Je voudrais devenir pompier pour aider les gens. J'imagine que ce serait un travail très gratifiant d'aider à sauver la vie des gens. Je pense qu’il serait un travail passionnant et intéressant. Il n'est pas nécessaire d'avoir une licence, il est peut-être plus important d'être en bonne forme physique et fort. La formation est un stage intensif qui dure seize semaines. Après avoir terminé le cours, les pompiers poursuivent leur apprentissage dans une caserne de pompiers, où ils suivent des cours plus spécialisés. J'aime que les heures soient variées je pense que cet horaire me conviendrait bien.
Translation:
I would like to be a firefighter to help people. I imagine it would be a very rewarding job helping to save people's lives. I think it would be an exciting and interesting job. It is not necessary to have a degree it is perhaps more important to be physically fit and strong. The training is a course which lasts for 16 weeks. After completing the course, firefighters continue with their apprenticeship at a fire station, where they complete more specialist courses. I like that the hours would be varied - I think this timetable would suit me well.
