My Learning Plan media type="file" key="Jenny's Learning Plan.mp3" width="254" height="113" My name is Jenny Kim. I am a Korean. I have been living in Australia for four years. I have been studying for 14 years. I studyed In the cheunan college for a 2 year degree course and I graduatied. at a goverment child care centre for one year In Korea I gained a qualification as a child carer. After I opened my own business as a child care centre owner. I had an interview with a manager of an Australian baby centre but I couldn't get the job because my English skills were not good enough. I have kept learning English at the polytechnic and I have gained jobseeking strategies from my English teacher. If I have a job in a baby cenre in Australia I will fulfill my resposibilities and commitments. Last year I studied level 1 English. Iam stuying level 2 this year. My teacher's name was Margaret. My problem was writing skills and how I could use verbs. I hope that I'll finish studying English, when I complete this level. My **short-term** **goal** is to finish Certificate 2 in Spoken and Written English. My long-term goal is to study tourism part-time. Also my plan is entrance into a Polytechnic degree in Tourism. My **future** goal is to get a job as a tourist agent because I like to trabelling in Tasmania and I like making a lot of friends. so, I want to be a tourist agent.

I have **barriers** to reaching my goals. My main barrier is just English. I think I have to **train** hard **everday.**

/3/10 Hi Jenny, There are a few gaps in your writing. Can you please try to answer these questions and then write some more sentences to complete your story. I think I am correct when I say that you gained your child-care qualification in Korea. Was it a university course? How long did it take to complete? Was the child-care centre where you worked, in Hobart? How long did you work there for? Why do you want to work as a tourist agent? What other barriers do you have to achieving your goals? We are finishing our story today so just a few more sentences would be great. Suzanne
