　　我們從小可能會對自己的career path有所設想，不過現實往往跟我們的計劃不太一樣，比如從小立志當科學家的小朋友，長大後可能去賣了假藥，而發下毒誓絕對不當老師的孩子，可能正奮鬥在教學一線……

　　所以，在對自己的未來做規劃的時候，難免會有改變主意的情況。如果被問到an occasion when you changed your plan，不妨編一個「童年夢想vs.長大後夢想」的故事，說不定還能跟interesting job這個話題聯繫上!

　　This topic reminds me of the time I changed my mind about what I want to do in the future. Here’s what happened.

　　I』d always wanted to be a teacher when I was little, 『cause I used to think teachers know everything and it’s the coolest job in the whole wide world. And teachers are highly respected by others.

　　However, I had a change of mind when I was in high school. At that time, my grandpa was diagnosed with terminal cancer. And he went to all of the hospitals in my hometown, but things didn’t get any better. We were told that there was only 3 months left for him. So in the end, we went to Beijing, and made an appointment with a famed doctor. He treated my grandpa with the most advanced medical technique and drugs that just came on the market. And miraculously, my grandpa lived 5 more years because of this doctor and his excellent team. I am so grateful to the doctor for everything he did for my family.

　　So from that moment on, I decided that I would be a doctor in the future. It’s a rewarding and fulfilling job. Doctors give people hope, and they comfort patients and their family when they are so desperate.
