1.Another School Year—What For?(317)

Sixth grade rewrite

Another School Year—What For?

【1】Once upon a time, a young teacher named Mr. Ciardi started his first job at a university. He met a tall student who seemed eager to learn. They began reading a famous play called "Hamlet." But soon, the student asked Mr. Ciardi why he had to read such a book when he wanted to become a pharmacist.

【2】Mr. Ciardi explained that college is not just about learning a job. It's about learning many things that can make you a better person. He said that after work, you have time to do other things. What will you do with that time? Will you read books, listen to music, or look at art? These things can make your life richer and more interesting.

【3】Mr. Ciardi told the student that if he only cared about making money and not about learning new things, he might feel bored when he wasn't working. He said that college is a place where you can learn from the smartest people who ever lived. You can learn about science, art, and history. These things help you understand the world better and make you a more thoughtful person.

【4】Mr. Ciardi also said that reading books is like meeting new people and seeing new places, even if you can't travel there in person. Books are like gifts that let you experience many lives and worlds without having to live them all yourself.

【5】In the end, Mr. Ciardi told the student that college is a place to grow not just as a pharmacist, but as a whole person. He said that everyone needs to learn from others to become a better human being and a good citizen. So, it's important to read and learn about many things, not just the things you need for your job.

六年级改写

又一个学年，为什么?

【1】从前，一位名叫恰尔迪先生的年轻教师在一所大学开始了他的第一份工作。他遇到了一个看起来很想学习的高个子学生。他们开始读一部著名的戏剧《哈姆雷特》。但很快，这名学生就问恰尔迪先生，为什么他想成为一名药剂师，却必须读这样一本书。

【2】恰尔迪先生解释说，大学不仅仅是学习一份工作。它是关于学习很多可以让你成为一个更好的人的东西。他说下班后，你有时间做其他事情。这段时间你打算做什么?你会读书，听音乐，还是看艺术?这些事情可以使你的生活更丰富、更有趣。

【3】恰尔迪先生告诉这名学生，如果他只关心赚钱而不关心学习新东西，那么他不工作的时候可能会感到无聊。他说大学是一个你可以向有史以来最聪明的人学习的地方。你可以学习科学、艺术和历史。这些事情可以帮助你更好地了解世界，使你成为一个更有思想的人。

【4】恰尔迪先生还说，读书就像认识新朋友，看到新的地方，即使你不能亲自去那里旅行。书籍就像礼物，让你不必亲自经历，就能体验许多生活和世界。

【5】最后，恰尔迪先生告诉这位学生，大学不仅是培养药剂师的地方，也是培养一个完整的人的地方。他说，每个人都需要向别人学习，成为一个更好的人，一个好公民。所以，阅读和学习很多东西很重要，而不仅仅是你工作所需的东西。
