Writing exercise

In less developed areas in China, a large number of young people drop out of school very early, especially when they finish high school or even junior high.

It’s a common situation in society despite the fact that technology is advanced at the present day.

They don’t realize the implication of it. Most young people who quit school early will have very low income compared to those who graduate with a bachelor’s degree, and a large number/proportion of them become unemployed.

As the demand of skilled employees in the market increases, people who dropped out early should catch up as much as possible to meet the companies’ expectations.

In less developed areas of China, large numbers of young people make the decision to drop out of school very early, sometimes as soon as they graduate high school or even junior high.

This has become a concerningly widespread situation in modern society despite the fact that our technology is highly advanced.

  1. These dropouts seldom realize the implications of their choice.
  2. these dropouts fully realize the implications of such a risky choice. 

Most young people who quit school early end up with very low income compared to bachelors (of) their age and a disturbing proportion of them even end up jobless or on the dole.

As the demand for skilled employees on the market increases, people who have dropped out early should leave no stone unturned to meet modern companies’ requirements and eventually catch up with their peers.

Tip: try to use ‘feeling’ words
A big number –> a concerning number

A disturbing part of the population is anti-abortion.
A worrying 50% of young adults are unemployed.
