假定你是李华，你正在做一个问卷调查，以了解中英高中生在未来大学专业选择上的差异。请你用英文给英国好友Jim写封邮件，内容包括： 1．问卷内容；2.请求答卷并转发。
Dear Jim，
Hope this email finds you well! I’m writing to ask for your help with a research project I’m currently working on—exploring the differences in university major preferences between Chinese and British high school students. Your support would mean a lot to me, as it will help make my research more comprehensive and accurate.
The purpose of this questionnaire is to identify the most popular university majors among students in both countries, understand the key factors that influence our major choices, and learn about the sources of guidance we rely on when making this important decision. The questionnaire includes only three simple questions, so it won’t take you more than 5 minutes to complete:
What are your top three favorite university majors (in order of preference)
When choosing a major, which factors do you consider most important (You can select multiple options, such as career prospects, personal interest, salary potential, parental advice, academic strengths, or social needs.)
Who do you usually turn to for advice when deciding on a university major (e.g., parents, teachers, friends, career counselors, online resources, or alumni.)
I would be extremely grateful if you could take a moment to fill out the attached questionnaire honestly. Additionally, could you please forward it to your friends, classmates, and other high school students you know in the UK The more responses I receive, the more reliable my research results will be. There’s no need to worry about personal information—all responses will be kept anonymous and used only for academic research purposes.
Thank you so much for your kindness and support! Please let me know if you have any questions about the questionnaire, and feel free to share any thoughts you have on this topic. Looking forward to your reply and the completed questionnaire soon.
Yours，
Li Hua
2．告知信
假设你是晨光中学的李华，你的英国好友 Peter 最近给你来信，询问你对自己未来职业的规划。请你给他回信，内容要点包括：1. 梦想中的职业；2. 选择此职业原因；3. 如何为实现梦想努力。
Dear Peter，
I was so happy to receive your letter—thank you so much for caring about my future career plans! I’m more than willing to share my thoughts with you in detail.
My dream career is to become a pediatrician—a doctor who specializes in treating children. Ever since I was a child, I’ve been passionate about helping others, and there’s something especially rewarding about caring for kids. What really solidified my decision was the experience during the pandemic a few years ago. I saw countless medical workers, including many pediatricians, leave their own families to work on the front lines, risking their safety to treat sick children and reassure worried parents. Their courage, kindness, and dedication deeply touched me. I realized then that being a pediatrician isn’t just a job—it’s a chance to ease suffering, bring hope to families, and make a real difference in children’s lives. I love working with kids; their innocence, resilience, and ability to find joy even in difficult times always inspire me. Moreover, I believe that children are the future of our society, and ensuring their health and well-being is one of the most meaningful things I can do.
To make this dream a reality, I’ve been working hard and making concrete plans. First of all, I’m focusing on my academic performance—especially in science subjects like biology, chemistry, and physics, which are essential for medical school. I’ve been attending extra tutoring classes for chemistry and reading medical popularization books in my spare time to deepen my understanding of the medical field. Secondly, I’m trying to gain practical experience related to healthcare. Last summer, I volunteered at a local children’s hospital, where I helped nurses take care of young patients, organized small activities for them, and observed how doctors interacted with kids. This experience made me more confident that I’m suited for this career. Additionally, I’m practicing my communication skills, as pediatricians need to not only treat illnesses but also communicate effectively with children and their parents. Finally, I’m researching top medical universities both in China and abroad, so I can set clear goals for my college applications.
What about your career plans Have you figured out what you want to do in the future I’d love to hear all about it! Looking forward to your early reply.
Yours，
Li Hua
3．演讲稿
假如你是李华，你们学校将举办一场是否需要为高中生开设职业生涯规划的辩论会，请你介绍你自己的想法。内容包括：
1．你的观点；2. 你的理由；3. 你的建议。
Dear judges and fellow students，
Good morning/afternoon! Today, I’m honored to share my opinion on whether high school students should be offered career planning courses. After careful consideration, I firmly believe that such courses are not just necessary but essential for our growth and future development.
