Work with a partner to discuss the following questions
Why would be your dream job and why?
Some people says there is not dream jobs because there are advantages
and disadvantages what do you think?
UNIT 1
TOPIC:JOBS AND PROFESSIONS
It is easy to remember information if you use into an outline.An outline separate main ideas in a clear way. An outline has key
word and phrases.Not complete sentences.
Part 2
First, health care. Almost half of the jobs on the list are in the field of health care. Uh,
medical assistants,physician assistants, physical therapyaides, dental hygienists—these
are just a few examples. According tothe U.S. Department of Labor,the number of health
care jobs will increase by almost three million in the next ten years. And why is that?
Simple. We’re going to need more medical services because people are living longer and
longer. Also,because of developments in medical technology, people with serious
illnesses are able to live much longer than they could in the past. And many of them
need a lot of special care and medical help. All right, now, getting back to the list, you can
see that there will be many new jobs related to computers. We’re going to need people
who can design and build computers, like engineers, but in addition, there will be lots of
jobs for people who manage and operate computers, like data base administrations. As
you know,computers are used in everything these days from rockets to coffee machines,
so it’s no surprise that the number of jobs in the computer industry is expected to grow
by almost 30 percent in the next ten years. Now let me explain the third category,
personal-care services.Some examples of jobs in this group are caterers, home-health
workers,and day care providers. One reason for the huge growth in this category is that
most women now work outsidethe home. So a lot of the work that women used to do in
the home, like cooking and taking care of small children, is now done by service workers.
OK, now while we’re looking at the list, there’s one more thing I’d like you to notice. Look
at all the jobs that have a salary rank of 1. OK? And what do you notice about
theeducational requirements for those jobs? That’s right. They all require at least a
Bachelor of Arts degree. So in conclusion, let me go back tothe two questions I
mentioned at the beginning of this talk. First, where will the good jobs be? We’ve seen
today that the areas of greatest growth will be in the fields of computers, health care,
and personal services. If you still haven’tdecided which career you want to follow, you
should think about getting a job in one of these fields.However, it’s important to
remember that many service jobs don’t pay very well. The best jobs all require a college
education. So the answer to the second question—how you can prepare yourself to get
a good job—the answer is simple. Go to college and get a degree. That’s the bottomline.

TOPIC:GLOBAL CONECTIONS
4.03 Take notes on the following text list the three cultures
they are talking about
1.In the U.S. there is kind of a general rule,which is that people stand about one arm’slength or
about 70 centimeters apart whenthey are talking. In contrast, Latin Americans usually stand much
closer to each other.
2In Arab cultures, for instance, you will alsonotice that men sit and stand very closeto each other.
On the other hand, in East Asia, people usually stand farther apart than Americans do.
3.Next let’s talk about eye contact, which isthe way people look at each other, or don’tlook at each
other, when they’re talking. Inthe U.S. the rules are simple. You shouldlook at a person’s eyes when
you speak withthem. To Americans this is a sign of respectand attention. If I’m talking to you in
classand you’re looking away from me, I mightthink you’re not listening to me. But theexact
opposite is true in many cultures. Insome parts of Africa and the Caribbean, forexample, children
are taught to look downwhen they’re talking to a person with greaterauthority, such as a parent or a
teacher.
4.Similarly, in Japan an employee would notmake direct eye contact with an employer. Itwould be
disrespectful.
5.The rules for touching are very differentfrom one culture to another. Some culturesare more
affectionate than others. So, inLatin cultures such as Mexico and Italy, it’snormal for strangers to
hug each other onhappy occasions. And it’s similar in France,where, maybe you know, everybody,
eventotal strangers, kiss each other as a formof greeting. But in Japan and many othercountries it is
not proper for strangers totouch each other, and even married peoplemay avoid touching in public
