I would want to learn how to design beautiful clothes and learn how to driver. I want to learn how to design beautiful clothes as I want to be a fashion designer.I want to learn how to drive as it would be easier for me to travel from one place to another. Oh,I would also need to learn how to sew as being a fashion designer I would need to sew the clothes that I designed. I am not very sure if I want to learn how to drive as alot of car accidents happen on the road. But all the things I want to learn, I want to learn them when I am about 20 years old.

When I grow older, I want to learn to write books.
I want to learn writing as writing is very useful and fun.
The benefits of writing helps improve your english, when you write and you can also earn money out of it.
Writing books may not be at an office like some other jobs, but instead it can be at home.
Writing is also a fun hobby to have.
It is really fun to write stories and also good for the readers who read it.
Even if you grow older, you can still read during your free time and it is really useful to read books. Because you can learn alo of things from reading books.
It is really nice to see people reading and enjoying the books that you wrote, and thats one of the reasons why I want to learn to write in the future.

Valencia Tan 6Resilience said...

I would want to learn how to make handmade things and earn my own money to buy the things I want. I also want to learn to drive as it is very convenient to travel around when I am bored and to go out when I am free alone. I would also want to learn how to cook so that I can have healthy meals everyday,without having to eat outside food which have alot of MSG which is very unhealthy.
Points:-Make handmake things
-Learn to drive
-Learn to cook..

I would want to be a traveller so that i can take photographs of people and paste on my blogg and shre them with my friends and teach them, about their culture, religion and tradition so that they don't do the wrong things when they go thier countries and would be a great thing to know how to take expert photographs.With the rest of my hard earn money i could donate it to charity.


Lecturing would also be fun to do as i love explaining about things other people do not understand.

Faylinn said...

When i grow up, i want to learn how to dance. I can benefit by dancing for my pastimes and enjoyment. I also want to learn how to cook. Cooking is very fun and i can cook for people to eat and learn about new food at the same time! I also want to continue my learning and studying. I would like to learn different languages and speak to different people. I would also learn how to drive. But on top of all i would like to bake cupcakes and do the frosting's. I love cupcakes and their frosting's. I can even teach my family members to bake cupcakes, e.g. Chocolate cupcakes,Rainbow cupcakes,etc.

I would like to learn how to take care of my body like doing qigong or taiji on weekend mornings like the old people you see now under buildings or at basketball courts so i wouldn't get "lao ren chi dai zhen" (you noe,the old people forget thngs that one)
But i think that I would like to work as something as i think being a old person is kinda boring(no offense) Like being a manicurist or hairdresser,so thta even if im old and dont work at offices anymore i still can go shopping at Orchard.=)

Flora Lam 6Resilience said...

I would like to learn many things when I grow old.I would like to learn Taiji,Majong,Folk dancing,Cooking ,scuba diving.
Although Majong is part of gambling,but people say that Majong prevents people from getting Dementia.Taiji is a very slow and graceful excercise,it is a very good excercise.Folk dancing is also a nice dance,it makes the elderly move more regularly as they have to practice regularly to improvise their skills.Cooking uses more mussles,and memory as they have to remember what ingredients to put in the food to make it taste delicious.Eating is a good but unhealthy hobby though,it contains lots of calories....
Scuba diving is a nice form of excercise too.You would dive in the cool waters and observe sea creatures in real life instead of spending so much money to go to the Underwater world!How cool is that!So cool!

Russell Wong said...

i would like to be a pilot so i can go and learn to go and learn flying and buy a small plane.then i can bring people like Pravind to fly round the world.By visiting different countries,i can learn about many different races,languages and different cultures.i could also make many new friends from around the world.i can even try to fly round the world.maybe,one day,i would really get a chance to start flying

zhi zhong said...

i would like to learn how to bake cake and cookies like double chocolate chip , especially ! Having to make such delicious food is a treat like no other , feeling a great sensation of making such food . This learning can also make money , opening a ckery shop for people to enjoy some of the cakes or cookies that i make. Seeing people eating my cake and saying "OMG this is delicious " is such a delight.><
Anyway, i should learn how to make coffee and how to cook for my parents to enjoy the food as this means that i can make a full course meal.

Flora Lam 6Resilience said...

I agree with what Mabel has said.We can be independant by doing things that we can manage by ourselves.Baking ourselves saves more money and is very nutricious.We no need to trouble ourselves by going to the bakery and who knows what the productor has done to the bread before sending it to the bakery.

lim guan heng said...

when i am older, i would want to travel the world to learn the languages. i would benefit from it as i could communicate more fluently from people from different races like Japanese, Korean, French, Cantonese, Indonesian. And the second thing i would want to learn is to start a buisness so that i could have some buisness sense. i would donate 50% of my year end profits to charity to help the needy or unprivillaged

Shukri 6Resilience said...

When I am retired, I would travel around the world.(If I am rich)To learn about the countries culture.Then when I come back,I would share it with my families and friends.
I would also teach the younger generation how to coook.I would do that as they will know how to cook meals when they grow up instead of eating out.
I may consider continuing my studies.Hence,I can learn more things and become smarter.

Lim Jin Long said...

