　　An ichthyologist is a scientist who studies fish．Most people who do this job say they love their work because it is very rewarding and varied．They work not only inside a laboratory, but also out in the field．Fieldwork includes traveling to rivers, oceans and lakes in order to collect information and specimens(样本)．Reading, writing and speaking are also very important to the job．Fish scientists need to read the research of other scientists．They must be able to write up their own research clearly so that others can follow it．They also need to be able to give lectures about their findings, so that they can spread knowledge．

　　Ichthyologists who wish to specialize can choose any one of three areas of study．The first area is aquaculture(水产养殖)．This involves the study and practice of fish farming and management．Because it is a rather new study, there are very few job opportunities available．However, as there is so much to discover, many see it as an exciting area for a new ichthyologist to enter．The second area is fisheries science, which means working with a team of scientist to find out more about different fish species．The third area is about the protection of natural fish populations．This is very important today, given that many fish species are in danger of dying out because of the actions of humans．

　　To become a successful fish scientist, you need to have a curious mind and be able to work on your own．You also need to be able to handle equipment and perform experiments; but most importantly, you must love fish．To become an ichthyologist, you will need to train at a university to pass a Bachelor of Science degree．For this, you will need to be good at mathematics, physical science and biology．Then, you will need to study for another year to complete an honors degree in ichthyology．This honors degree contains coursework about all aspects of fish．You also need to complete a research paper．

In the hit film The bucket List, Jack Nicholson and Morgan Freeman meet in hospital in California after they have been diagnosed with cancer. Between them they cook up a “bucket list” – a to-do list of all they want to do before they kick the bucket. The movie makes you wonder what would be on your bucket list. So let’s pack up some and see what it would cost to go out and have a little fun.

1.Nick wants to read some of the public diaries to get some ideas for his diary. (If he finds something interesting, he can leave a message in that diary.) If he doesn’t want to write a diary on the Internet, he can try writing in an old – fashioned paper diary. He finds it a really fun way to practice his English every day!

2.Jack wants to show his feelings. He tries to make some of his own smiley, then shows them to a friend or classmate and asks them to guess the meaning.

3.Laura wants to challenge her teacher to see if he/ she is a good speller. She makes a bet that her teacher will make AT LEAST 5 mistakes on the test. If she wins the bet, the teacher has to buy ice creams for the whole class!

4.Donald tries designing his own paper invitations for his next party. He is trying to decide what the most important information is, and what kind of graphics or pictures he wants to use.

5.Lynn will find a lot of funny pictures at this site. It’s her job to write a funny caption for the picture. She will, first, get some ideas by taking a look at past photos to see what other people have written and which ones she thinks funny. Then she looks at the new photos and tries to think of a funny caption. When she has one that she likes, she can send it in an email with her name and country.
