English Assignment: My Dream Job (example)

 ENGLISH ASSIGNMENT

MY DREAM JOB

1.     

      What is your dream job and the task/responsibilities in the job?

I want to be a story writer. A writer should change readers into better humans. He/she ought to inspire readers, without obscuring the seamy side of things, to face the world or even the distress in the world from a positive point of view. He/she ought to equip readers with wisdom and courage to face and fight against potential difficulties. He/she ought to help readers learn how to control their own destiny. If he/she is treated to a bright and beautiful world, he/she should tell his readers, showering them with love, hope, and happiness which he/she has got. His works may be entertaining, promotional, informative, or educational, but no matter what he/she is aiming to do, he/she himself should be good-willed, public-spirited, and serious, as well as being sincere to his/her readers. He/she also has the responsibility for bridging the gaps between people and for building the world into a better one.

 

2.     Why do you want to be this kind of job?

First of all, I love writing stories. I can improve my imagination and creativity either. And I make people feel more alive with my writings. I also can earn income from my hobby. The first time I got paid for something I wrote, I felt a warm glow for days. It’s not easy to get rich from writing, but the satisfaction of knowing your passion provided for you and your family is an incredible feeling. I experience things more deeply. Writing can draw you deeper into the moment. It can help you understand people and why they do the things they do. If you want to write well, the writing itself will force you to experience your life more fully. I get to bring meaning to the world. It’s easy to lose hope in our culture, to think everything is meaningless, to give up on the world, and just chase after your own pleasure. But writing helped me discover that my life is incredibly meaningful, and it’s allowed me to share that meaning with the world.

 

3.     Who inspires you? Tell briefly about his/her job.

My inspirations are Joanne Kathleen Rowling, Enid Blyton, and Roald Dahl. They also write stories. All of their stories are wonderful, but they all really started from zero. Even the famous author of Harry Potter, J. K. Rowling, also begins with a hard start. Soon after conceiving the idea for Harry Potter, Rowling began writing but was immediately pulled away from her work by the devastating death of her mother. Rowling ceased working on the book and sank into a deep, grieving depression, getting little to nothing accomplished in that time. Things did not go as planned.

When Rowling finally finished the first three chapters, she sent the manuscript off to a publisher – They quickly passed on the project. She sent it to another publisher. Again, the answer was no. Her mailbox filled up with rejection letters, but she didn’t let it stop her. After sending her manuscript to 12 different publishers and getting rejected by every single one, Rowling began losing confidence in her book. Finally, the editor at Bloomsbury Publishing company sat down to read the manuscript. And so did the editor’s 8-years-old daughter. The little girl loved the opening chapters and begged to read the whole thing. This made the publisher agree to publish Rowling’s novel. But Rowling was left with a warning: that she should get a day job because she wouldn’t make any money writing children’s books. Once Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone was published, though, she proved everyone wrong.

 

4.     What is the effort you must do or you’ve started to do to reach you dream job?

1.     Studies hard

I must have enough knowledge to write about something, so I know how to describe or tell people something new with my writings.

2.     Imagining as much as possible

A story must be interesting, or else nobody will want to read it. We must make the story we write different and better from others.

3.     Practice writing stories

We must practice writing the story every time. That way we can improve and fix our mistakes.

4.     Never give up

All people make mistakes. Not everyone succeeds on their first try. Failure always makes us feel disappointed, but we must try harder.
