A、Authority. B、A good relationship. C、Good luck. D、Independence. D

I’ll still be working, but things will be different. With any luck, I’ll be earning more money, but the most important thing will be the job itself and how interesting it is. I mean, I hope I’ll be able to choose the kind job I do and who I work for. Of course, I’d like to have more money, and more authority than I have now, but I don’t think that’s the only thing in life. What I really want is... to be more independent than I am now... to have more control over my own life. Perhaps open a small restaurant, or write a book or something like that. I’m not really sure if I’ll ever have children or even if I want to be married. It all depends. Of course, if I meet the right person, anything could happen! But I won’t feel that my life is empty and meaningless if I’m still living alone ten years or even twenty years from now. Not at all! My mother is always saying, "There’s nothing like a good relationship!" But I’m not so sure. There’s nothing worse than a really bad one, either!
