Subject: Plans for the future
Dear George,
It’s great to hear from you. Thanks for the birthday card!
You asked if I have been thinking a lot about the future now that I’m 17. The answer is yes! Things change so quickly, don’t they? I mean, in just a year’s time, I 1 (be) an adult. And this time next year, I 2 (take) my final school exams. Hopefully I 3 (pass) them! Then, in a couple of years’ time, I 4 (study) at university. It seems like no time at all! I 5 (choose) law, I think. After graduation, I 6 (look) for a job related to law. In the long term, I hope that 20 years from today, I 7 (work) as a judge. Let’s see how things go.
What are you hoping to do in the future? Tell me about your plans.
Kind regards,
Diana

Memorable moments
Read the passage and answer the questions.
1 What is your understanding of the first sentence?
2 What is the author’s attitude towards life?
Like a musical symphony, life has high and low moments, and somewhere in between are those moments we call “bittersweet”. As students, it’s likely that those moments are mainly about school life, such as sitting a major exam, giving a presentation, or becoming a boarder for the first time. But as life continues, we’re presented with more varied experiences: starting university, getting a job and raising a family. Whatever our choices are, we should cherish and embrace these moments in life. After all, each step we take is one more step forward to becoming a stronger and better person.
Listen to the conversation and answer the questions.
1 What is the relationship between the speakers?
2 What are they talking about?
They are (good) friends.
They are talking about Susan’s future life as a boarder.
Listen again and complete the table.

Ken: Hi, Susan! I’ve just heard you’re going to become a boarder, like me! This is great news!
Susan: Thanks, Ken, but I’m not so sure. The idea of becoming a boarder really worries me.
Ken: But why? I think it will be so much fun!
Susan: Well, I’ve never been away from home and I’m afraid I can’t live on my own.
Ken: Don’t be afraid! Think of it as preparation for university life, and a way of learning to be independent. You can also turn to your friends, tutors or classmates for help.
Susan: I suppose that’s true. But I’m also worried that I might have a different routine to my roommates. Also, what if my roommates aren’t very pleasant to live with?
Ken: In my experience, it’s a good idea to communicate openly with your roommates and find solutions to problems that suit you all. Communication and compromise are important to group living.
Susan: That’s true. But here’s another thing: I will have to follow a strict dorm schedule. I’m concerned that I’ll no longer be able to hang out with my friends as much as I used to.
Ken: Perhaps you could join some clubs? There are lots of clubs and activities after lessons, and you could make new friends.
Susan: That does sound exciting... But I suppose that I will miss my parents a lot.
Ken: All boarders feel like that at first. How about calling them and having video chats? And I’m sure the weekends and holidays will come round before you know it.
Susan: Thank you, Ken. You’ve really set my mind at ease.
Ken: I think you’ll really like boarding. No matter what difficulties you might encounter, when you look back, life as a boarder will be one of your most valuable memories.
Susan: I hope so! I really want to make the most of my time at boarding school.
Ken: Good luck with everything, and let me know if you have any more concerns.
Susan: Thank you. I will.

Student 1: Yesterday, I was looking at some old photos at home with Mom. They brought back some really strong memories for both of us.
Student 2: Oh, like what? Learning to walk and saying your first word?
Student 1: Yes, like that. Mom showed me her favorite photo. It’s of me starting school, carrying my schoolbag for the first time. It made me wonder: when I look back on my life in 20 or 30 years, what will my special memories be?
Student 2: Do you mean getting married and having children?
Student 1: Yes, that’s it. I’m not sure if I want to have any children yet. I think I’ll have a clearer idea about my future when I graduate from college. But I believe the day I get married will be the most important day of my life.
Student 2: Well, that’s a long time in the future. Before that, you have to go to college...
Student 1: Yes, that’s true. I think my mom will be a bit sad when I go to college though.
Student 2: I’m sure she will. But all children have to grow up and move away someday. Anyway, think about how happy she’ll be after you graduate from college.
Student 1: That’s true. When I get a job and can really look after myself, she’ll be so proud of me!
