Tell me why you want to work as a lawyer and why you'd be a good lawyer.

kimkim8450 Hi, I'm trying to write an essay about my the kind of job I want to do have when I graduate but I don't know how to start and what questions I have to answer. I want to write about working ~~at a lawyer~~ at a law firm. Any suggestion please?

Do some research on how to plan an essay, then write your essay and post it here, and hopefully someone will have a look at it for you.

Structure is very important in essay writing, and you need to know how to structure the introduction, body paragraphs and the conclusion of an essay.

The essay you refer to appears to be a descriptive one, but double check with your teacher before you start writing it.

I want to work as a lawyer because I love the idea of protecting people, fighting for the right things, raising my voice agaisnt those bad, greedy people. On the way of becoming a lawyer, I will reach the goal of becoming the person that I've always want to be - an independent, brave, clever woman who will never give up on what I supposed to be important.
Why I'd be a good lawyer? I think I have the ability of logical thinking, some friends of mine even said that I were quite smart. I've read a lot of books on many fields and I belive this will help me a lot if I become a lawyer. In addition, I'm quite good at giving my friends or siblings advice about their problems and they trust me on it. Maybe at the moment, I'm still a quiet, shy, clumsy girl but I believe that as long as I keep trying, I will achieve my ambition.

the essay is only about 140 words long and I don't know how to write the opening sentence in a brief, natural way.

Wait a minute. I thought you said you didn't know how to write this essay, but you do.

Now, go back over your response and organize your thoughts:
Why a lawyer?

protect people
fight for the right side
become independent
Anything else?

Why would you be good?

you're logical
you're well read
people trust you
Anything else?

Discard what doesn't make your point. Do you think that being clumsy matters? (I doubt it.)

Now, for each of your points, add evidence. Is there some lawyer who's inspired you? Some social injustice that's moved you? Some area of study that has honed some skill?

Here's essay I wrote:
When I was a child, I used to fancy about what i'm going to do when I grow up; a chef or an artist, a jounalist or a mathematician? It's a big problem to a young girl like me but finally, at the age of 20, I figured it out: I'm going to be a Lawyer.
I want to work as a lawyer because I love the idea of protecting people, fighting for the right things and raising my voice against those bad and greedy people. On the way to becoming a lawyer, I will reach the goal of becoming the person that I've always wanted to be- an independent, brave and clever woman who will never give up on what I suppose to be important.
Besides, I would be a good lawyer. I think I have the ability of logical thinking; some friends of mine even said that I was quite smart. I also get good marks at Maths and Information Technology. Moreover, I've read a lot of books on many subjects and I believe this will help me a lot if I become a lawyer. In addition, I'm quite good at giving my friends or siblings advice about their problems, and they trust my advice.
A couple years ago I read an article about Martin Luther King and his arduous journey toward delivering his people and at that time I was truly impressed. One of my favorite Martin Luther King quotes is: "Life's most persistent and urgent question is: 'What are you doing for others?'" Hopefully, as a Lawyer, I'll have the chance to do something big and meaningful for people and become a great person just like Martin Luther King.
Maybe, at the moment I'm still a quiet and shy girl, but I believe that as long as I keep trying, I will achieve my ambition.
