Part I. Read the following text about plans of a 3rd
-grade High School student. She does very well at
many different subjects at school, so she is not very clear about what to do with her future.
Hello! My name is Elisa and I want to tell you my experience at school, which has been very easy to
me actually. Since I enter school, I have never had problems in mathematics, chemistry or another
difficult subject like most of the students at school. I have always thought that this was very great,
but now that I am going to left High School, I am very confused about what to study at the University.
I like mathematics and physics very much, so I said “I am going to be an Astronaut,” which is very
interesting but I have to travel to another city far away from my home in Osorno, in order to study
that I have to travel to Santiago or La Serena. I was also thinking about studying something related
to biology, and I said “I am going to be a doctor,” but blood is not my best friend. However, I am
really into History and I thought, “I am going to study to be a History Teacher,” but my father does
not want me to be a teacher because they do not earn too much money. Then, I feel that the best
for me is to study something related to Humanistic, because I really enjoy reading and writing, so I
thought, “I am going to be a writer and be my entire life selling books.” I do not know if that is the
correct decision to take but I think that I have plenty of time to study whatever I want! I am going
to study all my life different things, because I am young and full of energy to do it. Would you do
the same as me?
Part II. Answer the following questions in order to have your arguments to create your text later.
