【原文】

When I was a teenager growing up in France, I wanted to leave school and have my own life. I could only do this by working in the local paper factory in my town. When I told my father I wanted to leave school, he said, “OK. Let’s go to the paper factory.” Two days later, he took me to the factory. I thought everyone would be working together and having fun.

I walked around the factory, looking at the building and listening to the noise. It was terrible. I ran back to my father and said, “I want to go home.” He asked me, “What do you think of the factory?” “It’s awful,” I answered. I went back to school the next day and studied hard. I was admitted into a famous college. I studied language there. Thanks to my father and our trip to the paper factory, I now work at the United Nations. And my father is very proud of me.
