Xiaoqing: What are your plans after graduation?
Xiaohua: I am planning to go on a working holiday for a year. How about you?

Xiaohua: Yeah, that’s true. So people either try to find a way to delay graduation or continue their studies in graduate school.
Xiaoqing: But then again, whether we continue studying or take a working holiday for now, eventually we’ll still have to face the music. It looks like we need to work harder!
