48. Sample writing: Sep. 3 Tuesday Fine Today in my English class, we talked about jobs and personalities. Different people with different personalities can do different jobs well. As for me, I think I am kind or smart, talkative and easygoing. As a result, I want to be a TV reporter. To be a TV reporter, I have to be smart and talkative, because I will have to meet different people everyday, and ask them questions. I need to ask proper questions and make quick responses to their questions as well. Being easy going is also of the same importance, because if people don’t like to talk with me, I will get nothing and lose my job. It’s certain that I need to study harder to gain more knowledge and learn to develop critical thinking and try to understand others more as well.
