　Have you heard of the aphorism, "Procrastination is the thief of time'? I think it applies to me. I need to thinking about a job for which I have apposite skills. I think it would appease my parents if I do so this summer. Otherwise, I'll have to make an applogy to them for brrowing money again.</p>　　Should I be a chef? It would be fun to appease the appetite of hungry people. But I don't even know how to operate the simply appliances in my kitchen!
* d, s5 I0 j  @! Z* }! A$ h　　Maybe I can appraise property for a real estate company. How hard can it be to make an appraisal? But I'd have to be good at observing the appreciabledifferences between various properties.
+ D* p8 P  Y/ ^6 u/ c　　Perhaps I should be a criminal lawyer. I could use my big sad eyes to appeal to the judge for mercy. However, I don't think my parents would appreciate my choice. Defending murderers and thieves would appall them.
7 |/ {4 t: _& |! S9 B, M& H　　What about being a pliceman! I could apprehend crinimals and put them in prison. I can imagine the warm feeling of appreciation I would get for saving someone's life. On second thought, I don't think I can be an applicant for a position that involves guns.

　　你听说过“拖延是盗窃时间的盗贼”这句格言吗？我想这句话对我来说是非常适用。我得开始考虑我能胜任的适当工作了。我想如果我今年夏天就开始考虑，父母一定会倍感宽慰。否则，我就得为再次向他们借钱而道歉。
　　我该做个厨师吗？满足饥饿者的胃口会很有趣。但我连自家厨房里最简单的用具都不会使！
　　也许我可以为一家房地产公司做资产评估。做评估有什么难的？不过，我得有本事观察出不同财产间的明显差别。
+ {2 E/ r% B9 m1 p　　也许我该做个刑事律师。我可以用我那双忧郁的大眼睛来恳求法官的宽恕。但父母不会理解我的选择。为杀人犯和小偷辩护会使他们吓得魂不附体。
　　当个警察怎么样？我可以逮捕小偷，把他们关进监狱。我能想象到在挽救某人性命后备受感激的温暖感觉。考虑再三，我想我还是别申请要使枪的工作为好。
　　我可以做个政治家。我将拥有任命重要官职的权利。但我还得做出一些确实困难的决定，比如如何分配我们有限的水资源供应量。
