We all dream about things that we would like to do we hope to achieve in the future．But are everybody’s dreams the same? Here are some of the findings of a survey about hopes and dreams, in which thousands of students across China took part in it.
What are the hopes of teenagers?
We received several different answers to the question: what would you like to do after finishing your education? I t seems some students would like to start work as soon as possible, so that they can help provide better lives for their parents．Other students hope to continue studying after finis hing school and to go to university．Although money is important, many teenagers said they want to do jobs they enjoy．According to the survey, the most popular choice of job is computer programming.
What are the dreams of teenagers?
Teenagers have all kinds of dreams．Some are more realistic than others．For example, many students said they would like to be volunteers if Beijing could hold the World Cup, maybe working as translators or tour guides．And some said they dream of going to the moon one day.
According to the survey, less realistic dreams are also common, but many students reported that they were willing to work hard to achieve their dreams．Quite a few dream of becoming famous, perhaps famous sports people or singers．Some said they’d like to go on exciting trips; one student said she’d love to sail across the Pacific Ocean．And then there are dreams that are impossible; three students said they’d like to be able to fly!
onclusion: It was clear from the survey that teenagers have similar hopes．It seems that most stude nts hope to have a good education and find a good joB． On the other hand, students dream of very different things: good things, and even crazy things．It is very important to dream, so hold on your dreams; one day they may just come true.
What is the most popular choice of job．?

Some people believe that schools will no longer be necessary in the near future．They said that because of the Internet and other new technology, there is no longer any need for school buildings, classes or teachers．Perhaps this will be true one day, but if the world has no schools, I can ’t imagine(想像) how our society will be, In fact, we should learn how to use new technology to make schools better．We should invent a new knid of school that is linked to libraries, museums, science centers, labs and even companies．Technological companies should create(创造) learning programs for schools．Scientists or professors could give talks through the Internet．TV networks and local stations could develop programs about things students are actually studying in school．Labs could set up websites to show new technology so students could see it on the Internet．
Is this a dream? No．There are already many cities where this is beginning to happen．Here the whole city is linked to the Internet, and learning can take place at home, at school, and in the office．Businesses provide programs for the schools and the society．The schools provide computer labs for people without their own computers at home．Because everyone can be on the Internet, older people use it as much as younger ones．And everyone can visit distant(远处的) libraries and museums as easily as nearby ones．How will this new kind of school change the usual way of learning?
