Bài viết 1:

After high school there are numerous things I want to do and accomplish in my life.

I want to attend college and law school. After I start working for a few years, I plan to settle down, get married, and have children. I still want to have a career, but I want to raise a family too. I’m not sure what will happen after this or that even this will take place because I can’t really plan out my life. Life is an unpredictable thing. There are many obstacles that may get in the way of perusing my goals. Some of the obstacles are college and law school. It takes a lot of studying, hard work, and determination in becoming a lawyer. With hard work and determinationI plan to accomplish my goals, whatever they may be, and live up to my full potential.

Today, it is not easy to choose a career. Hundreds of students pass various examinations every year and compete with one another for positions in the various professions which are not so many as there are applicants. I would, however, like to choose teaching as my career.

Teaching is an interesting career for several reasons. As a teacher I can learn many things, especially if I teach to an udder-secondaryschool. If I teach History or English, for example, I have to read many books to make my teaching lessons more interesting to my pupils. Thus, I can acquire more knowledge of the subjects that I teach than what I can learn from the class text books. It is indeed afact that a teacher learns a lot from the class text books; but that is hardly enough to make the teacher’s lessons interesting to pupils.

Well! I´m good at Mathematics, Art, exploring or discovering new things… I like English, socializing and Science… I don´t have a special hobby, but in my free time (if this can be considered!!) I like singing, writing lyrics in English, searching for information about many things, taking photos and travelling.

With so many things I like, I think that every job can be “acceptable”, except jobs where the employee has keep himself imprisoned in an office all day long… But the funniest thing is that I’m a little bit lazy and I would like to be a singer ever since I know myself…

But right now I would like to be a doctor! I know that the bad part is that doctors have to keep themselves in an office, but who cares?!… I like helping people very much and I enjoy learning all I can about everything! I only hope that my future job will bring me lots of success!!!

It´s obvious that when we go to a job interview we shouldn´t chew gum, come unprepared, look down onto the floor, put our leg up or play with items on the desk, slap the interviewer on the hand, be late and talk fast or speak in slang. We should answer all the questions clearly and directly, bring an extra copy of our CV and references, continuously keep eye contact with the interviewer, display sense of humor and self-confidence, dress appropriately for the interview, get ourselves a strong knowledge of the company, industry and position, give a firm handshake, know the company that is interviewing us, look attentive and sit properly and upright in your chair.

I am very worried with the unemployment because if right now there is no work for everybody, in the future this will be even worse … I think that part-time jobs are good, because young people can get some work experience… And when people want some extra money this could be heaven, just joking!!!

Maybe later I will look for one part-time and yes if I could, I would already have one (to buy important things). But part-time jobs have advantages and disadvantages, too! When we´re studying part-time jobs can take us precious we need to study and our concentration…

Hi! My name is Ana and I’m 14 years old. My favourite subjects are Sciences and Languages. My free time activities are basketball, swimming, chatting on the internet and reading my favourites books. I really like playing with children but I also like to defend my friends and help them solving their problems. So I’d like to go into the medicine or law. Medicine because I love helping and doing everything to help other people. Law because I love defending innocent people and making justice, to change our world into a better place…

I’m an ambitious girl, because I know that medicine and law are very complicated and difficult areas! I’ll have to study a lot. But I think that in the future I can be a judge or a paediatrician and find a good job.

My dream is having my own clinic. So I have 4 months to decide what area I would like to go. I know I have to go to many jobs interviews… they are very important to give a good impression. We should answer all questions clearly and directly, dress appropriately for the interview and bring extra copies of our CV’s and references. We shouldn’t chew gum, talk fast or slang and be late to the interview. I’m worried about unemployment, because there are many areas where people are qualified and they can’t find a job. Some of them have to fight and try other options.

I would like to have a part-time job, because I like to have my own money to buy my things. Having a part-time job is very good to obtain some experience and responsibility. The advantage of having a part-time job is the experience and the disadvantages are the less hours of studying and the little wage. I expect to find a good job in the future!
