What’s your 2022?

Thomas I’m not very sure what I will be in ten years. Maybe a cook or a film director(导演). But I can tell you what I’ll be doing next week—having a birthday party with my friends.

Emma There is one thing I really want to do and that is to travel around the world. Hope I will be living somewhere different in ten years, like Australia or maybe Japan—who knows? I’d like to be a teacher and I think it must be great fun to teach English.

Ken When I was young I always said I wanted to be a doctor and that hasn’t changed. I will study medicine (医学) after I finish school. It will be hard work, but it’s my dream. So in ten years I hope I will either be working in a hospital or as a doctor with my own surgery (诊疗室).

Mary I’m not really sure about the future. I’m interested in the environment (环境), so I’ll probably be working as a scientist and helping make a greener world or something like that.
