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 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 se-
rious 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.”
1. But sometimes these can get in the way of
their schoolwork, and parents might worry
about their success at school.
但是有时这些爱好会妨碍他们的学业,并且
父母可能担心他们在学业上的成功。

e.g. He wouldn’t allow emotions to get in the way
of his work.
他不会让情绪妨碍自己的工作。

名词;表示具体意义的“成功的人或事”,则
是可数名词。

5. My parents have always taught me how
important it is to work hard at school and
enter university. 我父母总是教导我在学校努
力学习并考上大学是多么重要。
(1) 本句为主从复合句。宾语从句中含有how引
导的感叹句。感叹句中it 为形式主语,其真正
的主语是“to work hard at school and
enter university”。
e.g. I think how easy it is to speak English.
我认为说英语是多么的容易。
(2) enter (to come or to go into) 意为“进来;进
去”,既可用作及物动词也可用为不及物动词。

拓展
7. Only then will I have a chance to achieve my
dream.
只有那样我才有机会实现我的梦想。
本句是only引起的倒装句,即“Only+状语+
助动词/be动词/情态动词+主语+其他”。
在句首的only 如果后面跟副词、介词短语或从
句等作状语,则主句用部分倒装。如果only 后
跟的只是主语,则不用倒装。
e.g. Only in this way can you learn English
well.
只有通过这种方式,你才能学好英语。
Only five people were hurt in the car
accident.
只有五个人在车祸中受伤。

Sample writingDear Diary,
I do not agree with the rule that I must be
home before dinner time every day. This is
because the rule affects my social life. It takes
away important opportunities for me to spend
time with friends. As a result, my life is quite
uninteresting sometimes. I think I should be
allowed to have dinner with my friends once
in a while.
For example, I would like to hang out with my
classmates until after dinner on some Fridays.
I wish my parents will allow me to do this if I
promise not to stay out too late and if there is
no important family activity on those days.
