（一）預測范文

In the past two years of my college life, I have never ceased to think what kind of work I shall take up upon graduation. Although my ideas are not consistent, I have now decided on a college teacher as my lifelong career.

A variety of factors have led me to choose this occupation over other more lucrative ones. To begin with, teaching means freedom and independence. As a teacher, I am free to use my own ideas ancahtcad make my own decisions, a privilege not everyone can have, even those with highly-paid positions. More importantly, I like teaching in that it offers a certain peace of mind. No more rushing to catch a morning bus, no more anxiety to please a boss, no more worries about your paycheck which is steady, if not handsome.

Nothing, not even a big salary, can equal the satisfaction of being your own boss and a gentle peace of life.

（二）參考譯文

在過去兩年的大學生活中，我一刻也沒有停止過思考：我大學畢業以后要從事什么樣的工作。盡管我的想法很多，但我現在已經決定，我的終身職業將是做一名大學教師。

我選擇當老師而不是其他薪水更為豐厚的職業，其中緣由有很多。首先，當老師意味著自由和獨立。作為一名教師我可以自由地運用自己的想法和做決定，而這種特權并不是每一個人都可以擁有的，即使是那些身處高薪職位的人。更重要的是，我喜歡當教師，是因為這項工作可以給人一定程度上的安寧。我無需每天早上去趕公共汽車，無需為取悅老板而焦慮不安，無需擔心自己的薪水，雖然不是那么豐厚，但卻十分穩定。

沒有任何東西可以抵得上自己做主人的樂趣和平靜安寧的生活，即使是高工資也無法做到這一點。
