Experiencing dream job in advance!

            Have you ever thought about experiencing your dream job in advance? There is a girl who is pursuing her dream. In drama ‘Jane by Design’, Jane is a teenager who is really interested in fashion wants to have a job about fashion. She lives with her brother Ben. Her father died and her mother ran out on Jane and Ben. Ben tries to make money by getting jobs but it never work out. One day, Jane gets a chance to work as internship in a big fashion company. Jane wanted to get a job and help her brother with paying bills so she told white lies and work for a big fashion company as an intership. Jane is mature girl who cares about her family so much.

            First thing I want to talk about is what I like about this drama so much. I like how Jane is more mature than other teenagers. Jane is living the lives of a teenager and also a fashion assistant. She works as a fashion assistant for two reasons. One reason is that she is really interested in fashion and working at a fashion company is her dream job. The other reason is that she wants to help her brother by making money. Jane and her brother don’t have guardians who could support them so her brother had to drop out of his college and tries to make money by getting a job, but the jobs never work out. They still had to pay for bills but since her brother was unemployed, they coulndn’t pay for it. Jane feels really bad for Ben because she knows that it wasn’t easy for her brother to drop out his college and become her guardian so she wants to take a chance to do an internship at a big fashion company and help his brother with money. She must balance her high school life and her job and it is not easy for her to do her school works and also her business works. She cares about her family so much than other teenagers who get support by their own parents.

            On the other hand, what I don’t like about this drama is that how teenagers lie and do illegal things. Jane is still a teenager and she knows she can’t work for her dream job because of her age. However, still, she wants to do an internship by lying to the school and also the fashion company. Everyone from her work doesn’t know she is in high school and she keeps it in a secret from everyone at school except Billy, her best friend. Billy even helps her out when she has some problems. Jane got a fake ID card to pretend that she is an adult. She even goes to a bar with her co-workers to have some drinks. Many young girls would watch this drama and showing this kind of illegal things are not good for education.  

            Finally, the reason that I recommend you to watch this drama is to improve your English skills. I improved my English listening and speaking skills by watching American dramas. ‘Jane by Design’ is easier to understand than other American dramas that are about something criminal or medical. In this drama, they use words or phrases that many American people use in daily basis so it helps me learning words that many people use in America. When I watch American dramas, I put English subtitles on the bottom and I write down words that I do not understand. After watching dramas, I look through the dictionary and find meaning of those words. It really helps me a lot with improving my English listening and speakin skills.

            Jane is such a keen fashion assistant and also a mature young girl who lands her fashion dream job. I’m so proud of Jane that she does her best at her double life.  She is juggling the everyday challenge of high school and the world of fashion. Jane tries to be the best at her job and her school. If I was her, I don’t think I can handle those things that she does. Jane is such a charming and funny girl who leads this drama very interesting. When I watched this drama, I imagined working at a company that I wish to join. This drama will make you think about your dream job and also if you are trying to learn English by watching American dramas, it will help you to improve your English listening skills and also learn more vocaburary that many people use in America. I hope you will be able to watch this drama for enjoying and having fun!
