The Career I Pursue

Many a time in my life I've been thinking about my future: what career shall I take and what can I do to prepare myself for it. My idea changed from time to time, but now, I've made up my mind that I'll be a college teacher.

As a teacher, you are your own boss. You are not supervised① hour by your employers. And you are not frequently told what to do or how to do it. The content of your lessons and the way you give your lessons are largely determined by yourself, which allows you more freedom and leaves more room for your imagination and creativity②. I love the idea of being my own boss. Besides, the college is a place where you can enrich your knowledge and improve yourself. You can learn much from your colleagues. And also you can enjoy yourself by watching the development of your students, which gives you a sense of achievement③.

But teaching is a demanding career, too. I must read as widely as I can to acquire the knowledge needed for teaching. In this way I will be able to teach convincingly④ and vividly⑤. Teaching is partly talking to the students. From now on, I'll practise more in speech and develop a sense of humor.

I love to be a teacher. I might not be a good teacher, but I will be a devoted teacher.

【注释】

①supervised: 监督

②creativity: 创造力

【简评】

本文是一篇提纲式的议论文。

作者紧密围绕Career I Pursue 这个主题，开门见山地提出自己想成为a college teacher。接着又谈到选择教师岗位的原因。首先是教师可be my own boss；而且在大学里可扩宽知识，提高自己，向同事学习；并可通过观察自己学生的进展享受到a sense of achievement。然后用But转折指出教学是a demanding career。因此作者决心努力拓宽知识，练习演讲，以适应职业需要。最后用I love to be a teacher重申理想，结束全文。
