Procedure: Teacher asks: What do you think the interviewer really wants to know with this question? Board answers under 3 categories: Ambition – Realism – Commitment. Short class discussion.

Procedure: Teacher presents 3 short model answers: Short-term professional → In 3 years, I see myself working as a licensed vet in a small animal clinic, improving my technical skills. Long-term vision → In 10 years, I’d like to be a specialist in surgery, mentoring younger vets. Mixed personal/professional → In 5 years, I hope to have stability in my career and also balance family and personal goals. Highlight useful sentence starters: In the short term, I’d like to… My long-term goal is to… Ideally, I see myself… Professionally, I want to… while personally, I hope to…

Procedure: Students individually write a 3–4 sentence answer for one timeframe (3, 5, or 10 years). Then pair up and share answers, giving 1 suggestion to improve.

Procedure: Groups of 3: Interviewer – Interviewee – Observer. Interviewer asks: Where do you see yourself in 3/5/10 years? Interviewee responds (1–2 min). Observer notes 1 strength + 1 area to improve. Rotate roles until everyone has practiced. Teacher circulates, offering feedback and noting useful phrases.

Procedure: Class discussion: Which answers sounded realistic? Which were inspiring? Teacher boards 5–6 strong expressions from the activity (e.g., gain experience in…, specialize in…, contribute to…, achieve stability, mentor others). Students copy into glossaries. My dream is to… Students copy into glossaries.
