Due Tuesday (14 January): Using an advanced paper/electronic German dictionary (not just a word-for-word list), look up and list the various German equivalents of these words: "education", "training", "skills", "knowledge", "learn", "study", "attend", "go to [school/university]", "work". Then write, in German, a one page (single-spaced) document that discusses your education and why you are getting it. Follow these specifications: paragraph 1: BRIEFLY summarize your education from kindergarten / elementary school on, but with particular emphasis on the latter part of high school and then your college years. Were you a good learner? Did you receive good teaching? What were / are your other education-/occupation-related interests? When did you know (if you know) what you wanted/want to do/be? paragraph 2: What do you want from your education in terms of earning a living and being someone in the working world / a profession / some other goal in life? Why? How will you do it? paragraph 3: What do you want from your education (and other learning?) in terms of your personality, existence, quality of life - the larger goals and hopes? How will you be/become a better person, contribute something to this world, etc. etc.? |
