My great love for drawing
My favourite hobby is drawing. I started taking drawing classes when I was five years old, but my interest in drawing started earlier. I could draw pictures on every piece of paper when I was just two. Now I draw almost every day. I draw for an hour in the evening on weekdays. I can spend several hours drawing at weekends. During holidays, I usually take part in drawing competitions.
I never feel bored with drawing. When I draw, I feel calm and creative. It is fun to express my ideas and feelings through colours and lines.
I hope I can become an artist one day.

Read the article by Patrick Moore (1923 – 2012), a British amateur① astronomer, and find out how he turned his interest into a career.
by Patrick Moore
When I was eight, I got a book about stars from my dad as a birthday present. That was the beginning of my lifetime interest.
I used to go outside with my mum on clear nights and look at the sky. It looked like black velvet② with a million diamonds on it. In different seasons, we saw different groups of stars. In winter, the “belt” of Orion appeared in the night sky. In summer, we saw Vega shine brightly as it got dark. Sometimes we saw stars shooting across the sky. How beautiful they were! Every time I looked up, I was amazed.

Studying the stars was great fun for me, and I was extremely curious about the night sky. Once I learnt a little, I soon wanted to find out more and more. I asked all kinds of questions, and my parents were always very patient with me. If they didn’t know the answer, they would encourage me to find the answers in the library. So I read a lot about the topic, and my understanding increased as I grew older.

Now, studying the stars is my career. I host a TV programme called The Sky at Night. I use my knowledge to take people on a journey across the Milky Way and beyond, and I teach my audience about the different stars in a lively way. My TV programme has lasted more than 50 years, and I am really proud of that!
Actually, you too can turn your interests into your career. Anybody can achieve their dreams. You just have to enjoy what you do!

Extending and developing competencies
Focusing on culture
Some people know clearly what they want to do in the future. Others have not decided yet. Let’s explore how people find their dream jobs.
1 Read the article about Jane Goodall and find out how she turned her
interests into her dream job.
Never give up
Jane Goodall is a world-famous scientist. This is the story of how she started her career.
Jane was not very interested in animals when she was a child. Then, one day, her father gave her a toy chimpanzee①. She liked it very much. From that day on, she became really interested in animals.
When she was a 16-year-old schoolgirl, Jane dreamt of a career studying wild animals in Africa.
Jane’s mother said, “If you really want something, work hard and never give up. Then you’ll find a way.”
be interested in 对……感兴趣
从那天起
dream of 梦想
放弃
Jane’s mother was right. When she was 26, Jane travelled from Britain to the mountains of East Africa. She studied chimpanzees there for years. She watched the animals for a long time and they became her friends. Jane discovered that these animals greet one another with a kiss or a hug, and make and use tools—just like humans do.
travel from…to… 从…到…旅行
很长时间
互相亲吻或拥抱打招呼
Some people questioned the methods Jane used in her research. Jane gave the chimpanzees human names and compared them to humans. People at the time thought she should not treat the chimpanzees too much like people. However, Jane did not give up. In the end, her discoveries changed how we think about humans and animals. Nowadays, scientists believe that human beings have a lot in common with chimpanzees.
compare…to… 将…比做…
最后

Jane Goodall is now well known all over the world. She often gives lectures about her work because she wants people to protect the environment. Her life story has inspired many young people the world over.
