We all dream about things that we would like to do and things 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, and 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? It 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 finishing 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
quite a few 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 students
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!
Conclusion
It was clear from the survey that teenagers
have similar hopes. It seems that most students 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.
