HyeJung Lee's Article

Last week in our Reading and Writing class I set my three students this task: to produce a piece of writing which would explain how to do something.
First, they brainstormed topic ideas, and after that they did some research on the internet and created a plan for the layout of the piece. They gave each other feedback on their initial plans.
R&W class takes place everyday for one hour - the articles by Armand and HyeJung took three days (i.e. 3hrs) to produce. Their next step was to write the first draft and make corrections, and now you can enjoy reading HyeJung's final draft of her article: HOW TO GET INTO THE UNITED NATIONS.


"Are you looking for a global, professional job in the future? Many students have a dream like this. The job which is the most competitive, official, and professional might be a member of the United Nations. Here are some crucial tips for students who are not ready to win global competition.

Firstly, you should decide accurately which kind of organization you are interested in. As you know, the United Nations comprises 192 countries with diverse organizations overall. Making sure what you prefer enables you to prepare well. Then, plan! Before planning, I strongly recommend you to become the best strategist in the word. Generally, students misunderstand that fitting themselves into the criteria is the top priority, however, you shouldn’t forget that almost all of the competitors know this. It means that even if you have the perfect background, there is a risk that you will not be accepted by the United Nations. So, what can you do?

In fact, the United Nations is not just a workplace, but also a huge government which has to take care of humanitarian affairs. Please make a special global project on your own. Regardless of region, there are many economic, political, or cultural issues all over the world. Choose one and solve the problem as well as you can. Analyze the fact, gather detailed information and be a strategist as I recommend. Since you are free to design ideal world in this project, you can show your passion, high intelligence, and also remind the United Nations who they are looking for.

Finally, your life is yours. Don’t hesitate to find your way in the world. Take time to find yourself (it’s not wasting time) and then, make your own way, dreaming of your beautiful age in the future."
