Describe your dream job when you were young. v. 1
Describe your dream job when you were young. You should say: what kind of job it is where you did learn about it what kind of training/ skills are needed for that job and explain why it was your dream job when you were young.   Model Answer 1: I think that for those, who like physics, gravity is a very interesting subject. It becomes even more interesting when without gravity, a person (an astronaut that is) can grow up to three per cent taller if he/she spends at least 6 months on the international space station. Now, please tell me how many cooler jobs are there in the world which can help you grow three per cent taller in six months? ! Well, the answer is “none”. I guess, it should be clear by now that becoming an astronaut was my dream job, especially after watching “the star trek” TV series, when I was young, except of course I had no clue at that time that it could actually help me grow three per cent because the absence of gravity helps expand our spine if I had somehow managed to spend at least 6 months in the space station. Anyway, there are many other cool things about being an Astronaut. But, first, let me tell you who exactly an astronaut is. Well, Astronauts gather information about the space in general by conducting experiments with the spacecraft itself to develop new concepts in design, engineering, and the navigation of a vehicle outside the Earth's atmosphere. However, it is not easy to become an astronaut because one has to have at least a Bachelor degree in science and at least 1, 000 hours pilot-in-command time in jet aircraft. He/she would also need to meet a minimum physical requirement as far as his height, visual acuity and blood pressure are concerned, specified by NASA. Anyway, being an astronaut was my dream job as a young because I was always fascinated by the vast empty space around us and how it affected our life on this earth. Besides, the idea of becoming an astronaut always gave me a feeling of tremendous adventure as far as the possibility of going to new worlds and walking on land there where nobody has been before. Besides, how cool would that be if having a job would allow someone to become an explorer, scientist, engineer, and pilot, all in one, at the same time!   Sample Answer 2: When I was young, I wanted to work for a major aviation company as a pilot. In fact, becoming a pilot, who flies commercial aeroplanes, was my dream in my childhood. I have heard about this job from my teachers and relatives in my childhood and then I had a superficial idea about this job. When I was 15 or 16 years old, I saw a documentary on the tasks the pilots do on the Discovery channel that gave me a clear idea of the jobs of a commercial aeroplane pilot. Working as a pilot requires comprehensive training and to become a good pilot one needs very good quality and skillsets. Usually, the commercial airline companies hire the candidates and then give them comprehensive training, both theoretical and practical, and after particular hours of flawless flying records, the candidates are sent to work for their jobs. The theoretical parts teach them the different aspects of flying, route, safety and process guidelines where the practical parts allow them to actually fly a real aeroplane. They need to prove that they have gained sufficient skills to fly a commercial plane before they are appointed to do the job. I was a fascination with flying the aeroplane in the sky. It was a thrilling job for me when I was young. Since different people of the family members started giving me the idea of good careers and what I would become in the future, I started speculating my own idea and I found the job of a pilot very exciting and prestigious. I knew that being a pilot would allow me to visit different countries across our boundaries and would allow me to meet different people and these 2 ideas also attracted me toward this job. For all those reasons it was my dream job when I was young.

becomes
even more interesting when without gravity, a person (an
astronaut
that is
) can grow up to three per cent taller if he/she spends at least 6 months on the international

Now
,
please
tell
me how
many
cooler
jobs
are there in the world which can
help
you grow three per cent taller in six months? !
Well
, the answer is “none”.

I guess
, it should be
clear
by
now
that becoming an
astronaut
was my
dream
job
,
especially
after watching “the
star trek
” TV series, when I was
young
, except
of course
I had no clue at that time that it could
actually
help
me grow three per cent
because
the absence of gravity
helps
expand our spine if I had somehow managed to spend at least 6 months in the
space
station.

Anyway
, there are
many
other cool things about being an
Astronaut
.
But
,
first
,
let
me
tell
you who exactly an
astronaut
is.
Well
,
Astronauts
gather information about the
space
in general
by conducting experiments with the spacecraft itself to develop new concepts in design, engineering, and the navigation of a vehicle outside the Earth's atmosphere.
However
, it is not easy to
become
an
astronaut
because
one
has to
have at least a Bachelor degree in science and at least 1, 000 hours pilot-in-command time in jet aircraft. He/she would
also
need to
meet
a minimum physical requirement as far as his height, visual acuity and blood pressure
are concerned
, specified by NASA.

Anyway
, being an
astronaut
was my
dream
job
as a
young
because
I was always fascinated by the vast empty
space
around us and how it
affected
our life on this earth.
Besides
, the
idea
of becoming an
astronaut
always gave me a feeling of tremendous adventure as far as the possibility of going to new worlds and walking on land there
where
nobody has been

.
Besides
, how cool would that be if having a
job
would
allow
someone to
become
an explorer, scientist, engineer, and
pilot
, all in one, at the same time!
