Say which of the jobs above are - dangerous - need a university education - mostly done by men/women - prestigious - well paid - not very well paid#4 A. Read the text and say which advice you like best. Thinking of Your Career? Now you are not so far from the end of school. Have you made your choice of a career? If you have, are you working harder on the school subjects you are going to need in the future? Read what three successful professionals have to say about it. Jennifer Morrison (she is writing her third novel): In school I did well, but felt discouraged by the teachers. It all changed one summer, I felt that my school wasn't doing enough to educate me. At the same time I understood that I was responsible for my own education. My advice is don't wait for others to educate you, do it yourself. Also read as much as you canPatric Martin (he is a physician1): I didn't plan to be a doctor, but loved science. Later I found out that doctors also solve problems and rely on facts like scientists do, only they have to do it within a very short period of time. I like my work because I know that my decisions influence my patients' lives and I have to use my brain and hands every day. My advice to young people who made up their minds to study medicine is ask yourself why you want to be a doctor. If it is for the prestige or the money, find a different profession.Chris Wilson (he is a computer engineer in San Francisco): When I was a kid, I wanted to be a rock star because of all the success and admiration they get. I began to play the guitar at the age of nine and spent the next 20 years chasing я dream. I finished high school and toured with a band playing in clubs. As a day job I did telephone surveys for a computer company. Eventually the company employed me full time and let me learn on the job. I started to make real money and finally it occurred to me that maybe computers were more than a day job. At the age of 27 I gave up my rock star dreams because music had become nothing but a chore. My advice to young people is — you have freedom to sculpt your future but remember that there's no time to waste.B.

Mention what you wanted to do as a child if and when you changed your mind what or who helped you to make your choice what you expect of your future job what you see as advantages and disadvantages of your chosen careerТема №2Where to Go after School? #1 Listen to the dialogues then read and act them out. Make up a similar dialogue about your plans for the future career.A. К a t i e: I say Chris, have you made up your mind about what to do after school? Chris: I'm going to university. I hope to do sciences either in the University of London or somewhere else. London University is my first choice. And you? Have you decided? Katie: I'm still in two minds. I'd like to be a fashion designer or an interior decorator. I may go to one of the London art schools or maybe I'll stay at home, find a working place and try to learn on the job. Chris: I see. Well, who knows, we may meet in London in a couple of years.B. Jennifer: You know, Sam, I'm thinking of taking a medical course in the University of Manchester. Do you think I'll make it? S a m: I'm sure you will. You're at the top of the class in chemistry and biology. Jennifer: I hope you are right, Sam. How about you? Are you going to stay here or go some place? Sam: Maybe I'll stay and try to find a job in our department store where I'm working now part-time. I'd love to sell modern electronic devices like laptops, digital cameras or iPods. Jennifer: I know you're very good at computers and things. You can make a very good career in trading.#2 A . Read the text and put the following questions in the right places. "Am I a good leader?" "What am I good at?" "Will I be able to cope with a long period of study?" "What do I want from my career?" "Do I have social skills?" "Do I have enough physical strength?"Choosing a Career Choosing a career is not always easy and requires some serious thinking. The final decision should be yours although there are some factors which can influence it. You can be encouraged or discouraged by your parents, teachers or friends. The situation in the society may also have a certain influence on your choice. There are some important questions that you need to ask yourself if you don't want to make a mistake. The first is ( 1 ). This is not an easy question to answer at the age of 15 or 16 when you don't have enough experience. A good starting point is looking at what others do and getting a clear idea if it suits you. Then, naturally, you have to ask yourself ( 2 ). If you do well in maths and sciences, it may be worth thinking about engineering, air trafic control2, industrial laboratory work or .something in computing. If you are good at arts, think of jobs in graphic or industrial design, publishing, advertising or video. And if you like learning and using languages, you might consider being a translator, though it is always better to combine languages with marketing, business or some other profession. One more question to answer is ( 3 ). Do you get on well with people? If you do, you may think about nursing, social work or other caring jobs. You may consider jobs that require meeting people — a teacher, a shop assistant or a personnel1 manager. To do these jobs successfully you need such qualities as being cheerful, calm, patient and tolerant. Ask yourself ( 4 ). If you are, it is worth thinking of a job where you'll manage and organize other people. If you are considering a job connected with shifts work, travelling long distances or unsocial hours, for example working at night, ask yourself ( 5 ) . Some professions require a university education. Ask yourself ( 6 ) . If you want to become, for example, a doctor, a lawyer or a teacher, prepare for hard work as a student. Also remember that your success in these professions often depends on experience that you get on the job. So, to sum up, you need to think about what you are like, as well as what the job is like and what it may give you.B. Say what answers you can give to the questions before the text.#3 Find in the text synonyms and antonyms to these words and read out the sentences in which they are used.

When you go to fish-n-chips, they will ask you this question: open or wrapped? This is because British people eat their take away chips in paper.
