China news, Shanghai, October 8—- According to a random survey covering 3,800 elementary
and secondary school students in Shanghai, the two groups of students have very different career
outlooks．Most pupils dream of starting their own business after graduation, while high school
students long for freelancing．
“It’s so cool to be your own boss, and you can decide when to start a day’s work,” said Jay (not
his real name), a fifth grade pupil．The hottest topic between him and his classmates is usually
about their future careers, and many of them have already had a thorough plan for the future．Jay
says that he will start his business with his friends in a few years after graduating from college,
when he will have already accumulated some money．
High school students’ choices tend to be more reasonable．Some of them say they will take an
ordinary full- time job, while many of them also appreciate the freedom of freelancing: however,
most of them will think twice before starting their own businesses, as it is extremely difficult to
start a career from scratch．

Last week my class discussed whether dialects should be on TV．45% of us thought a
television play is more interesting and enjoyable if the local dialect is spoken．Dialects can show
different cultures in different places, so that people can learn more about our own country．55% of
us didn't agree with them．They thought as people in a developing country are in close touch with
each other there should be a common language for better communication．

be a doctor, I can have a very good income．We have to admit that money is important．With it, I
can live more comfortably and provide my child with a better environment．If I have enough
money, I can also help the poor．Wouldn’t it be wonderful? More importantly, doctors are angels
to the patients, who can help the sick get rid of pain and suffering or even give a second life to the
dying．I can’t imagine how great I will feel when seeing a patient recover from the illness and live
happily again because of my help．
Now what I should do is to study hard to make sure I can enter a famous medicine university,
