Should I Be Allowed to Make My Own Decisions?
Many teenagers have hobbies. But sometimes these can get in the way of their schoolwork, and parents might worry about their success at school. Teenagers often think they should be allowed to practice their hobbies as much as they want. Do you agree?
Liu Yu, a fifteen-year-old boy from Shandong, is a running star. He is on his school team and has always wanted to be a professional runner when he grows up. However, his parents won’t allow him to train so much. “Of course we want to see him achieve his dreams,” says Mr. Liu. “And we know how much he loves running. My wife and I have supported every one of his races. We have nothing against running! But we think our son needs to think about other possible jobs. He’s getting older now, so he needs to think about what will happen if he doesn’t end up as a professional runner.”
Liu Yu doesn’t really agree. “Well, I think I should be allowed to decide for myself,” he says. “My parents have always taught me how important it is to work hard at school and enter university. I understand this, but I’m serious about running. It’s the only thing I’ve ever wanted to do.”
His parents believe that Liu Yu should study hard in the evenings so they don’t allow him to practice running at night. “Maybe he thinks it’s too strict or unfair,” says Mrs. Liu. “But we think we’re doing the right thing. He needs to spend more time on his homework because it is difficult to become a professional sports star.”
But Liu Yu still disagrees. “I know my parents care about me. They always talk about what will happen if I don’t succeed. But I will! I’m a quick runner! I think I should be allowed to make this choice myself. Only then will I have a chance to achieve my dream.”
Key points
get in the way of 是固定短语,
同义词组为“be in the/one’s way.”,
其反义词组为“get out off the/one’s way”,意为“让开”。

1. get in the way of 挡…的路;妨碍
拓展: by the way 顺便说一下
in a way 在某种程度上
lose one's way 迷路
on one's way to ...在某人去....的路上
2.We have nothing against running! 我们并不是不赞成跑步!
against 介词,此处意为“反对”,其反义词为for,意为“支持”,其后可接名词、代词或动词-ing形式。若表示“强烈反对”,一般与strongly搭配。
They are strongly against the idea.
we shouldn’t go against nature.
违背
3. I think I should be allowed to make this choice myself.我觉得我应该被允许自己做选择。
choice可数名词,意为“选择;挑选”,动词:choose

【学以致用】1) 当你做选择时你受了什么影响? ____________________________________________

What influenced you when you made your choice?
He has no choice but to go with them.
Only then will I have a chance to achieve my dream.
当“only + 状语” 位于句首时,其后的句子用部分倒装语序。基本结构:Only +adv./介词词组/状语从句+助v./be v./情态v. +主语+其他
【翻译】只有通过努力学习你才能使梦想成真。
You can make your dream come true only by working hard.
Only by working hard can you make your dream come true.
注意:如果 only 修饰的不是状语,则句子不倒装。
