题目内容:
I'm often asked the question “How did you become a reporter?” You see, everybody expected me to follow in my father's footsteps and become a doctor. Well, during my last year of school I visited a career counselor(置业顾问)named Lisa and I drove her crazy with my choices.
My first choice was a chocolate tester. Although Lisa didn't know the job well, she got me some information about it. I discovered that chocolate testers make a lot of money, so I was sure I had found my dream job. However, when I found out that chocolate testers don't just sit around eating chocolate all day, I lost my interest.
Next, I thought of becoming a football referee(裁判). I had loved football from a young age, but being a professional footballer was out of the question, as I couldn't play very well. However, it seems that referees must be able to run two and a half miles in less than twelve minutes and they are required to take exams throughout their training. So, my dream of becoming a referee died.
Finally, I had this idea of becoming a dog stylist(造型师). That was after I realized how much money our dog stylist, Shirley, was being paid. However, once, while she was styling Philipo. I noticed that he tried to bite(咬)her. “It happens all the time," she told me. As you can imagine, that really put me off.
To cut a long story short, all this research made me realize I had a talent for investigation(调查)so by the end of school year I had decided to become a reporter.
