这是一篇很有现实意义的题材：CollegeGraduatesWorkasVillageOfficials(大学毕业生当村官)。按照指令所给出的3个问题，我们可以将这篇作文写成4段。第1段指出，在新的严峻的就业形势下，大学毕业生当村官显然是一个很有意义、值得肯定的做法。第2段回答问题：这些大学生能给农村带来什么?他们可以将科技知识带到农村，改变农村的落后面貌，领导农民走上致富的道路。第3段回答问题：大学生能从中得到什么?通过深入农村基层，接触广大农民群众，他们可以学到劳动人民勤劳苦干、艰苦朴素的优秀品质，为将来的工作积累宝贵的生活经验。第4段作为结论，应当首尾呼应点题，扼要重复自己的

看法：大学毕业生当村官不但能够减轻国家的就业压力，而且可以回报社会、服务社会，不失为一个好主意。
