Mr. Johnson is a hardworking teacher. Every day, he spends too much time with his work. With little sleep and hardly any break, so he works from morning till night. Hard work have made him very ill. “He has ruined his healthy. We are worried about him.” That is which other teachers say. Yesterday afternoon, I paid visit to Mr. Johnson.

What do you do if your child tells you that they want to choose a major where they aren’t likely to make a lot of money? Or what if you’re worried about their happiness, how they will repay their student loans and when they will get a job after graduation? 1.
Talk about the economics of their choice. It’s important that your child chooses a field they’re excited about. 2. If your child hasn’t yet thought about the student loan payments they’ll be making after graduation, that can be a good place to start the conversation. Suggest your child research the job prospects (前景) as well as average salaries for majors they’re interested in. If they still want to major in the low-salary field, you might suggest they go to a less expensive college.
3. Your child might be passionate about majoring in a field where their job prospects are slim and you might be afraid of discouraging them by suggesting something else. In that case, ask them if they are open to minoring (辅修) in that field and majoring in a more marketable field. Sometimes the particular major/minor combination is the key to success on the job market.
Find ways to make the major marketable. If your child doesn’t want to change their major or add a minor, encourage them to get job experience while in college. 4. Many employers won’t care what students majored in if they come to a new position with relevant job experience and great references.
Make sure it’s a good fit. Before they make a decision, encourage your child to meet with an adviser who can help them have a better knowledge of the major they want to choose. Have them talk to people who are currently working in the field and to students who are currently majoring in the field.5.
A. Suggest a second major.
B. Turn to an adviser for help.
C. Here are some tips for you.
D. But it’s also necessary to consider the finance.
E. Practical work experience helps ensure a good job.
F. This will help them determine if that major is right for them.
G. You’re worried that your child won't like their chosen major.
Home to me means a sense of familiarity and nostalgia(怀旧). It's fun to come home. It looks the same. It smells the same. You'll realize what's changed is you. Home is where we ran remember pain, live, and some other experiences; We parted here; My parents met here; I won three championships here.
If I close my eyes, I can still have a clear picture in mind of my first home. I walk in the door and see a brown sofa surrounding a low glass-top wooden table. To the right of the living room is my first bedroom. It's empty, but it's where my earliest memories are.
There is the dining room table where I celebrated birthdays, and where I cried on Halloween-when I didn't want to wear the skirt my mother made for me. I always liked standing on that table because it made me feel tall and strong. If I sit at this table, I can see my favorite room in the house, my parents' room. It is simple: a brown wooden dresser lines the right side of the wall next to a television and a couple of photos of my grandparents on each side. Their bed is my safe zone. I can jump on it anytime - waking up my parents if I am scared or if I have an important announcement that cannot wait until the morning.
I'm lucky because I know my first home still exists. It exists in my mind and heart, on a physical property(住宅) on West 64th street on the western edge of Los Angeles. It is proof I lived, I grew and I learned.
Sometimes when I feel lost, I lie down and shut my eyes, and I go home. I know it's where I'll find my family, my dogs, and my belongings. I purposely leave the window open at night because I know I'll be blamed by Mom. But I don't mind, because I want to hear her say my name, which reminds me I'm home.
