SEGUNDA PARTE Para escribir, coloque el cursor del mouse sobre el título en azul.
For the second part, write a composition expressing how the motivators have been
part of your professional development. Recycle the grammar and vocabulary you
have learned in this learning activity.
Example: I feel variety is the most important factor in my motivation. I don’t like
doing repetitive things. In my current job I have learned how to use Photoshop and
how to market different products online. I am becoming very good at it and now I
am able to teach others.
I consider that being competent is the main virtue for which I am here,
since I have a good capacity to learn, I identify problem situations and
I can solve them.
Obviously there must be interest in something, it is already
fundamental to doggedly pursue an idea. Otherwise it would
disinterested.
The challenges that have come my way and have overcome them
have made me a pretty strong person.
The recognition of other people motivates me.
Being independent is sometimes good and helps as a motivator, you
know what you have and what you can do.
Relationships are necessary, since groups form from them to achieve
common goals, which would otherwise be difficult to achieve.
Lifestyle is very important since this is where my personal
development comes from.
You must have security since you must trust yourself and this can help
us in whatever we want
I don't feel that money is really important, obviously it is needed to
cover financial expenses, but really what matters most is what we give
of ourselves.
