My Next 10 Years

In the first two years, I'll do my best at the graduate school. I want to learn more professional skills from my director. Also, I want to endeavor myself qualify as an exchange student. That's say I need to improve my English conversation skills, try to not afraid to speak out.

If I can study abroad, I'll take my any opportunity learning many kinds of cultures in the local area . I want to take a look around the world and make friends with foreign.

After I get the master's degree, I'll look for a good job. Maybe be a programmer, or a computer engineer. In the period, I'll consecrate myself to job and try to go to the higher position step by step. I want to be a manager before I'm 30 years old.

I'll enrich my fortune during the period of working to make my family have a affluent life and prepare for my retirement.

I want to have a pretty house, having a pet, many large bookcases and a good component stereo. I like reading. So I will stock the bookcase with a lot of books which are my favorite. I can relax myself in my little wonderland.

Pen Pal-The First Letter I Recieve

Dear Jojo:

I was very excited to receive my first letter from someone I don't know.

I come from Malaysia, but now I study in NTU, which is close to your school. Different from you, I'm a junior at the school. I major in medicine.

We have a lot of clubs in our school. I'm in the badminton club. I have a badminton pratice for two hours or so every day. I've liked to be active. What sport do you like?

You say you love reading, so am I. I like whodunit. It's so exciting and the always resourceful
principal. Maybe you can recommend me some new books on this area?

Hope our friendship may be deeper.

Pen Pal-The first letter I send

Dear Jackal:

Hello, I'm Jojo. This is the frist letter that Ihave ever written to a foreighner, so I am not sure if I can make myself understood well.

First, Let me introduce myself. I come from Taiwan. I study in NTUST(National Taiwan University of Science and Technology), which is in Taipei. That's my last year in the school. I'm major in information management.

I like reading, and novel is my favorite, including whodunit, romance, fantacy. Listening to the
music is another hobby of mine. R&B always impress me. Jazz make me relaxed. Nothing less than hip-hop can let me jump for joy. Do you like it?

I wish you'll be my good pin pal. I am looking froward to hearing from you soon.

Jojo

What's the Matter?

Carla: So, how are things going, Steve?

Steve: Well, to be honest Carla, I was feeling great on Saturday, but I started to feel sick Sunday afternoon. I thought I'd get better, but I feel worse than before. And I'm really worried because I'm scheduled to give a presentation at work on Friday, so I have to be better by then.

Carla: Well, what seems to be the problem?

Steve: Well, I thought I had the flu, but the doctor said it was just a bad cold. He gave me some cold medicine to take care of my stuffy nose and fever. I'm suppose to take the medicine three times a day after eating, but it doesn't seem to help. He also told me to stay off my feet for a day or so, but I'm so busy these days.

Carla: Listen, forget about that medicine! I have just the thing to get rid of bad colds. You see, my mom is really into herbal medicine.

• rid of 除去

i.e. I want to rid this city of corruption!

• herbal medicine 草藥

Steve: Oh, no thanks.

Carla: Ah, come on! Give it a try. You just take some of my mom's herbal tea and drink it four times a day. Believe me. You'll be up and dancing around in no time.

• in no time 迅速 不用多少時間

Steve: Dancing around in no time, right? Well, I guess. Nothing else seems to be doing the job.

Carla: Great. I'll come by your place at 7:30. See you then.
