We all dream about things that we would like to do we hope to achieve in the future．But are everybody’s dreams the same? Here are some of the findings of a survey about hopes and dreams, in which thousands of students across China took part in it.

What are the hopes of teenagers?

We received several different answers to the question: what would you like to do after finishing your education? I t seems some students would like to start work as soon as possible, so that they can help provide better lives for their parents．Other students hope to continue studying after finis hing school and to go to university．Although money is important, many teenagers said they want to do jobs they enjoy．According to the survey, the most popular choice of job is computer programming.

What are the dreams of teenagers?

Teenagers have all kinds of dreams．Some are more realistic than others．For example, many students said they would like to be volunteers if Beijing could hold the World Cup, maybe working as translators or tour guides．And some said they dream of going to the moon one day.

According to the survey, less realistic dreams are also common, but many students reported that they were willing to work hard to achieve their dreams．Quite a few dream of becoming famous, perhaps famous sports people or singers．Some said they’d like to go on exciting trips; one student said she’d love to sail across the Pacific Ocean．And then there are dreams that are impossible; three students said they’d like to be able to fly!

onclusion: It was clear from the survey that teenagers have similar hopes．It seems that most stude nts hope to have a good education and find a good joB． On the other hand, students dream of very different things: good things, and even crazy things．It is very important to dream, so hold on your dreams; one day they may just come true.

2.Why would some students like to start work as soon as possible?

Country music is a kind of modern-day pop music, originated (起源) in the southern United States and Appalachia mountains. The singers usually play the guitar, and in the 1920s they started using electric guitars. Nowadays people use the violin, banjo, and slide-guitar as well.

The music at the very beginning was generally very smooth, beautiful and the phrasing structure (句法結(jié)構(gòu)) also was simple. In the 1950s, American country music was about other things, for example, love and money. In the 1960s, songs were often full of anger, and some of them made fun of the political (政治的) leaders. During the 1990s, American country music became more and more popular. Song writers were no longer writing about the modern values of the USA—money, success or expensive things to buy. Instead they were writing once more about things that were usual for everyone.

Today country music has become a big business. It brings in a lot of money. Now, it has reached all parts of the States, from Los Angeles in the west to New York in the east. It remains much the same as before. One subject is “the good old days”. In “the good old days” people praised each other. They believed that the best things in life were free: sunshine, laughing, walks in the beauty of the country, friends and music.

China has Mid-Autumn Festival. Canada and the USA have Thanksgiving Day. Many countries in the world have harvest festivals. This is the best time for the harvest—bringing all the crops in from the field. In the United States, every year, Thanksgiving Day is on the fourth Thursday of November. Because Canada is to the north(北面) of the USA, and is colder, the harvest comes earlier in the year. In Canada, people have Thanksgiving Day six weeks earlier than in the USA. The harvest brings a lot of food to the people. On Thanksgiving Day, people in America and Canada like to have a big family meal with their friends—just like Chinese people do at Mid-Autumn Festival. Many Canadians and Americans put flowers, vegetables, and fruit in their homes to say ‘Thank you’ for the harvest. At a Thanksgiving Day dinner, many Canadians and Americans will eat turkey and pumpkin pies. These are foods like the foods of many years ago. They are saying “Thank you” for the harvest that comes every year.

“If you want to see a thing well, reach out and touch it！”
