My opinion about the future

I’m not sure about myself, because I don’t know exactly what I want in the future, but I can imagine me working in my own business, or dancing in a performing arts in Barcelona… That’s what I imagine that I would like, but I’m not sure.

I think there’s not an ideal age to choose a profession, because the people are different and maybe one person (since he is a child) wants to be an an artist, and another, changes his opinion one month before going University. It depends of the personality of the person.

In my country, the teenager exam is ‘Selectivitat’ . You do it when you finish the high school.

I think the parents should give advice about careers without pressure.

If the adults pressurize their children, then, the children can’t think clearly, and they probably will choose wrongly his career.

The future ( a composition )

In my opinion our lives will be easier and healthier in the future. We won’t create any pollution, and scientists will create a type of aspirin with all the nutrients that we need. We might have more time for entertainment.
I think it’s important we colonise space, because in the future we will be more people than now, and for that reason, we will need more water and food. And we could meet this food in the other planets.
I feel optimistic about the future. I believe that people will be able to be responsible about the pollution in the earth.

International students in London

With its long tradition of musical theatre, London was the natural place for Bishat to come and study. In the third and final year degree at dramatic arts school, she is auditioning for roles and planes to stay.

When she first arrived in the UK, Bishat was surprised at how hospitable everyone was. "It was really different. Everyone's really friendly and talks to you and says 'hi'. It was so weird. When people ask me 'Are you OK?' I stop to answer, but they just being friendly." It helps that her English is googd. " I learnt at school and from watching television. And they tech us accents at school, too".

She found the Tube, London's underground train system, difficult to get used to, through. She was also alarmed at the pace of life. " The tempo is fast, everyone is always on the go. You need to be a lot feistier here -and I am- or the people will just walk past you."


JOB OPPORTUNITIES

Bishat is delighted at the opportunities studding in London has given her, too. " They do have some good colleges in Sweden, but the tradition of musical theater isn't as strong as is here. You get directors and composers walking through these doors, you get firsthand information and people know us and might employ us."
