What’s your 2022?

Thomas
I’m not very sure what I will be in ten years. Maybe a cook or a film director(导演). But I can tell you what I’ll be doing next week—having a birthday party with my friends.

Emma
There is one thing I really want to do and that is to travel around the world. Hope I will be living somewhere different in ten years, like Australia or maybe Japan—who knows? I’d like to be a teacher and I think it must be great fun to teach English.

When I was young I always said I wanted to be a doctor and that hasn’t changed. I will study medicine (医学) after I finish school. It will be hard work, but it’s my dream. So in ten
years I hope I will either be working in a hospital or as a doctor with my own surgery (诊疗室).

It's not just women who wear skirts. Men can wear them, too. In Scotland, men wear a kind of skirt called a kilt. The kilt is their national dress and an important part of their tradition (传统).
A kilt is a colored skirt reaching down to the knees(膝盖). It has checks (格子) on it with different colors, like red or blue. Each family in Scotland has its own colors.
How did the Scots start to wear kilts? There are many stories about it. One story is that the kilt was invented (发明) in the 1720s by an English factory owner, Thomas Rawlinson. Rawlinson had a lot of Scottish workers in his factory and he thought their clothing got in the way of their work. So he cut their long clothes into a shorter skirt.
Today, most Scotsmen see kilts as formal(正式)dresses. They usually only wear them at weddings or big dinners. There are only a few men who still wear a kilt every day. Scots also wear kilts in parades when they play their traditional musical instrument(乐器): bagpipes (风笛). The army still has kilts as the dress uniform (制服), but they no longer wear them to fight (打仗).
【小题1】 A kilt is ____.
