can anyone explain how do i use kibou in a sentence. I wrote this sentence in
my assignment.

私は卒業したあと、やりたいと思う仕事を見つける事を希望しています。 My teacher corrected this sentence as

私は卒業したあと、やりたいと思う仕事を見つけたい。

I don't understand how should I use the word kibou in a sentence. What exactly
does kibou mean and in what situation should i use it.

question
meaning nuances
「希望」の使い方・意味、類似表現
Your attempt is grammatical, but I think your teacher thought it was
unnecessarily grandiose and stiff. (I think you already know the difference
between [wago-and-kango](/questions/tagged/wago-and-kango "show questions
tagged 'wago-and-kango'").) Although we see 希望 used in songs and documentary
videos all the time, 希望 is not a word we use on a regular basis. When you want
to say "I hope so" or such in a daily situation, usually you should use ～たい,
～たいと思う, ～(だ)といいですね, ～れば良いと思います, etc.

Still, you can use 希望 when you seriously declare your choice. It's perfectly
fine to say 私の将来の希望は教師になることです or 将来看護師になることを希望しています in an interview or such.
If you have a chance to [write a Japanese curriculum
vitae](https://blog.gaijinpot.com/write-japanese-resume/), you may see
本人希望記入欄. Japanese high school students often fill a form called 進路希望調査 to tell
teachers their intended future course.

answer
希望しています is a formal expression (ex. used in a job interview).

In a casual conversation, したい is natural.
