II. Sample writing
In the future, I want to become a doctor. It is a demanding job and requires long working hours. The
pay is not really good, but saving people’s life is a meaningful thing to do. It is not easy to get into
medical school though. I will need to pass a highly competitive exam to become a medical student. Then
it will take at least six years to complete the program. To be a good doctor, you can never stop learning
because medicine changes every day. You need to be very passionate about your job to keep learning
when the pay and working conditions can be discouraging. In conclusion, becoming a doctor is my dream
