to be/become

Hi
Please help me with this.
She is going to be/become a doctor.
What is the difference?
  

Top answer

In this particular case, be sounds more natural. Become is often used in the present continuous: she is becoming very serious in her studies; CDs are becoming less and less expensive; they are becoming very good friends.. Be sure to ask if you have specific questions.
