The professor cites one of his female friends as an example. She always wanted to be a teacher. And before university she was so interested and had so much enthusiasm in that. But later when she got into the work after graduation, she found out that she had to spend a lot time at home grading papers which was not what she expected before. And she had to give up weekends sometimes for her work too. All these happened because she only saw the interests but not the pressure.

6.Process of creating sculpture.
The professor mentioned two basic processes of creating sculpture. (professor的原话)。
1)subtractive process
This process starts with solid materials and then you cut piece by piece on the materials until some shape is formed. This process has a problem which is that it doesn’t allow people to make mistakes. For example, you sculpture a face and you make a nose, eyes, but then if you don’t like the nose, you have to get rid of the whole piece.
2) Additive process
This process is just like its name additive. People add things on to the sculpture. This process allows mistakes. The main material people use for this process is clay. If you made a nose and you don’t like it, you can just 英文不记得了，用中文大概意思是：你就可以把这个你不喜欢的鼻子弄掉，然后换上新的。
Use the information in the lecture to describe the two processes and compare them with details.
