Year 6 pupils, even though they are still very young at 10 or 11 years old, can be asked to write about where do they see themselves 10 years from now. The counterpart topic is “What do they want to be 10 years from now?”
The pupils or their parents or tutors can use this guide:
1st paragraph – What you want to be 10 years from now? Write a 3 to 4 sentence summary of what you want to be when you become 21 years old. This includes what course you want to graduate from in the future and from which school? What job you want to apply in or start working in and what kind of employer / company you want to work for? What you want to achieve in line with your talents, hobbies and interests? Who are the people (family, relatives and friends) you want to live with or keep in touch with and where would you want to live?
2nd paragraph – Expound, explain and give details (as much as possible) on what course you want to graduate from in the future and from which school? Give one big reason and one or two additional reasons why you want to enter the career corresponding to the course. Examples are that you really like to the job everyday when you become an adult and you want to help other people through this kind of job.
3rd paragraph - Expound, explain and give details (as much as possible) on what job you want to apply in or start working in and what kind of employer / company you want to work for? What office or workplace location you dream of?

5th paragraph - Expound, explain and give details (as much as possible) on who are the people (family, relatives and friends) you want to live with or keep in touch with and where would you want to live?

For example, you can say that as soon as you start working and earning a living, you want to save money to buy your own house and lot. Give possible details like which part of the city or province you prefer and what kind of neighborhood.
