Speaking exercise

Tell me about your future as a diplomat? What do you have to do? How much money do you make? Where would you live? Tell me everything you can find!

I think my future as a diplomat will be very busy, because I need to speech to others and talk to a group of people which I don’t know them. I think i have to make my English better. In my opinion, I don’t think my English is well enough as a diplomat. I also need to try to speak in front of many people. I think I’m a bit afraid of that right now. I think i need to be braver and more confident. I don’t know how much money a diplomat make, the answer I found in the internet said “sone diplomats earn a lot of money, some of them earn just a little.” When you travel to another country, you need to speak to others not just in one day.

A diplomat is about his country. A diplomat shows the country is strong or not. Developing country diplomats sometimes they’re good. If the diplomat of a country is good at speaking, that means the country is strong.

I went to a summer camp, it is called “the talent diplomat summer camp”. I used to think it’s very interesting and it can improve my ability at English, in fact, we don’t speak English there. I don’t think know why it is called the talent diplomat summer camp. We only have one English lesson less than a day, the more ridiculous is it’s for playing games. I think many people there is not good at English, it’s at NanJing. Most of the students there are from NanJing, most of them is suck at English. They can read difficult as different. I don’t how can they read that. I go there with one of my classmates, we lived there for ten days. He brought a kindle but somebody spilled water on it, and then it doesn’t work. All in all, I think it’s wasting time going to this summer camp.
