Everyone has a dream job and we all hope our dreams can come true. Mr Black works as a reporter at a TV station. He wants to know what jobs teenagers are going to do when they grow up. He went to the Evergreen School to do a survey last Friday.

Mr Black asked the students to discuss with each other and then fill in the form with a pen. He told them to tell the truth. Mr Black thought most students would be teachers. The teacher is one of the best professions(职业) in the world. Maybe some students would be scientists. Rich knowledge would help them. A few students would be soldiers(士兵) because they could keep our country beautiful and peaceful.

Teachers helped Mr Black before school was over. They gave out one thousand eight hundred papers to the students. When the survey’s result came out, Mr Black and the teachers were surprised. Please look at the results.