First and foremost, career planning courses help us gain a clearer understanding of ourselves. As high school students, many of us are confused about our interests, strengths, and weaknesses. We often choose university majors or future careers based on trends, parental expectations, or simply because we don’t know what else to choose. A good career planning course can guide us to reflect on our passions, assess our abilities, and identify our unique values—all of which are crucial for making informed career decisions. Secondly, these courses provide us with valuable information about different careers and industries. Most of us have limited knowledge of the professional world; we may only be familiar with common jobs like doctors, teachers, or engineers, but there are countless other career options waiting for us to explore. Career planning courses can introduce us to various occupations, their requirements, development prospects, and daily work content, helping us broaden our horizons and make more realistic choices. Additionally, career planning courses teach us practical skills such as goal-setting, time management, and resume writing. These skills are not only useful for choosing a career but also beneficial for our academic studies and future work. Finally, such courses can reduce the pressure and anxiety we face when making career decisions. With clear guidance and a better understanding of our options, we can avoid making hasty choices that we might regret later.
Based on these reasons, I have a few suggestions for how to design these career planning courses. First, incorporate a mix of theoretical lessons and practical activities. For example, invite professionals from different fields to give lectures and share their work experiences; organize career exploration workshops, internships, or company visits; and arrange one-on-one career counseling sessions for students who need personalized guidance. Second, make the courses interactive and student-centered. Encourage us to participate in group discussions, role-plays, and career assessment tests, so we can actively engage in the learning process. Third, start the courses early—preferably in Grade 10 or 11—so we have enough time to explore our options and prepare for our future careers.
In conclusion, career planning courses are a valuable investment in our future. They help us understand ourselves better, explore career opportunities, acquire practical skills, and make confident career choices. I sincerely hope that our school will consider offering such courses to help every student embark on a fulfilling and successful career path.
Thank you!

“Dad，I don’t think I can do medicine，” I said, taking a deep breath and staring at my shoes, too nervous to meet his eyes. For years, my father had dreamed of me following in his footsteps and becoming a doctor—just like him, his father, and generations before us. It was a family tradition, a source of pride, and I knew my words would disappoint him deeply.
Hearing this, my father fell silent. I could feel his gaze on me, and when I finally looked up, I saw that he had lowered his eyes, his expression heavy with obvious disappointment. His shoulders slouched a little, and for a moment, he looked older than I had ever seen him. I felt a sharp pain in my chest—guilt and sadness welled up inside me, and I was almost close to tears. I wanted to apologize, to take back my words, but I knew I couldn’t—medicine had never been my passion, and I couldn’t spend my life pursuing a career that didn’t make me happy.
But to my great relief, after a long pause, his face lit up when he looked at me again. He glanced down at Jerry, our golden retriever, who was lying quietly beside his feet, his tail wagging gently. Then he turned back to me, his voice soft and warm: “Think about Jerry. When we first got him, you expected him to be a hunting dog—just like his father. But no matter how hard we tried to train him, he just wasn’t interested. He’d rather chase butterflies in the yard or curl up on the couch with us than run after game. And you know what That’s okay. It’s a good thing, in fact. Jerry found his own joy in being a companion, not a hunter. Now we’ll just wait to see how you run—what makes you come alive, what path you choose to follow.”
He stepped forward and gave me a tight, warm hug. I could feel his love and acceptance in that embrace, and all the tension and guilt I had been feeling melted away. “Good night, son,” he said, patting my back gently before turning and walking out of my room.
At that moment, I understood my father as I never had before. He didn’t care about the family tradition as much as he cared about my happiness and fulfillment. The love and trust I felt seemed to fill the entire room, wrapping around me like a warm blanket. I looked down at Jerry, who had fallen asleep on the floor, his legs twitching suddenly as if he were running through a field of flowers even in his dream. To him, running freely and being with us was the greatest honor—hunting birds no longer mattered. To me, being a doctor was not my ideal choice, but that didn’t mean I was lost. There were new paths waiting for me, new dreams to chase.
In the days that followed, I started exploring my true interests. I had always loved writing and telling stories, so I began taking journalism classes, joining the school newspaper, and interviewing people in different fields. My father supported me every step of the way—he read my articles, asked about my classes, and even introduced me to a friend who worked as a journalist. Slowly, I found my own “run”—a passion that made me excited to get up in the morning, that challenged me, and that felt truly meaningful.
Years later, when I graduated from university with a degree in journalism and got a job at a renowned news agency, I brought my father a copy of my first published feature article. He read it slowly, a smile spreading across his face. “This is your calling, son,” he said, patting my hand. “I’m proud of you—not because you’re following a tradition, but because you found what you love and had the courage to pursue it.” In that moment, I knew that Jerry had been right all along—happiness comes not from living up to others’ expectations, but from finding your own path and running with all your heart.
