Dear Salim,

        Thank you for asking me about what I’ll do after taking the Brevet exam. Well, if I succeed, I’ll go to the secondary school. I’ll opt for the Foreign Languages stream. If I pass my Baccalaureate, I’ll go to university. I will train to become a translator. If I get my diploma, I’ll travel all around the world to see other people and make friends.

         However, I know that life is full of surprises. So if I fail, I’ll go to a vocational school. I’ll train to be a computer technician. If I manage to get my diploma, I’ll open a cyber café and work on my own. Of course if I make a lot of money, I’ll build a house. I’ll get married and start a family.

                                                                     Yours,

                                                                     Karim
