FIELD TRIP

        It was sunny day. We went to a field trip with my teacher and classmates including level 3, 4 & 5 classes. Farintosh Farms was our destination.
        After we arrived, we found a beautiful farm with colorful flowers; it was amazing. Most of us took pictures having the nice flowers as a background for our pictures. Of course, we took the whole group pictures. It's worth of memory.
       Then, we borrowed a basket to pick up the beans from the fields. It has been a wonderful experience for me. I have learned how to choose the young beans and the old ones. I have learned how I could pick up more beans. I have learned how to cook these beans with meat. I have learned that beans can be used as a kind of stuff inside buns.
       It was a great trip. If it's convenient for the next time, I like to have Castle Norma trip. Therefore, I can learn more about  the Canadian culture.

ENTJ

Extraverted iNtuitive Thinking Judging

by Joe Butt

"I don't care to sit by the window on an airplane. If I can't control it, why look?"

ENTJs have a natural tendency to marshall and direct. This may be expressed with the charm and finesse of a world leader or with the insensitivity of a cult leader. The ENTJ requires little encouragement to make a plan. One ENTJ put it this way... "I make these little plans that really don't have any importance to anyone else, and then feel compelled to carry them out." While "compelled" may not describe ENTJs as a group, nevertheless the bent to plan creatively and to make those plans reality is a common theme for NJ types.

ENTJs are often "larger than life" in describing their projects or proposals. This ability may be expressed as salesmanship, story-telling facility or stand-up comedy. In combination with the natural propensity for filibuster, our hero can make it very difficult for the customer to decline.

TRADEMARK: -- "I'm really sorry you have to die." (I realize this is an overstatement. However, most Fs and other gentle souls usually chuckle knowingly at this description.)

ENTJs are decisive. They see what needs to be done, and frequently assign roles to their fellows. Few other types can equal their ability to remain resolute in conflict, sending the valiant (and often leading the charge) into the mouth of hell. When challenged, the ENTJ may by reflex become argumentative. Alternatively (s)he may unleash an icy gaze that serves notice: the ENTJ is not one to be trifled with.

(ENTJ stands for Extravert, iNtuitive, Thinking, Judging and represents individual's preferences in four dimensions characterising personality type, according to Jung's and Briggs Myers' theories of personality type.)

ENTJ Career Choices

Extravert(28%) iNtuitive(6%) Thinking(22%) Judging(22%)

ENTJs often find themselves in occupations that require good analytical and planning skills. ENTJs build successful careers in the areas requiring considerable organizational skills and intellectual efforts, presenting a challenge, and calling for creativity. They are greatly represented in technological and management consulting companies among engineers and developers, and among high- and mid-rank managers. They are also able to realize their potential in start-ups where they often fulfill management positions or take responsibility for the whole project.

Jung Career Indicator™ determines occupations and areas in which ENTJs find themselves most fulfilled and content, are most successful, and likely are most represented in. The following list factors in the level expressivenes of each of four characteristics of personality type. It lists the most suitable areas of occupations along with some examples of educational institutions, where you can receive a relevant degree or training. The most preferred areas appear first.

FIELD TRIP



        It was sunny yesterday. We went to a field trip with my teacher and classmates including level 3 class and level 4 & 5 class. Farintosh Farms was our destination.

        After we arrived, we found a beautiful farm with colourful flowers. It's amazing. Most of us took pictures within the nice flowers background at the first time. Of course, we took the whole group pictures. It's worth of memory.

       Then we borrowed a basket to pick up the beans in the fields. It's a wonderful experience for me. I learned how to choose the young beans and the old ones. I learned how I could pick up more beans. I learned how to cook these beans with meats. I learned the beans also can use as a kind of stuff inside buns.

       It was a great trip, exactly. If it's convenient next time, I like to have Castle Norma trip.
