Whether there’s afterlife, the answer has never been the same. The atheists deny after life, believing that our life is no more than from the cradle to the grave. They may care about their illustrious names after death; they may feel attached to the affection of their offspring, but they never lay their hopes on their afterlife. They may also say that good will be rewarded with good, and evil with evil, but they don’t really believe any retribution in their after life. However, in the religious world or among the superstitious people, the belief in afterlife is very popular. They do not only believe in afterlife, but thousands of reincarnations as well. In the mysterious world, there are the paradise and the hell, the celestial beings and the gods, the Buddha and the Bodhisattvas. Maybe they really believed it, or maybe they just wanted to make use of people’s veneration, the ancient emperors always declared that they were the real dragons, the sons of God, while the royal ministers claimed to be the reincarnations of various constellations. But can the stars reincarnate? Many people burn incense and kowtow, do good deeds and strive for virtues, not just for the present, but mainly to let God see their sincerity so as to be reborn into a better afterlife, or to achieve the highest enlightenment after several lives of practice. They do believe in afterlife. But I can’t help asking: Suppose there were no afterlife, would you still do good deeds and strive for virtues? And If God does not see what you are doing, would you still be so upright and selfless? If you work, not for serving the public and liberating the others, but just for a better afterlife of your own, isn’t it a little too selfish? Comparing with this kind of believers, those who don’t believe in afterlife, but still keep doing good deeds, are the most sincere and honest philanthropists, because they do them not for themselves but for other. You may wonder if I believe in afterlife. My answer is: I know nothing about my previous life, so I dare not make improper comments on afterlife. But I do hope there’s afterlife! Because our present life is so short that so many things slip away before our proper understanding. I have so many dreams, so many wishes, so many ambitions, as well as so many reGREts and concerns. If there were no afterlife, all of them will remain unrealized! I’m not contented with the present commonplace life, I’m very much attached to the affections that should have been mine but have been washed away by the hurrying time, and I yearn for the perfection and maturity if I could start all over again. So believe it or not, I’d rather there were afterlife.

every person has his own ideal(理想的) job. some people wish to be doctors, while others want to be teachers and so on. 
as far as i am concerned（就我而言）, i dream of being a guide for a long time. first, my major(专业) is the manage（管理） of tourism（旅游业）, so i want to get a job about tourism. secondly, good guides are knowledgeable（知识丰富的） and amiable（和蔼可亲的）, meanwhile（同时）, they have wide vision（视野）. finally, guide can constantly（不断的） expand（扩展） his knowledge and understand lots of customs（习俗） about different cultures and countries. 
 to achieve（实现） my dream of being a qualified（合格的） guide, i have to make sufficient（足够的） preparations（准备）. for one thing, i must learn my major well and travel at my spare time, just as the saying goes: “seeing is believing.” for another, i should enhance（加强） my eloquence（雄辩能力） so that i can express（表达） the view clearly. what’s more important ,i should treat every traveler kindly. 
i believe i will be a good guide. i’ll be successful sooner or later.

there are various(很多) kinds of jobs in the world, such as writing, nursing, teaching and engineering. nevertheless（不过）, different people choose different jobs as their ideal careers（终身职业）. this happens mainly for the reason that everyone has his own interest.
 as for me, i have made up my mind to be a teacher chiefly（主要的）for three reasons. first of all, i want to teach because i like the pace of the academic calendar.（按照校历的进度）two long vacations offer（给与）an opportunity（机会）for reflection（反省）, research (研究) and writing. secondly, i want to teach because i like the freedom(自由的) to make my own mistakes, to learn my own lessons, and to stimulate(鼓励) myself and my students. moreover(并且), i have the opportunity to keep on learning. finally, i want to teach because, being around the students who are beginning to grow and change in front of me, i will find myself growing and changing with them.
 but teaching is no easy job at all. therefore(为此), i must study hard to acquire(得到) more knowledge. and, at the same time, i will make every effort(努力) to purify(净化) my soul(灵魂) so that i can become an architect(建筑师) of man’s soul.
