As is shown in the diagram, some dramatic changes have taken place with regard to the number of recruitment of Master of Engineering (ME) in the past several years. According to the figures given in the diagram, we can see the number of recruitment of ME was on a steady rise all the time. In the year of 1998, the recruitment number of ME was only about 2500, but within no more than seven years, the number attained to more than 35,000 in 2004.

What’s more, ME can enable people to find a high-paying job easily. It is said that nearly 100% job hunters with ME can get an ideal post in China nowadays.

正如图中所显示的，在过去几年中工程硕士的招生数量发生了一些显著的变化。根据图中所给的数据，我们可以发现工程硕士的招生数量一直在稳步上升。1998年，工程硕士的招生人数只有大约2,500名，但是在7年内，这个数字上升到2004年的35,000余名。
导致上述变化的一些主要原因可以总结如下。首先，随着我国经济和社会的快速发展，对于具有特殊技能的人才的需求很大，特别是在高科技领域。此外，工程硕士可以让人们很容易找到一份高薪工作。据说，如今具有工程硕士学位的求职者几乎100%都能在中国找到一

份理想的职位。最后，终生学习的概念已经被许多中国年轻人所接受，他们中的大部分人选择毕业几年后继续深造。
