Nowadays many college graduates are looking forward to obtainingemployment in big cities,unwilling to work in the countryside.As a matterof fact,there are not enough opportunities to satisfy most of the job huntersin big cities,while in the countryside talented people are badly needed and alot of posts are waiting for them.Rural areas are a vast world.There collegegraduates can put their abilities to better use and will be able to make greatercontributions to the development of new countryside.Therefore,I believethey can have as bright a future in the country as they have in the city.
