I'm curious about natural phenomena

I'm curious about natural phenomena, so my ambition is to be a physicist.

I'm curious about the natural things happening in this world, ...

I'm curious to understand the natural things happening in the world, ....

Hi,

My son Arthur tried to practice writing an English composition entitled My Ambition. He encountered some problems as to which one of the above three to use. Are they all right and about the same in meanings? If not, how should he say them right? Thanks.

Angliholic Are they all right and about the same in meanings? Yes, but the first is best. phenomena captures the idea much better than the vague and wordy 'natural things happening in the world'.

Thanks, Jim, for the reply.

My son is only a kid studying at a senior high here. Maybe, it's hard for him to write out "natural phenomena." If he can say the other two versions right, then I'd thank *** for this.

Thanks for your help all the time and good day to you!
