讀寫任務 。
閱讀下面的短文, 然后按照要求寫一篇150詞左右的英語短文。
Dear Jane,
     My dear daughter, do you know how shocked I was to be told that you have chosen to be a
journalist? A short, slim and weak girl like you should take such a job as her career! Do you know
how worried I am? Do you still remember your dear Uncle Danny, my handsome and wise younger
brother? The insightful and strong willed journalist honored in the press circle, was sent to report
what was happening in the Middle East. He left with a strong sense of duty but never returned home.
We did not get the news until 4 months after his death, and his ashes until 2 years later. I was crying
my heart out with you in my arms...
     You are only 18 years old and never old enough to make such a hasty decision for your life. Let’ s
try to see what you have. You are learning as one of the top students in a school famous all over the
country. You can choose to go to an ideal university without sitting for the exam. You are now one of
the masters among your contemporaries. Just think of 4 years later when you graduate from an
excellent university and, I am sure, many good jobs are waiting for you, but not to be a journalist. I
am so proud of you and you have been my hope in my heart since your father’ s death. I would not
like to be alone when my only daughter finishes college and works for a job that totally fails to give me
a sense of security.
     Jane, think about it carefully.
                                                                                                                                Sincerely,
                                                                                                                                  Mom

One possible version
Dear Mum，
      How moved I am to receive your letter, from which I know your unselfish love for me. I know the
reason you don’t want me to be a journalist is that Uncle Danny’ s death makes you worried about my
safety.
     I can never do enough to repay your love. However, my dream is to be a journalist, because it is
a noble job with a deep concern for society. A good journalist can go deep into society to cover the
most shocking, exciting and amazing events, and also interview those who can benefit people and
those who should be helped. It is a job with not only sweat but also the pleasure of its own. The real
meaning of journalism is to work for the community and for the public cause. Journalists are capable
of doing right to what is unfair.
     Mum, I know very well what a great challenge it is for me to be a journalist. It means less rest and
more hard work. This is so harsh for a little girl like me. But such difficulty seems nothing to me when
compared to a great cause of journalism. I can look after myself. Mum, please think about my idea.
