我喜欢我的工作(the job i like best)
    in the past three years of my college life i have never ceased to think what kind of work i shall take up upon graduation. although my ideas are not consistent, i have decided on a college teacher as my life-long career.
    a variety of reasons have led me to choose this occupation over other more lucrative ones. first, teaching is learning. to make my lectures more constructive and stimulating, i have to read more books, explore new knowledge and gain a better understanding of the world the very thing i enjoy in my life. second, teaching means freedom and independence. as a teacher, i`m free to use my own ideas and make my own decisions, a privilege not everyone can have, even those with highly-paid positions. finally, i like teaching because it offers certain peace of mind. no more rushing to catch a morning bus, no more anxiety to please a boss, no more worries about your paycheck which is steady, if not handsome.
    nothing, not even a big salary, can equal for the opportunity to continue learning,the satisfaction of being your own boss,and a gentle peace of life.
