论文部分内容阅读
每个人小的时候，都会有许许多多的梦想，如想成为教师、明星、科学家或是宇航员……“我”小时候有什么样的梦想呢？“我”一直都在坚守“我”的梦想吗？ 有什么经历影响“我”的梦想吗？“我”对梦想有什么不一样的见解吗？
As children， we all dream of what we want to be when we grow up. Often， many young children will say that they want to be actors or singers， pop stars or models. Some will say that they want to become teachers， firefighters， police officers. Others want to be astronauts， scientists or explorers.
When I was younger， I wanted to be a fashion designer. I went to London Fashion Weekend， the Clothes Show Live in Birmingham and worked very hard at school to get good grades. At first， I applied to study fashion design at university. When I got there， I hated the course. For some reason， which is still unknown to me， I no longer wanted to become part of the fashion industry.
I now study French， but I still don？蒺t know what I want to do when I finish university. This year， I have been working as a language assistant. Over the past seven months， I？蒺ve taught English to hundreds of students. I？蒺ve shared my culture with them； it？蒺s been a truly great experience. At the start of the year， some students wouldn？蒺t dare to say a word； now， it？蒺s as though they？蒺re different people. Wonderful as this experience has been， I？蒺m still not sure that I want to go into teaching.
I think that our choices can be deeply influenced by our parents. Some parents only want their children to study subjects like engineering（工程學）， maths， science or medicine. This can make young people feel pressured into studying certain subjects， which can be stressful.
There？蒺s no hurry to decide what you want to do with the rest of your life. There？蒺s always time to pursue a different career path！

典句赏析
1.As children， we all dream of what we want to be when we grow up. 作为孩子，我们都梦想着长大后我们要成为想成为的人。
这是一个复合句，what为连接代词，引导宾语从句且与be构成系表结构；when在这里意为“当……时候”，引导的是时间状语从句。
2.Wonderful as this experience has been， I？蒺m still not sure that I want to go into teaching. 尽管这次的（教学）经历令人愉快，但是我仍然不确信我会把它当成我想从事的职业。
as意为“尽管；虽然”，引导的是让步状语从句。as引导的从句多位于主句之前，而且必须使用倒装语序，即将从句的表语、状语或谓语动词的一部分置于句首。
3.Some parents only want their children to study subjects like engineering， maths， science or medicine. 一些父母仅仅想让他们的孩子学习诸如工程学、数学、科学和医学等专业。 want their children to study subjects为动词want的复合结构，to study subjects是动词不定式短语作复合宾语。英语中，像want这样可以接动词不定式作复合宾语的动词有很多，如ask、allow、advise、wish、force、get、teach、encourage、inspire、order、invite、need等。
