英语演讲：When I grow up Welcome to Jinan Imagine What China would be Like in 2050

As a kid growing up in Somerville,I always wanted to be a famous rock star.We all know how that turned out!
I wanted to grow up to be Paul McCartney.My friend wanted to be Paul McCartney’s wife.(I hope it was the nice one!) Back then,I didn’t think about the money,just the coolness.
A friend of mine wanted to be a fire fighter from the time he was five years old,because his father was one.He saw his dream come true.
A lot of my friends went to Somerville Trade High School (God Bless Muzzy,the former principal) and learned skills that have kept them gainfully employed for years.I got to be a substitute teacher there back in the ‘80’s.
Seeing how we spent a lot of time in front of the boob tube (hey,we didn’t have Play Station,You Tube,Facebook or texting) some of us wanted to be like the characters we saw on TV.We wanted to be Batman,Superman,and Captain Kirk.One of my buddies actually wanted to be like Baretta,who was played by the troubled actor,Robert Blake.
Remember a show called Then Came Bronson with Michael Parks.It only lasted one season from 1969 to 1970.Bronson wore a leather jacket and a wool cap and drove around from one adventure to another on a motorcycle.That seemed like a neat way to live your life.
