If money didn't matter, what work would you do?

Sentence starters

  • “My dream job is……”
  • “I would love it because……”
  • “To get there, I need to……”

Sample answer (read it aloud, then make it yours)

If money did not matter, I would be a teacher in a government school. My passion is explaining things in a simple way; my friends always ask me to explain a topic before an exam. A teaching career is not the highest-paid, but it is the most useful. I would like to teach English to children from villages, because I know how hard it is to learn without help. I think a dream job is one you would do even without a salary.

Follow-up questions to ask your partner

  2. What skills do you need for it?
