做决定的英文作文

Many teenagers have hobbies. But sometimes these hobbies can get in the way of schoolwork, and parents might worry about their child's success at school. Teenagers often think they should be allowed to practice their hobbies as much as they want. Do you agree?Liu Yu, a fifteen-year-old from Shandong, is a running star. He is in his school running team, and has always wanted to be a professional athlete. However, his parents won't allow him to train as much as he would like to. "Of course we want to see Liu Yu achieve his dreams,” says Mr Liu, “and we know how much he loves running. That's great, and my wife and I watched him in every one of his races. We have nothing against running! But we do think that our son needs to be realistic. Now he is getting older, he needs to think about what will happen if he doesn't become a professional runner in the end.”Liu Yu doesn't really agree. “Well, I think I should be allowed to make decisions for myself,” he says. “ My parents have always taught me the importance of working hard and not just to do what I enjoy. I understand this. But I'm serious about running. Being a professional runner is the only thing I have ever wanted to do.”Mr and Mrs Liu believe that Liu Yu should study hard in the evenings, and so they don't allow him to practice running on school nights. “I know this might seem strict,” says Mrs Liu, “but we think we're doing the right thing. He has to understand that very few people can become professional athletes. It's a very difficult dream to achieve. We don't allow him to practice every day because we think he needs to spend time on his homework.”But Liu Yu still doesn't agree. “I know my parents care about me,” he says. “But they are always talking about what will happen if I don't succeed. But I will succeed! I think I should be allowed to make this decision myself. Only then will I have a chance of achieving my dream.”After you read, read aloud the text again, to yourself, or to the tape and copy down all the expressions, too. 翻译：能允许我自己做决定吗？许多青少年有嗜好。 但是有时这些嗜好能妨碍学校作业，而且父母可能为他们的孩子在学校的出色与否担忧。 青少年时常认为他们应该被允许练习像他们一样的很多想要的他们的嗜好。 你同意吗?刘宇, 来自山东的 15 岁跑步明星，他是学校赛跑队中的一员, 而且有总是想要当一位专业的运动员。然而，他的父母却不同意让他尽他所能地多训练。刘先生说：当然我们希望他能实现自己的梦想。这样很好，而且我和我太太观看了他每一次的比赛。我们丝毫没有反对他赛跑。但是我希望我们的儿子面对现实－如果最后他成为不了一个专业运动员怎么办？刘宇并不这么认为，他说：我认为我应该被允许自己做决定，我父母总是教导我努力工作的重要性，而不是任凭自己的爱好行事。我理解他们。但是我也很认真地对待赛跑，成为专业运动员是我目前唯一想做的。刘先生夫妇认为刘宇晚上应该努力学习而不是在学校参加赛跑训练。刘太太说：我知道这样很严格，但我们认为自己是在做正确的事。他应该理解很少人能成为专业运动员，这是一个很难实现的梦想。我们不允许他每天参加训练是因为我们认为他必须花时间在功课上。但是刘宇还是不同意，他说：“我知道父母关心我，但是他们所说的一切都是基于我不能成为一个专业运动员的假设。但是我会成功的，我认为我应该被允许自己做决定。只有这样我才有机会实现自己的梦想。你在读完这篇课文后，请再自己大声朗读一遍，或跟磁带朗读一遍，然后学习课文中的表达法。
