What do you want to be in the future?

What are your plans and ambitions for the future?

Visit the following site about jobs and careers.
http://www.bls.gov/k12/

It contains clear and well organised information about many of the jobs you can think of.

Follow these steps:
1. Click on the subject you like.
2. Select all jobs you are interested in and read about them.
3. Then, tell us about the job/s you chose and why.
4. Don't forget to include the answers to these questions:

  • Did the information on this page help you think about your future?

  • Which words did you look up in the dictionary?.

  • Which will be your dream job?


  • Write your comments carefully; check grammar and spelling and pay attention to sentence structure. Do not translate word by word. Remember I will mark this activity as a composition.

    5. Watch a video in the page below.
    6. Have a look at the "notas corte" at the end of this post.

    These are two more sites you can visit:
    job profiles and this other site where you can watch a video of the job description. Choose a "Category" and then a job; then play video that appears on the right side.

    For instance this is what a Teacher assistant has to do. I wish I had one!!




    As promised this is the link to the "notas corte" in the Andalusian Universities. Here you will find that and some other information about how to enter the University.
    merry christmas everybody!

    In this moment I´m not sure about which career I´m going to study because I´m confused. On the one side Ilove languages, above all German and English, but on the other side I love the music.
    My dream would be to live in Germany and to live only of the music, playing the guitar and singing, but it is very difficult and is just a dream and I don´t know if it will be real...
    Thus I don´t know if I will study Languages or Music.
    I have seen some videos and pages and I´m interested in "Interpretes and Translators" and "Musicians and Singers". Theses pages are very good to inform people about jobs and the have liked me but I go on confused so I don´t know what I will study in the future...

    In the future, I want be musician, because I am fond of music.
    I started to play guitar at eight years old, and I studied music for six years.
    In this moment I don't continue my studie because I can't drive the institute and the conservatory of music a same time.
    My plans are finish academically orientated Spanish secondary school course and continue my musical studios.
    With this, I can be teacher of guitar, composer, or play in concerts.
    Also I play the electric guitar too, and my great hobby.
    The life of a music is very hard, but all is possible if you propose it.

    This homework is very interesting and productive, because in one year – odd we will choose that we want to be in the life but I don’t know that career I will study yet, because I would love to study translation or tourism but these careers demand punctuation very large, so I will study English philology because I like this language or psychology because I think that it’s very interesting and I like too, but I would like to be pedagogue or law… this is a mess…
    The videos are very interesting and the web pages too and as usual I know new things, like vocabulary or things about this topic and now I know the “notas de corte” of the last year.

    The information on the page helped me because it did I know the jobs I like.
    The jobs I like on that page are writer, psychologist, artist, actor and mainly teacher.
    If in the future I am an English teacher I will study more subjects such as the art, literature or the music.
    About the video I think it's a good idea. The teacher assistant would help to the teacher and the students when they need it.
    Finally, the words I have looked up in the dictionary are: gather, broadcast, figure out, deadline, encourage, major, spread out, freelancer, deal, such, endure, sharpen, membership, setting, perfom, assortment, plaster, damaged, faded, dust, splattered, eyestrain, hired, come up, craft, schedule, kindergarten.

    I want to be a writer. I like writing about fantastic creatures,like vampires, werewolf, fairies...
    It's very funny and my imagination grows.
    I think that I will be fantastic for this because I am creative and curious about fantasy.
    I started to write some love's stories when I was seven years old, and then I wrote a long story about magicians, because I liked Harry Potter books.
    Now I'm writing my own story about vampires, but it is very short and child, and it isn't finished.
    I use a extensive vocabulary in my stories,because I like saying difficults words.
    -The information of this page is constructive, and it helps me a bit about my future.
    -The words that I look up in the dictionary are nonprofit,spread,freelancers and broadcasts.
    -My dream job will be a charismatic writer in the world.But I have to work hard if I want get this.
