Question

【题目】When I was a little girl，I wanted to leave school and have my own life. The only way was to work in the local paper factory in my town. I was very nervous，and then I told my father I wanted to leave school. I thought he would say，“No! You are going to college.” I was very surprised when he said，“OK. Let's go to the paper factory.”

Two days later，he took me to the factory. I imagined everyone to be friends working together and having fun. I even imagined there would be music there.

When we arrived at the factory gate，my father spoke to the guard and one minute later we were inside. I walked around the factory looking at the building and the workers，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？” “Too bad，” I answered.

I went back to school the next day thinking about studying hard so I could get into a good college. I enjoyed studying English so that I decided to major in (主修) languages at college. 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. My life is much better than it would have been working in the factory!
