Homework
Does the author convince you that being a volcanologist is an exciting job Give your reasons. (Pay attention to the usage of various figures of speech.)
Sample：
I am completely convinced of the fact that being a volcanologist is an exciting job. Sometimes working outdoors, sometimes in an office, sometimes using scientific equipment and sometimes meeting local people and tourists, a volcanologist is never bored. In addition, the beauty of volcanoes excites the volcanologists, the potential to cause great damage excites the volcanologists and even the occasional dangers excite the volcanologists too. Having collected and evaluated the information, they can help other scientists to predict where lava from the volcano will flow next and how fast, which makes their job significant, because it can warn people in the path of the lava to leave their houses. What makes it really exciting is that they have more chances to observe eruption itself. When a volcano erupts, red hot lava was fountaining hundreds of meters into the air, which can make night as bright as day.
