8 How do you think your education will influence your life after school? What will you study? What career would you like to have one day? Write a paragraph of around 60 words.
Every one of us has a dream job and a career path he or she likes to follow. For me, I want to study Translation. After school, my education will influence my life in a way that all the subjects I take in college or university will be specific and related to the major subject I study. I think I will try to see the career options my education allows me to have and where I could work after finishing my degree. In short, I will try to get the utmost benefits from the courses I take so that one day I will use what I have learnt in the university in my career as a translator.

10 Read through the article on page 46 again. Imagine that you have just joined a space school. Write an email to your friend telling him or her what it is like to study there. Write about 80 words.
Hello Jihad,
I’ve decided to join a space school to study as a secondary education rather than an academic one.
I know that there are many streams of secondary education that we can attend but obviously, there is a new type of learning needed to keep up with space and technology industries. The subjects are quite different from the traditional ones such as Astronomy and Astrophysics.
It might be a better idea to join such schools so that we can take any number of different career paths and lead to a variety of career opportunities.
I'm really looking forward to attending this school.
See you soon.

Decisions, decisions Posted by: Hiba
Do you know what you're going to study at university? I’ve come up with some ideas but I really need your help! Do get in touch if you have any stories or advice that you think might help me to make this life-changing choice.
Firstly, I want to help people, but Science is not my strongest subject so I won’t be able to do Medicine. I could study Psychology and follow a career path in that area, but I don’t know much about it. If any of you are Psychology students, please do message me about your course. I’d love to hear about it – what you love, what you like, and of course what you don't like at all!
Secondly, though, I’d really like to study something like Linguistics, because I’ve always been interested in language. I’ve done some research and found out that, while it doesn’t lead directly to a career, it is interesting and academic, as well as a well-respected degree. Can you help me get a better picture of it?
So, can you help me with my decision? We could start up a useful conversation about choosing paths for ourselves at this next exciting stage!