When i am older would like to be an explorer,so that i could travel around the world and go to mysterious places that is known to poeple and i would be famous and earn a lot of money.I would also dicorver new or extinct creatures and share them with the world to know more about them.After that i will start my own business and have my own family to spend my life with so that i would not be alone in my house.The second thing i would like to do when i am older is to learn to cook so that next time if i have my own family i will cook famouse dishes for my family to eat instead of going to restaurants and buy expensive dishes to eat.

I want to an archaeologist as i can find treasures and valuable items that i would keep as souveniers and the future generation may see them in the museum when i pass on and they place the valuables in a museum,maybe before i even pass off i can tell my granchildren and or children about the adventure i had and if they wish to pursue the same thing i have then they do not need to learn as they have my experience and can set off when they have the money.But all that is IF i ever BECOME an archaeologist

Amelia Chee 6 Resilience said...

I want to learn a lot of things when I am in my late 40s even though i am old. Like... :
1) Driving,so that i can travel freely by myself when I want to.
2) Cooking, so that I can cook my favourite side dishes and my friends and family's favourite dishes too. I would feel very happy when they compliment or smile when they eat my food.

I would want to learn how to make soap when it is time to hang up my boots.I hope that doing that would help me earn more money and I can relieve my stress when something troubles me.Making soap can let me breath in the smell of the soap and doing that could help me feel more lively and cheerful.Doing that xcould also help me to relax my mind and body.I may also want to learn how to cook so that I could still find a job as a chef if I am poor.Learning how to cook can also let me savour the food I cook.I could also cook for my family when I am retired,I hope that I will make my family proud and hope that they can share fond memories with my family and they remember my cooking even after I passed away. lim yong kap 6 resilience

clarissa khor 6Resilience said...

I want to learn to cook food.Because i would not need to ask someone to cook something nutritious for me to eat when i want to and i can depend on myself when i grow up.
When i have to go overseas for business trip, i can cook my meals evryday instead of buying outside food.This way, i will lead a healthier life there.
i also want to learn how to bake cake when i grow up.Baking cake help me relief stress and sometime i can bake one cake on mothers' day,fathers' day, father,mother and brother's birthday.Also i can bake cakes and even cookies with my mother as she one person in my family who is interested in foods. By baking cakes and cookies,i can bond with my family on sunday evenings.I can understand more about my children too.

When i grow up i want to be a stunt man . It is cool to be a stunt man because it is so fun by doing risk taking stunts .There was once i went to America and saw a man doing stunts by driving a sports car really fast and the car jump over a fire i found it really cool and exciting that made me really want to grow up to be stunt man.I would also earn alot more money just by doing some stunts.i would save it up and give it my family.

When I retire, would like to learn about animals, their characteristics and habits. I would want to work at an animal shelter and do simple jobs like putting food for the animals and taking the dogs for walks, anything to keep me busy. old people are usually bored at home with nio one to accompany them and nothing to do but watch TV. without any excercise, their bones and muscles would get weaker because of the lack of use. but by working in the shelter, I would move around and use my muscles.

When I finish my college and after my national servis.Iwant to learn advance technology.When I learn how to build a computer,I wanted to learn more about computers.I want to learn advanced technology because my laptop ang desktop always spoil and I donot want to waste money just to fix a computer.To fix a computer at a normal computer shop will about or sometime can reach $50.Most computer are now becoming slower due to virus or old hardware.Other than fixing computers,I also want to create a new and better anti-virus equipment.I also want to create a new and faster hardware and computer.With this skill I would maybe like to create type or version of a computer.I also want to help phone and computer company with their problemsof making new phone and computers.I would also want to create ne longer lasting batteries for laptop.I might also want to fix the wire problem for desktop.The wire are often spoiled by people who are unhappy about their computer.People often mess with the wire because they go to website that involve virus causing the computer to be slow.

I want to learn higher maths when I am pushing 50 despite some of the questions are very difficult.Maths is a very interesting subject as some problems sums are very interesting when you takes a long time to think.Solving pattern helps me to relive stress though people may thought doing work gains them stress but i think in a different way.my favourite topic in maths is angles as it is indeed the easiest chapter in the world of maths.

I would like to be a chef when I am older.I would cook very delicious dishes for my love ones.These few days,I ate some seafood in a restaurant.The food there was appetising and the ambience was appealing.I wished that I also can own a restaurant as appealing as his.I can benefit from allowing more people to taste my homemade dishes.I might also consider furthering my studies to make myself a better person.

I would want to just do fun things and play with money before I die otherwise I would never be able to do such things. Like skydiving, climbing up a tall mountain and other extreme sports. Do some exam questions at times so my knowledge will not go to waste.

Naomi 6G said...

I would learn technology and software. Have you noticed that Mark Zuckerburg built/made Facebook in his dormitory room? All he needed was his knowledge of technology. Bill Gates was very interested in technology. Thus, he buildt/made Microsoft when he was just a teenager. All these people were so successful because they knew about technology and software. I wish to be successful like them...

Eugene 6 G said...

Yes I Would still want to learn as we can learn to make use of newer technology or new mathematical or science theory
