What Will I Be Doing?

Hi Nguyen,
Many of my friends have started talking about their future career though {1}[we still have three more years to go before we finish our school education.]{1} {2}[Some want to have a nine-to-five job like a bank clerk,]{2} some want to be something more creative like a designer, and my friend Dan even dreams of travelling into space.

For me, my plan for the future will take far more than three years to accomplish. After getting a university degree, {3}[I will fulfil my long dream: joining the Peace Corps, which is a volunteer programme run by the United States of America.]{3} This programme allows young people to work abroad for two years with schools, non-profit organisations, and charities… in areas like education and agriculture.

{5}[One aim of the programme is to help us to understand the cultures of other countries, and to help people outside the USA to understand us.]{5} The work can be difficult, {4}[but I believe it has its rewards.]{4} I can see myself travelling in a faraway land, finding ways to fit into a community that is very different from my own, and working together with the local people for a better future. I might even come to Viet Nam and visit you. Who knows?

All the best for now.
Yours,
Mark.
