(168words)解析：[写作思路]这篇作文属于夹叙夹议的类型，其特点

是往往以一个社会问题或社会现象开头，中间部分分析原因、列举影响

或危害，最后提出解决问题的建议或者展望未来。因此我们可以按照这

种程序来展开文章。第一段指出目前高校学生兼职的现象很普及，可举

在饭店、公司做兼职以及做家教办公司等例子加以说明。第二段阐述造

成这种现象的原因：首先通过自己的努力挣些钱可以使学生们意识到劳

动的价值，从而获得经济上的独立。其次，在社会上兼职也可以使学生

更多地了解社会，为他们以后踏上社会做好准备。第三段结合自己谈我

们应该怎么做：对于学生米讲，最重要的还是先把学习学好；同时，还

要注意保持好二者的平衡。根据以上思路便可以形成以下的作文。
