Things to remember when you talk about your future plans, aims and aspirations:


1. Proper grammatical usage

Your audience is going to be sophisticated individuals with strong English command. Make sure you are up to their standards, and do focus on grammatical accuracy and logical sentence structure. They should be able to understand the meaning of your sentences in the first instance without asking for clarifications.

2. Be realistic

While laying out plans and aims you need to be realistic. You have the right to dream the impossible, but while laying out in words, you need to be careful, as you will be held accountable for your words.
