小试牛刀

• How much time should students spend planning their future? Why?

  参考答案：

  If you don’t spend any time planning a future, it may never happen. If you spend too much time planning it, it won’t happen either, because you won’t actually be doing anything about it, only thinking. We think the father in Catching Crabs is right: You need to spend some time thinking about what you enjoy and what interests you, where your skills are, and then plan to try some jobs in those areas in order to discover what you are good at and what makes you happy. We think, as students, this is as much a matter of thinking and planning as of trying out different things, for example, doing part-time jobs and holiday works to get experience. So we conclude by saying that planning and doing go together, really.
