Answer 1

Dear Jake,

I hope this letter finds you well. It's great to hear about your interests in music and dance. It's wonderful that you have a clear idea of who you want to be in the future - a performer. Pursuing something you love and being the center of attention can be very fulfilling.

Regarding my future plans, I haven't made up my mind yet. I am still exploring different possibilities and trying to understand my passions. Sadly, our teachers do not discuss the issue of choosing our future careers in our lessons. Instead, they focus more on academic subjects.

I do believe that our personal qualities play a significant role in the jobs we choose. For example, if someone is creative and loves art, they may be more inclined to pursue a career in design or painting.

Now, onto your gap year plans! I'm curious to know what exciting things you have in store. What are your goals or aspirations during this year? Are you planning to travel, learn a new skill, or gain work experience? How do you think this gap year will benefit your university studies?

I look forward to hearing all about your plans!

Best wishes,
