*注意开头处的倒装现象。  

*注意词汇：表达程度的形容词apparent和minor。  

Voluntarywork,chosenby3,500graduatesand345postgraduates,wastheleastpopularchoiceamongbothgroups.Infact,allgraduateswouldratherbeunemployed,anditisparticularlythecaseamongpostgraduates,astheunemployednumbered1,625.  

*首先索性把voluntarywork这个情况最特殊又单纯的destination用一句话写完拉倒。  

*第 一句话中的动词被动分词引导的状语插入，介绍了数字，又避免了罗列数字那样的“流水账”写法。  

*第二句话是CC文脉的关键，让第 一、二两句话之间形成联系的同时，又在句子内部再次形成递进关系。  

*最后的由as引导的状语从句中number的动词用法，意义为“数目是”。  

*整个段落没有用定语从句也一样可以介绍清楚数值。

*由notonly…butalso…构建的句子是亮点。  

*主语/句子开头的多样是另一个亮点：每个句子（包括主句和从句）的主语/句子开头各不相同。  

*第 一句的末尾出现了用定语从句介绍数值的语法现象。  

*词汇注意：overwhelming这个表达程度的形容词；与“选择”相关的动词optfor、形容词preferrable、名词preference。

*词汇注意：与“选择”相关的名词inclination。
