I should have been born with my fingers permanently glued to a keyboard. Since I was five, I’ve known that I want to be a professional writer: a journalist, a novelist, a modern-day Shakespeare, maybe. In my freshman year I tried to figure out what A Midsummer Night’s Dream and The Tragedy of Julius Caesar were about. Macbeth was much easier to understand in my sophomore year(大二年级).
However, I’m practically addicted to books, whether I’m reading or writing them. I can’t go a single day without writing something. I have made it a rule to pick up a pen and just let my thoughts out every day.
I can be inspired by anything: an expression, a song and a movie. Once I get inspired, it’s like the wheels turning faster and faster as I think out one possible story after another.
My family is so widespread that whenever I meet with a cousin or an aunt I only vaguely(模糊地) remember; I tell him or her I’m a writer because I know it will distinguish me from all the other kids in the family and make me memorable. I told my relatives about the stories I used to write as a child, the projects I’m working on now, and why I’m working so hard to make a breakthrough in the competitive world of publishing. One aunt hugged me and told me, “Just don’t forget about the rest of us when you become the next J. K. Rowling.”
Smiling, I replied, “Don’t worry, I won’t.” I am confident that I will become the next J. K. Rowling. I have the ambition, the means, and the talent. My English and history teachers don’t praise my writing and tell me I have an innate(与生俱来的) writing talent even though they know how passionate I am about writing, and how that passion slips through my fingertips to the paper.

2.请按如下格式作答。
I don’t really know why I love writing so much.

Maybe I just want to leave my mark on the world since I can’t sing to create a great work of art.

答案： I don’t really know why I love writing so much. I just do. I always feel that there is something in my mind about putting a story down on paper for friends across the globe to read and understand, and about finding just the right words to describe what I can see so clearly in my head, which attracts me like a beautiful song. Writing makes me who I am. Through writing I have found true happiness.
Maybe I just want to leave my mark on the world since I can’t sing to create a great work of art. Although I am a pretty good actor, acting doesn’t seem like the right path for me, so I’ve chosen writing to make a breakthrough in this world. I am a novelist, journalist and graduate of Columbia University. How nice it sounds!
