Timed Writing-1




Most people believe that money is the most important thing in the world .They always say that “Money, money, money” like Napoleon .However; they believe financial gain is the most significant factor in choosing a career.
I do not agree with this. I believe that there should be many important factors in choosing a career.
First of all, for me, helping other people is the most important factor to choose a career. In generally, fire workers, policeman, teachers do not get more money for doing their job. But, they help other people more than other career. For example, I am a teacher. I chose this job because I like to help people more than anything. I do not earn more money, but I am very happy to help the children. Choosing this career, I can help children to learn for the future. It was my goal.
Second important reason to choose a career is special abilities or skills. Painters, singers, or some sportsmen have special abilities for doing their job. They choose their job, because they have special skills that they want to show their skills to other peoples. My son draws pictures very well. He won first place prize last year in statewide competition. He likes to draw. He wants to be a painter when he grows up. He knows that some painters are very poor in their life and does not earn much many. Still, he wants to be a painter.
In conclusions, some people choose their job for earning money, but some for helping other people or having special abilities in some field.
