The highlights I learn from this writing are:
Sample Writing :
I will be 34 years old in 20 years. I think I will be a warm-hearted and helpful person in the future.
In the future, I think I will work in a hospital as a doctor. Because I like Chinese medicine very much and I think doctors can help many sick people .
In the future I will live with my parents near the sea. All my family like the sea and the fresh air near the sea.
In my spare time,I will travel around the world. I like sports, so I will also play ball games with my friends.
I will enjoy my life because I will spend my time how I want to. My life will be colorful.
