Topic：Future Career Choice Spokesperson: Hu Xiaoxiao Date: 30th, Oct. 2006 (week 5) By reading all the blogs of my group, I find there is 77% of members who choose the career as being a translator or a teacher, while there is still 33% of people who choose another career as being a writer. Such a situation is similar to other groups in our class. So I would like to undertake a detailed investigation of this. One member of our group has a dream of being an English teacher in China. As globalization is coming, and our country needs a huge number of people who can control English well, she considers it a duty for her to contribute her own power to the English education in China. At the same time, she has the passion to be a teacher, for she is interested in communicating with people coming from different backgrounds. And she also has some experience of being a teacher, like teaching some foreigners coming from Korea, American and Japan to learn Chinese. On the other hand, she also recognises her weaknesses in English, considers it a long way to become a teacher and encourages herself to study hard. It is another choice of being a creative writer in the future which is made by another member in our group. Firstly, she shows her love of writing and describes writing novels as //her interests, her enjoyment, her dream, and also a part of her life.// Through doing this, she can not only get enjoyment and payment, but also gain self-confidence and feel the value of her life exactly. And she also has some experience of being a writer, for she has stuck at writing for more than ten years and has already had three books published in China. During these years of writing, she has developed the habits of encouraging herself to improve her language skills and shape her thoughts all the time. And she also has some basic attitudes to her creative writing, which are the rules she forces herself to obey, as always being honest to truth and to every reader. She thinks the most important things she needs are more life experiences and more information in a variety of fields. Let us go to the conclusion: I think career choosing is something related to a person’s lifetime. So, in my opinion, interests and personal capability must go first, for only interests can make a person sink himself deeply into what he is doing now, making more effects and getting better results, while capability is another deciding reason. Then, working experience and social needs are also important points can be referred to while making a career choice.
