Describe the career you have choden, and the reasons for your choice.
Choosing a career is of the most improtance. It determines one’s whole life. As for me, after careful
consideration, I want to become a construction engineer.
In our country, after long years of atrocious war, many houses, villages, bridges and roads were destroyed
by bombing. They all need to be repaired or rebuilt. After graduation, I’ll contribute my part to the reconstruction
of my war torn country into one of the most modern and powerful countries in the world.
How happy I feel when I am able to turn slum areas into blocks of hight buildings, to bring happiness and
joys to my poor compatriots!
How proud and delighted I am go to build high-ways, bridges and factorries for my city dwellers by the
sweat of my brow!
