Ideals
Everyone has his ideals. A businessman wishes to make greater profit; a farmer expects plumper harvests; a student tries to learn more and better. And everyone strives, with more or less effort, to realize his ideal.
However, one should be sensible about whether his ideal is well founded or not. If it is, one has to plan and work hard for its realization. Effort, skill and persistence are all necessary. And very often, one has to get help from others, including advice and support in one form or another.
My ideal is to become a doctor. It is said that the field of medicine is a well-paid profession, but I take it as a lofty profession entrusted with saving people's lives. To realize my ideal I have concentrated on laboratory work to develop the analytical skills necessary to become a qualified doctor. I am sure I will realize my ideal if I persevere in this pursuit.

結(jié)構(gòu)剖析
文章分為三段
第一段首句引出話題，說(shuō)明人人都有理想，接著列舉a businessman，a farmer和a student的理想來(lái)說(shuō)明每個(gè)人都有理想，最后指出每個(gè)人都在為理想努力奮斗。
第二段用however轉(zhuǎn)折，說(shuō)明實(shí)現(xiàn)理想的各種因素。
第三段著重介紹作者自己的理想，并說(shuō)明了實(shí)現(xiàn)理想的途徑，最后表明了實(shí)現(xiàn)理想的決心。
理 想
人人都有理想。商人的理想是賺取更大的利潤(rùn);農(nóng)民希望獲得更大的豐收;學(xué)生則爭(zhēng)取學(xué)得更多、更好。每個(gè)人都為實(shí)現(xiàn)理想多多少少付出了努力。
然而，人們應(yīng)該想想自己的理想是否建立在扎實(shí)的基礎(chǔ)上。如果是，那么人們就必須為實(shí)現(xiàn)理想而做出計(jì)劃、辛勤工作。努力、技巧和恒心都是必備要素。人們還常常需要從別人身上獲得幫助，包括各種形式的建議和支持。
我的理想是成為一名醫(yī)生。據(jù)說(shuō)醫(yī)藥行業(yè)收入不錯(cuò)，而我則視之為一個(gè)治病救人的高尚職業(yè)。為了實(shí)現(xiàn)我的理想，我必須集中精力于實(shí)驗(yàn)室的工作，從而培養(yǎng)作為一名合格醫(yī)師所必備的分析技巧。若能持之以恒，我相信我能實(shí)現(xiàn)自己的理想。
