WORKING WORLDMy name is Patcharin. I am 18 years old and I'm a new employee. I graduated with a Bachelor's degree in graphic design from Saipanya School. While I was at the school, I joined a graphic design club. The club taught me to be sincere, hard-working, open-minded and determined to succeed. I learned how to be responsible and how to work with others. I'm glad to be starting work now. Patcharin Sopitnukul, Congratulations on completing your degree and getting a job, Patcharin. Life will probably be more challenging, but also more fun now that you're an adult with your own income and responsibilities. It sounds like you got the most out of your time at university and benefited greatly from joining the graphic design club. Well done, and good luck for the future! — Editor |
FUN IN FUKUOKA
Hi, I'm Pim and I'm 18 years old. I want to tell you about my trip to Japan last year.
I went to Japan in October last year. I went to Fukuoka, which is a city in the south of Japan. It's a peaceful and prosperous city.
While I was there, I got up early and went shopping. I also ate sushi. The people in Fukuoka were polite and kind. I was very impressed and I want to go again!

Thanks for telling us about your trip, Pim. I've been to Japan a few times, but I've never been to Fukuoka. It sounds like a fun place. If I ever make it there, I'll be sure to try the local sushi! — Editor
FANTASTIC FLIGHT
I recently had a chance to take a flying course with a flight simulator. It was very fun and taught me a lot. In the cockpit, I had an Instructor who was a pilot. He was nice and explained every step in great detail. I experienced flying over town and cities.
Aviation is a very interesting thing. In the simulator, the seats move as if you were on a real plane. Under the guidance of a professional, I felt safe and sure that I would not crash.

That sounds like an amazing experience, Theethad. I'm sure you will find plenty of work if you decide to pursue a career as a pilot, particularly a commercial airline pilot. The pay is probably pretty good, too. Keep up the good work! — Editor
