Question

第二節(jié)讀寫任務(wù)（共1小題，滿分25分）

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。

When I was a teenager, my dad did everything he could to advise me against becoming a brewer(啤酒制造者). He didn’t even want me anywhere near a vat(釀酒用的桶). So I did as he asked. I got good grades and went to Harvard.

In the second year, I began to realize that I’d never done anything but go to school. So, at 24 I decided to drop out (輟學(xué))for some time. Obviously, my parents didn’t think this was a great idea. But I felt strongly that one can’t wait till he is 65 to do what he wants to in life. Having worked for 2 years, I went back to Harvard to continue my study.

After graduation, I got a highly-paid job in Boston. After working there five years, I wondered, “Is this what I want to be doing when I’m 50?” At that time, Americans spent good money on beer in low quality. Why not make good beer for Americans? I thought.

I decided to quit my job to become a brewer. When I told Dad, he was astonished, but in the end he supported me. Six weeks later, at the Great American Beer Festival, my Sam Adams Boston Lager（淡啤酒） won the top prize for American beer. In the end I was destined(注定) to be a brewer. My advice to the young is simple: decide by yourselves not your seniors what you should do for a life when you are young.

Answer 1

【答案】

The author tells us that he became successful in his life by making decisions by himself in spite that his decisions didn’t agree with his father’s, which is advice for the young.

It can often be seen that parents force their children to do what they expect them to for a life. However, this may often lead to conflicts between children and parents, sometimes even unfortunate consequences. As is known, anything the children decide to do when they are young will generally be their lifelong careers. If parents’ advice is against their ambitions or interests, they may be failures without the sense of achievement. Therefore, if parents care about their children’s future success and happiness, please respect their ambitions and choices.

But do you think it needs communication and proper tactics to make your parents to respect your choice and ambition? Here is an example in my life. When I was about to graduate from junior school, one of my friends, who loved auto engineering, decided not to go to high school, but go to a vocational to learn auto engineering. His parents were terribly against his idea. One evening, he sat by his father and asked a question what would increase fastest in the future 10 years. His father realized what he wanted to say after giving him the answer. They talked about cars and car repairing for hours. His parents eventually agreed with him and supported his choice. From the above, we can draw a conclusion that if you try to solve the problem by communication and proper tactics to make your parents understand your decision, they will respect your choice and ambition.
