中国大陆考区2011年11月19日雅思大作文真题回忆，网友QQ2420263544传来题目不完整，好像是要求烤鸭写一篇短文讨论 Job Satisfaction vs. Job Security。
谢振礼老师的笔记中有一个类似的真题，刚好是上个月在南美洲出现过，因此两题并列如下，几乎一模一样。海外雅思考题与国内雅思考题经常在不同的考期重复使用。猜想得到，雅思官方有题库，抽出来的写作试题会在不同的时间不同的考区派上用场。有时候A类与G类也互用。盘点之后，国外收集到50真题，其中26题已有多家英语学习网站转载。其他的收藏即将投稿与网友分享，作为2012年的培训资源。
海外真题
>Job satisfaction is far less important than job security in the modern workplace. Do you agree or disagree with this statement?
国内真题
>Some people argue that job satisfaction is more important than job security. Discuss both views and give your own
opinion.
Note: Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your knowledge or experience.

Example Essay:
No employee could possibly feel happy about a chance of losing the current job anytime soon. Next only to pay, job security is certainly the No. 1 factor leading to job satisfaction in the modern workplace. In view of increasing unemployment rates these days, losing a job may mean the absence of the monthly income on which much of job satisfaction depends.
Job satisfaction describes how content one is with one's job. The happier one is with one's job, the more satisfied one is said to be. However, if there is the possibility that one could not keep one's job, it makes no practical sense of emphasizing the importance of job satisfaction. This refers particularly to people without specific skills, experience or education. Since the impact of job insecurity is now being felt in anticipation of a global recession, it is probably not the right time for such people to demand other benefits that also contribute to job satisfaction, including workload, flexibility of working hours and opportunities for promotion. To be realistic, first layoff concerns, then all the rest.
Relatively, some careers have better job security because of their significant and necessary contributions to society. They include most positions in government, education, law enforcement and health care. All of these professions enjoy high levels of job security in comparison with most private sectors, some of them facing financial instability to varying degrees. Job security being not the issue, salary reigns as a supreme indicator that makes work gratifying, followed by such benefits as health care, paid vacation, personal recognition, relationships with immediate supervisors and co-employees. Of course, employees in these fields are less affected by the country's economic conditions and enjoy not only more job satisfaction but also better job security. To them, therefore, job security is less important than job satisfaction.
For workers in general to feel happy and secure, it is prudent to maintain a sense of job security and job satisfaction. Because money is by far the most important factor that people work, job security is what matters to most workers. Nevertheless, those who can take job security for granted may begin imagining how to pass their happy years after retirement.
