READING

A. Complete the following sentences according to the text. (5 × 3 = 15 points)

Dream Job: Instagrammer

I was that girl on a study abroad program who was not only taking pictures of everything she ate, but
who was also stopping to get the perfect shot of the sunset or the street performers.

A few years ago, I decided to start the @jqlouise Instagram

account and the webpage https://jqlouise.com to explore my
interest in photography and travel writing. Only a few weeks in, I
found myself staying up until 1 or waking up at 5 to edit photos
and write blog posts. And I loved doing it. Taking pictures of
cityscapes, beaches and plates of food had become a passion.

As I worked on my writing and photography, I found more and

more job opportunities, and the fact that people have actually begun to pay me for my words and my
pictures, is a dream come true. I’ve worked with many of my favourite brands all over the world.

People ask me all the time: how have you developed your project? There is no trick, like any career,
“becoming a writer” or “becoming a photographer” doesn’t happen overnight. I work at it every day
(every hour actually; trust me, I’m on Instagram a lot). If you work hard, opportunities will find you.

When I was a little girl, I used to write down ideas on the school
bus ride home. I literally had a notebook filled with ideas for
poems, novels, articles, TV shows, and movies. Somewhere
along the way, through high school and college, I forgot about
those dreams. But thanks to Instagram, those childhood dreams
of becoming a writer came true and I am so grateful that I found
my passion and I get to work on it every day.

2017 was a crazy ride. But that little girl writing ideas in her notebook would be proud of me and just
thinking about that makes me smile. I can’t wait to see what 2018 has in store, but one thing I can
guarantee is that I’ll still be the one snapping pictures of my food.
J. Q. Louise, for TeenVogue Magazine (this text was written in American English)
