I'm not really sure what l will do in ten years．I guess that l will get a job，but I don't know what job I want to do yet．Maybe an actor or a film maker? But I can clearly tell you what I'll do next week—celebrate my birthday with friends．

There's one thing I really want to do and that is to travel around the world．Hopefully I will live somewhere completely different in ten years-some where really interesting like Australia or even Japan．I'd like to be a teacher and I'll probably teach English．Then I can go to almost any country and find a job．

When I was little．I always said l wanted to be a doctor and that hasn't changed.1 will definitely（一定地)study medicine after I finish high school．I know it will be a lot of hard work，but it's my dream．So in ten years I guess I will work in a hospital as a doctor and save people's lives．

I'm not really sure about the future．I know that I'm going to go to university but I also imagine that I will get married(结婚)sometime in the next ten years．I'd like to have a family but I also want to have an interesting job． I'm interested in environmental protection, so in ten years，I'll probably work as a scientist and help develop，alternative energy(替代能源)or something like that．

Dear Diary,
What a day! I started at my new school this homing and had a great time．I made lots of new fiends and really liked my teachers．I was so nervous last night．but I had no reason to be．Everyone was so friendly．They made me feel at home!
The day started very early at 7：00 a．m．I had breakfast with my mom．She could tell(看出)that I was very anxious ． Mom kept asking me what was wrong．I thought she knew that l was nervous about starting at a new school．She told me I had nothing to worry about and that everyone would be friendly and love me．
My mom dropped me off(让我下车)at the school gate at about 7：50 a．m．A little blonde girl got dropped off at the same time and started waving(挥手)at me．She ran over and told me her name was Abigail．It turned out that we were in the same class．Abigail was very nice and we became close fight away．We spent all morning together and began to talk with another girl called Stacey．The three of us sat together in class all day and we even made our way home together! Time went by so quickly．Our teacher told us that tomorrow we would really start learning and developing new skills．
It is late now so I am going to sleep，but I cannot wait until tomorrow! I believe I'm going to enjoy my time at my new school! I hope that my new friends feel the same too．
