I Can Do It!

我能做到！

What is a hobby? A hobby is something you enjoy doing in your free time. It could be anything from painting to hiking or even bird-watching. Some people turn their hobby into a job. That is also my dream.

什么是爱好？爱好是你在空闲时间喜欢做的事情。它可以是任何事情，比如绘画、远足，甚至是观鸟。有些人把自己的爱好变成了职业，这也是我的梦想。

My uncle is a vet. I want to be a vet too. During holidays, I often help him on the farm. It's great for me because I really love animals. To turn my hobby into a job, it's not enough to just love animals. I also need to believe in myself, to gain lots of knowledge about animals and practise a lot to care about them. If I put in more effort, I am sure I can do it!

我的叔叔是一名兽医，我也想当兽医。在假期里，我经常去农场帮他干活，这对我来说很棒，因为我真的很喜欢动物。要把爱好变成职业，仅仅热爱动物是不够的。我还需要相信自己，学习更多关于动物的知识，多加实践，多多关心它们。如果再加把劲，我相信自己就能做到！
