My Dream Vacation

I'm going to go on vacation. I'm going to go to Hawaii because I've never been there and I heard it's beautiful. I'm going to go with my boyfriend and we are going to fly there. I think we are going to stay for 3 weeks. I hope the weather is going to be sunny and warm because we are going to go scuba diving, swimming, and hiking. But of course we are going to relax. I'm going to bring 2 bathing suits - one for swimming and one for sunbathing. I think we are going to see beautiful tropical flowers and gorgeous beaches. I'm definitely going to take a lot of pictures.

Jobs

This week, we are talking about jobs. I want to know about what you do. Here is my example:

I am a teacher. I teach the Level 2 class in the LEAF Program. I teach 19 hours a week, plan lessons, and correct my students' papers and tests. I am also the Adult Education Coordinator. I supervise the volunteers and make sure the program runs well. My favorite part of the job is working with the students because I like talking to people from different countries. My dream job is to be a singer because I love to sing. I sing all the time - I sing while I cook, I sing while I drive...
