Aufgabe: Meine Zukunft

Review future tense (werden and word order) in a grammar resource, such as Fischer-Richardson, German Reference Grammar*(OK to download and keep and even give to others). Write (in German) at least one page about "Meine Zukunft". Tell how you envision the next major part of your life, in its personal, educational, and career dimensions. It will help you to (re)read the personal statements we've read by people writing in German, and also what you've found in your "ich über mich" search. Here are some questions / topics to address:

1) Was sind Ihre Ziele im Leben / Beruf? (persönlich? psychologisch? beruflich? finanziell?)
2) Ihr weiteres Studium - nicht nur das Was, sonder Wie und Warum
3) Ihre zukünftigen Wohnverhältnisse - Wo? Mit wem? Wie? Warum?
4) Freizeit und Privatleben - Was, und wie hängt das mit Ihren Studien- und Berufsplänen zusammen?

This writing sample will have several uses. It gives me a detailed "baseline" picture of your writing proficiency. It will go into your portfolio as part of documenting your German proficiency and your plans for the future, for example if you want to apply for a scholarship or job. At the end of the quarter you may repeat the activity to show how much progress you've made in your German and how your thoughts about the future have evolved.
