　　Kate wants to be a nurse and work with sick people. She knows  they need her help. When Kate goes to the hospital, she always sees many people there.

　　Last summer Kate broke her leg. The pain（疼痛）was very great and she could not even walk. Her parents took her to the hospital by car, and she had to stay there about one month. She could not  leave her bed for the first few days, so she was not very happy.

　　One day a nurse came to Kate's bed and said with a smile,  " You will be better soon. You can walk again, so don't think only about bad things. Try to be happy !" The nurse was very kind and  they became friends.

　　After Kate left the hospital she thought a lot about the kind  nurse. She now understands that the work of a nurse is very  important, because they can often give hope to sick people.

　　Kate is now thinking about her own future. She often talks with  her parents about it. Kate knows what she should do to be a good  nurse, and she is studying very hard at school.
