May: So you are going to graduate from your university. Do you have any plans for the future?
Lisa: I want to look for a job, but I also feel that I need to know more about my subject of study.
May: I think if you feel that way, then going to graduate school is the right path for you.
Lisa: I have considered that. But sometimes I feel that I just don't have the passion for the college life any more.
May: Why?
Lisa: I don't know. Maybe I am just feeling a little bit tired after so many years of study.
May: Yeah, graduate school is an energy and time consuming endeavor.
Lisa: What's more, I am really busy right now, writing my graduate thesis and preparing for the interview. If I look for a job, I surely will have no time for the graduate school entrance exam.
May: Have you figured out what career you want?
Lisa: No, not yet. But a career that requires advanced education is always my dream: college professor, biologist, lawyer, researcher, doctor…
May: You are so ambitious! But which subject do you want to work on?
Lisa: I don't know. I think probably I need to buy a few years while I figure out about my career.
May: Then why not get a job and have someone pay you? You can still go to graduate school later if you need or want to.
Lisa: Yeah, and I think I will be a much better student once I know what I am there for.
May: Yeah, after gaining some work experience, you will be much clearer about what you are doing now.
Lisa: Exactly, I need to make a decision at once. Time and tide wait for no man.

阿美: 你要大学毕业了，对将来有什么打算吗？
利莎: 我想找份工作，但是我又感觉需要对我所学的专业有更进一步的了解。
阿美: 如果你那样想的话，去念研究生是你最好的选择。
利莎: 我也那样考虑过，但是有时候我感觉自己没有激情继续过大学生活了。
阿美: 为什么？
利莎: 我也不知道。也许经过这么多年的学习，我感觉有点倦怠了。
阿美: 嗯，研究生学院是一个消磨精力和时间的地方。
利莎: 还有，我现在真的很忙，写我的论文，准备答辩。如果我要找工作，我就真的没有时间准备研究生入学考试了。
阿美: 你想过要从事什么职业吗？
利莎: 还没有，但是要求高等教育水平的职业一直是我的梦想，比如大学教授、生物学家、律师、研究员、医生等等。
阿美: 你真有志向！但是你想从事哪方面的工作呢？
利莎: 我不知道，我想我可能需要几年的时间来确定我的职业方向。
阿美: 为什么不找份工作，先赚点钱呢？如果你需要或者想念研究生，你可以以后去。
利莎: 嗯，我想当我更明确自己的目标以后，我会是个更加优秀的学生。
阿美: 是啊，等你获得一些工作经验以后，你就会更清楚你现在在做什么。
利莎: 没错，我需要立刻做决定。时间不等人嘛。

Classroom Problem Solver
It's no easy way to be a good teacher since there are so many classroom problems to solve. For example, some students just love to talk. What can you do to quiet them down? A good method to solve this problem is to stand by the student for a minute or two, perhaps making eye contact with him, while continuing to present your lesson. Your presence will likely be sufficient to quiet him down.
