I Have to Decide Whether I Should Go to High School or Vocational School

Page 64 Dialogue

Listen to the dialogue.

(Emily and Jessie see John sitting alone on a bench.)

Hi, John.

Are you OK? You look tired and a little weak.

You have dark circles under your eyes, and your lips are pale.

I was so worried that I couldn’t sleep last night.

I have to decide whether I should go to high school or vocational school.

It’s too hard to decide.

How come? Don’t most people want to go to high school?

Well... everybody except me.

I want to be an art worker, and I want to go to vocational school.

But my parents don’t agree.

Your parents are right.

You will never be successful if you go to vocational school.

Whoa! Wait a moment, Jessie!

Don’t you know that many successful people graduate from vocational schools?

Right. Take Qing-Yang Xiao for example.

He went to vocational school, and now he’s world-famous.

See? Going to vocational school can be a good choice, too.

So don’t worry, John.

Follow your heart. It will show you where to go.
