Lesson 55 Look into the Future

Lesson 55 Look into the Future

In Ms. Cox’s class, the students are working on a group project. They are discussing their plans for the future.

Brian: What do you want to be when you grow up, Jenny?

Jenny: I think I’d like to be a pilot. I love to travel, and it would be fun to fly an airplane. What do you want to be?

Brian: I want to be a boss and manage a big company. I could make a lot of money.

Jenny: Well, I don’t doubt you would be a good boss, but I don’t think wealth is the most important thing in life. We should do things we enjoy. You like painting, and you are good at it.

Brian: That’s true. Perhaps I can be a painter. How about you, Steven?

Steven: Me? I’d like to be a transportation engineer. I would invent things that help improve the environment. Maybe I could invent a solar-powered plane.

Kate: That’s a cool idea! I think I would enjoy being a cook. I love cooking, and I like creating new dishes myself.

Danny:Great! I’ll go to your restaurant! As for me, I’m going to choose the most fun and exciting job in the world. I’m going to be an astronaut!

Brian:Astronauts need to know a lot about science, Danny. Science isn’t your best subject in school. I think you should be a basketball player.

Danny: Hmm... I think I’m going to be an astronaut, but maybe I can play basketball in the spaceship!
