Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct
answer to each of the questions from 31 to 35.
People commonly complain that they never have enough time to accomplish tasks. The hours and minutes
seem to slip away before many planned chores get done. According to time management experts, the main
reason for this is that most people fail to set priorities about what to do first. They get tied down by trivial,
time-consuming matters and never complete the important ones.
One simple solution often used by those at the top is to keep lists of tasks to be accomplished daily. These
lists order jobs from most essential to least essential and are checked regularly through the day to assess
progress. Not only is this an effective way to manage time, but also it serves to give individuals a muchdeserved sense of satisfaction over their achievements. People who do not keep lists often face the end of the
work day with uncertainty over the significance of their accomplishments, which over time can contribute to
serious problems in mental and physical health.

answer to each of the questions from 36 to 42.
There are many mistakes that people make when writing their resume (CV) or completing a job application.
Here are some of the most common and most serious.
The biggest problem is perhaps listing the duties for which you were responsible in a past position: all this
tells your potential employers is what you were supposed to do. They do not necessarily know the specific
skills you used in executing them, nor do they know what results you achieved - both of which are essential.
In short, they won't know if you were the best, the worst or just average in your position.
The more concrete information you can include, the better. As far as possible, provide measurements of
what you accomplished. If any innovations you introduced saved the organization money, how much did
they save? If you found a way of increasing productivity by what percentage did you increase it?
Writing what you are trying to achieve in life - your objective - is a waste of space. It tells the employer what
you are interested in. Do you really think that employers care what you want? No, they are interested in what
they want! Instead, use that space for a career summary. A good one is brief - three to four sentences long. A
good one will make the person reviewing your application want to read further.
Many resumes list "hard job-specific skills, almost to the exclusion of transferable, or "soft", skills.
However, your ability to negotiate effectively, for example, can be just as important as your technical skills.
All information you give should be relevant, so carefully consider the job for which you are applying. If you
are applying for a job that is somewhat different than your current job, it is up to you to draw a connection
for the resume reviewer, so that they will understand how your skills will fit in their organization. The person
who reviews your paperwork will not be a mind reader.
If you are modest about the skills you can offer, or the results you have achieved, a resume reader may take
what you write literally, and be left with a low opinion of your ability: you need to say exactly how good you
are. On the other hand, of course, never stretch the truth or lie.
Question 36. What topic does the passage mainly discuss?
A. The mistakes people make when applying for a job.
B. The way how to write the resume for job application.
C. The common way to make impression in a job interview.
