As the job opportunity is increasing limited on the land , more and more young man are turning to the sea for a living. Some of them choose to work on a ship only after they have filed to get a job. However, many young man actually would rather work on the sea than n land. In my opinion, there are several reasons that account for increasing interest in persuing maritime profession.

Firstly, our ountry is mad up many lands. Weare surrounded by water. Its not suprising that many people have grown to love the sea. In order to be able to spend more time near the sea, they decide to work on it. Many of them spend their whole lives on the water.

Secondly, many school drpouts in the country as well as those young men who have just finished their education in school are looking for job, at the same time. Competition for jobs is terefore great. Many fail to get work in factories, so these people turn to the sea as a last resort.

Thirdly, some young men face problem at home. They want to get as far away from these problem as possible. The sea becomes a popular means of escape.

Finally, young people are naturally advantages. They love to explore new places. They enjoy the excitement that comes with this.

 By working on a ship, they are able to travelfar and wide. Besides, food and loging on board the ship are free. Thus, many young men are attracted to maritime profesion.

“GOLDEN EGGS”

Long time ago a remote village, in central China was inhabited mainly with farmers and hunters.

One day, a poor farmer lost his entire livestock to flood. He prayed hard to God for help or his family would die of starvation. Few days later, an old man with long grey beard, passed by his house took pity on him. He gave him a goose and said “ I don’t have any expensive thing to give you and hope this goose will help you to ease your hardship.” A week later to almost surprise the farmer found and egg in his yard. This was no ordinary egg. It was a golden egg. He was suddenly overcome with joy. Thereafter, his livelihood had rapidly improved but the farmer had forgotten his earlier hardship. He became lazy, arrogant and spendthrift. Strangely, the goose only laid one golden egg every six months. The greedy farmer lost his patient and slaughtered his goose thinking there were plenty of golden eggs inside its stomach. Though he very much regretted for his foolishness, it’s already too late.
