Translate: I would like to be a doctor because I like helping people.
- I would like to be: je voudrais être.
- a doctor: médecin (no un).

Answer: Je voudrais être médecin parce que j'aime aider les gens.
No article with jobs: je voudrais être médecin. Je voudrais / j'aimerais / je veux + infinitive. Give a reason: c'est bien payé, j'aime aider les gens.
