a waste of resources. Both the individuals andthe government should have a more objective recognition of the civil service exam.

总结，公务员考试热在接下来的几年里将会长期持续。如果大多数高素质人才都聚集在政府部门，可能会导致资源浪费。个人和政府都应该对公务员考试有更客观的认识。
