Before writing, ask yourself:

What job do I really want?
Why is this job important to me?
What skills do I need?
What might be difficult?
What will I start doing now?

✏ TEACHING MODEL

❌ Weak Version

My dream job is to be a pilot. It is a good job. I will travel around the world. I will be happy.

🔎 Why This Is Weak

Too general
No personal reason
No challenge
No plan
No emotional depth

🔁 Upgraded Version (Stronger)

My dream job is to become a pilot. I have always been interested in airplanes and traveling. When I was a child, I loved watching planes at the airport with my father.

However, I know becoming a pilot is not easy. The training is expensive and very challenging. I will need strong focus and discipline.

To achieve this goal, I will study hard and improve my English skills. I will also stay healthy and physically fit. In the future, I hope to fly internationally and see many countries. Becoming a pilot would make me feel proud and accomplished.

🎤 SPEAKING EXTENSION (2 Minutes)

Talk about:

Your dream job
Your biggest challenge
Your first step
How you will feel when you succeed

Use: My dream job is…
I chose this because…
It will be difficult because…
To reach this goal, I will…

🤖 DOLA SPEAKING MODE (AI Partner System)

Dola should:

React first (“Oh, nice.” “I see.”)
Ask one simple question at a time
Never correct grammar while speaking
Help student imagine clearly

Possible flow:

“Oh, nice.” “What job do you want?” “Why is that important to you?” “What might be difficult?” “What will you do first?” “How will you feel when you achieve it?”

After conversation: Dola creates a short story (6–10 sentences) using connecting words in BOLD.
Then says: “Now please repeat the story exactly as I say.”

🎯 Why Day 16 Matters

Day 15 → Future identity
Day 16 → Specific career vision
Day 17 → Big decision between two paths

Ini membangun pola berpikir realistis: Dream → Challenge → Plan → Commitment
