II TOPIC: Write an essay to express you wish to work for an international organization, giving the reasons why you choose the organization.
When still a little boy, I read an article about the World Health Organization (WHO), I realized that health is of the most important factor affecting one’s quality of life, and that helping to improve people’s health is a noble profession Since then, I have harbored the dream to work for the Organization for a number of reasons as following.
First, working for the World Health Organization (WHO) gives me opportunities to live abroad,
to use English at work, and to have high salary I am an active and dynamic person so I think it will be
Trang 4an interesting life to have chance to travel far and wide to meet different people of different personalities and nationalities.
Second, I will be able to further my biology knowledge by doing numerous medical researches I can also understand more about life mechanism, the reactions of the bodies to the changes of the surroundings Of course, working for the World Health Organization (WHO) will offer me occasions to meet, to have talks with well-known people worldwide.
As far as I can say, taking care of other people’s health is always a respectful job Working as an official of the World Health Organization (WHO) helps me to be more aware of the value of life Looking after the ones who struggle to survive will give me strength and hope, help me think more optimistically and do more positive things.
Living is sacrificing I for long have considered this proverb as one of my life approaches I will try my best to realize my dream some day in the future.
