While I was a middle school student, I liked spending hours watching wild animals. I watched them both on TV and in zoos. In the high school, I could speak the names of many kinds of wild animals. And I could also tell lots of their stories.

After getting into university, I’m very sorry to learn that a lot of wild animals were disappearing. However, some people found a special way to stop it—with photos. I had great interest in both wild animals and taking photos. So I became a wild animal photographer(摄影家) after leaving university.

My job is to take pictures of wild animals. I provide(提供) beautiful pictures for people to see. I also provide important pictures for scientists to study.

Because of my job, I travel a lot. For example, if I want to take pictures of lions. I will travel to Africa. During traveling, I need to enjoy and understand different cultures and languages. So I often talk with the local people, even make friends with them. In this way, I can take good photos.

Most wild animals are sensitive to smell and hearing. This means I have to stay quiet for a long time at work. Some wild animals could be very dangerous. This means I have to learn well to protect myself.

Being a wild animal photographer is pretty hard. But every time I take a good picture of a disappearing wild animal. I feel really great.

When I was about 12, a girl in my class liked to point out (指出) my problems. I was too thin; I wasn’t a good student; I talked too much; I was too proud (骄傲) and so on. At last, I became very unhappy and ran to my father.

He listened to me quietly. Then he asked, “Are these things true or not? Do you know what you are really like? Go and make a list of what she said and find the things that are true.”

I did as he told me. To my great surprise, I discovered that about half of the things were true. Some of them I couldn’t change (like being very thin), but there were things I could and wanted to change. For the first time, I got a clear picture of myself.

I brought the list back to Dad. He didn’t take it, “That’s just for you,” he said “You know the truth (真相) about yourself better than anyone else. When people say something that doesn’t sound nice, don’t be unhappy and feel hurt. Listen to them and you’ll find it helpful.”
