A: Interesting! Can you give me an example of the kind of career you would like and tell me why it would be a good fit for you
B: Of course! When I was little, I decided that I wanted to be a vet, and that’s still my goal. It’s a good fit because I’m comfortable playing with and caring for animals.
Sample
A: Lovely. Have you found ways to learn more about this career For example, what education and skills are needed
B: Generally, most vets have a bachelor’s degree in veterinary science. Hands-on experience is equally important, for example, working at a vet clinic.

A: I imagine that kind of experience will help you in your studies.
B: Exactly! For now, I’m going to ask my parents if I can get a cat. This will teach me responsibility and basic animal care.
A: It’s clear that you know what you need to do to achieve your goal. I wish you the best of luck!
Task 5: Introduce your career plan to class.
Sample answer:
My career plan
From a very young age, I have loved animals. I would ask my parents to take me to nature parks and zoos. I wanted to be one of the staff playing with and caring for the animals! I decided that I wanted to be a vet one day and that is my goal still.
To make my childhood dream come true, I found out that I should pursue a degree in veterinary science at university. After four to five years of successful study, I would be awarded a bachelor’s degree in veterinary science. However, entry into university can be highly competitive. I will need to prepare myself in high school and work hard to produce an outstanding academic performance.
Sample answer:
Other than following the right course of study, I can do volunteer work at a vet clinic in my spare time. Working at the clinic will give me time to observe qualified vets at work and find out the answers to the many questions I will be faced with. The clinic will also provide me with many practical skills, which I could use to get through my theoretical studies and pass all my courses successfully.
For now, I am going to ask my parents if I can keep a cat. Having a pet of my own will teach me responsibility and basic animal care. In the future, when working as a vet, I will probably take care of animals of different species. It will be challenging but rewarding at the same time.
