My dream job would be becoming a professional baseball player. I grew up playing little league baseball. I was not the best player on the team; but playing baseball was something I would look forward to doing every day and just have fun doing it. I haven’t played baseball for the last four years. I really missed the times when I would just have that happy feeling when my dad would drive up to the park, when I would get a base hit, when I would catch a fly ball, or just the fact that I was a part of a team.
So many baseball players these days take their jobs for granted. Many play baseball not just because they are good at it, but because of the money. Alex Rodriguez signed a $252 million contract for the Texas Rangers in 2000. Anybody in the entire world would love to be in his shoes. After all, what would you do with $252 million? For myself, I would love to be in Alex Rodriguez’s shoes, not because of the money, not because of the fame, but because if I were in his shoes, I would just treasure every moment of every second that I am on the field.
I would feel like the luckiest person alive every time I am reminded that I am living the dream, a dream that many people like myself would die to get the chance to do.

Computers offer wonderful opportunities for everybody. Many teenagers enjoy using their computers. They make new friends and chat with them on the Internet.
But on the other hand, children who spend a lot of time at the computer, spend little time in the open air, they have virtually no real communication with peers. Many teachers in schools note the limited knowledge of children, lack of interest in reading books. Children sit in front of their PC or laptop (notebook) for hours and it’s bad for their eyes! They can’t stop playing cruel and silly games and become nervous and tired. The computer is sometimes a mere waste of time. Parents are concerned that the children using the Internet are not protected from negative information, which can be found on many sites. Computers are dangerous and addictive.
But besides many disadvantages in using the computer by children, there are of course some advantages too.
Regarding the education of children on the Internet, children can find all the necessary information that is not given even in the textbooks. The main condition - to be able to properly use the Internet resources, then the child will only benefit from the computer. Then the Internet helps greatly in children’s studies. They find the necessary information and ideas on the net and use them in their work. The computer helps them both to relax and to get a lot of new interesting information.

To my mind, it’s a useful gadget.
