     My abmition for the future is to become a successful interpreter. I have always liked learning languages because I think ti is interesting to learn about the cultures behind the languages. For me, being an interpreter would enable me to help people from different cultures communitcate with each other.
     to make my dream come true, I first need to have a good command of English, Chinese, and perhaps even another foreign language. I must master every area of these languages, including reading, writing, speaking, and listening. That way, I will be able to translate correctly and fluently from one language to another. Second, I must read extensively and absorb all kinds of information so that I will be able to quickly understand the basic background of whatever I am interpreting.
     I am confident that by doing thest things I will be able to attain my goal of becoming an interpreter one day. 


範文II：（參見效率英文寫作, P75, 空中美語編著）


     I have long hoped to become an engineer. When I was small, I liked to play with toy cars, toy trains, and building blocks. When my toy train started moving after I put in its batteries or when I finished building a house or a castle in strange and amazing shapes, I felt very happy and had a great sense of achievement. It was then that I became interested in machinery and architecture. 
     Later, after entering high school, I did very well in scinece. Thise further strengthened my ambition to study engineering in college. The final reason for my ambition is that in this age of information, an engineer plays an important and indispensable role. I want to become a successful engineer and devote myself to making people's lives better, safer, and more conveninet. I am firmly convinced that if I continue to work hard, I will realize my dream some day.
