I see. What about vocational courses?
They provide us with practical skills, training and qualifications to succeed in a particular job
OK. So, what are your plans for the future?
I've been thinking about studying abroad lately. Besides improving my language skills. I can learn more about other cultures. It can be exciting.

Sounds great! I'd like to join you if I can. we have never been to Thailand before.
I couldn't agree more. I've travelled to quite a few countries since grade 9. Next year I plan to go to Thailand to work as a volunteer at a children’s home. I hope the practical experience will make my CV look good.
