Ⅴ.任务型阅读
A good graduation speech will be unforgettable and even have great influence on the students later on. I still remember the speech given by my headmaster Ms. Smith at the graduation ceremony. Here is what she says.
“By now you have spent most of your time in the books and at school. Some of you have begun to wonder what you are going to do after high school. Will you continue to study Will you learn a trade Or what else have you decided to do Perhaps it is time to think about your choices to prepare for them. Some day work will be a big part of your life.
Think about your interests and skills when you look for a job. You may like to listen to music, dance, play basketball or work with computers. You may know how to drive a car or how to get along with people. Knowing both your interests and skills will help make a better plan for your career.
To get an idea of what work you would like to do, make a list of your interests and skills. Think about what you have done to be successful in your interests. After that, brainstorm a list of career choices that might match your interests and skills. You can later keep your lists with the projects and documents that can help you achieve the career you want. They can help you know more clearly about your achievements in school and in the world of work.
Roberta Zhan, an art designer, finds her work satisfying because it allows her to use her interests and skills. She enjoyed imagining something in her mind while she was in school. She took art, design, and computer lessons, and also learnt about taking photos on her own.
Here is what she says about the meaning of work: If you have a job you like, work means much more than just making money. It means using your talents, making a contribution, and getting a real sense of satisfaction from doing a job.
My dear students, you have achieved a lot during three years' hard work at school, and it is time to think, to observe, to make a decision, and to put all your effort together to make your dream come true. Congratulations on your graduation.”
