Dear editor,

　　I dream that one day I will become a good teacher. To me, it is a great job. But I know that my parents will be 1 it. They want me to be a famous doctor, but I have no 2 in this. What should I do？

Dear Abduway,

　　It sounds like your parents are putting a lot of pressure on you. However, your concern is still only in your head. You haven't yet tried to talk to your 3 . And you know you must talk to them when they are together and at a 4 time. Tell them, without 5 , that your dream is to become a great 6 . Give your reasons for wanting to be a teacher. 7 your plan to get there. What subject do you want to teach？

　　Think about these points so that you can show your parents you are 8 They may not like the idea at first, but with a little time and effort, you can prove to them that this is 9 you really want to do.

　　And you never know, they might surprise you. They might think that you become a teacher is a 10 idea！ Whatever they say, you must remember they only want what's 11 for you. Perhaps they are giving you chances they didn't have when they were 12 and want you to make the most of them.

　　But it is still your life. You cannot live to your parents' 13 . If you become a doctor you probably won't be happy. Then you won't try your best and certainly won't become 14 .

　　Most parents want their kids to be 15 . But in the end, most would rather they were happy.
