Mai: Hi, Jim. How're things? You look very busy!
Jim: Oh, I'm surfing the net. I'm trying to find out what options are available for school leavers.
Mai: So what do you want to do after you finish secondary school?
Jim: Hmm.... I don't know, so I'm searching for websites offering career advice so that I can come up
with a plan.
Mai: Do you plan to go straight to university or join the workforce without pursuing further study?
Jim: Well, I want to go straight to university, but I'm also thinking of applying for a temporary job in the
summer.
Mai: What kind of job are you looking for?
Jim: I'm looking for work in marketing companies. I'd love to do smartphone marketing.
Mai: I see. You want to gain work experience, and save up some money for university.
Jim: Exactly. I've secured a university place to study economics. And how about you? What kind of
career are you looking for, Mai?
Mai: Well, I'd love to work in a hospital. I want to become a doctor.
Jim: Then you'll have to study medicine.
Mai: Right. And I want to go to a medical university in the UK. You know, I took the IELTS two weeks
ago, and I'm looking forward to the exam results from The English Language Centre at the British
Council.
Jim: Great! Have you been in touch with The English Language Centre?
Mai: Yes, I have. They said they would send me the results next week. If I get a band score of 6.5, I'll
apply for a scholarship and study in the UK.
Jim: Good luck! And remember to practise your English more often.
Mai: Thanks a lot. I'll try my best to. I want to speak English as fluently as you.

a. For those going to university

c. For those going to be apprentices
d. For those going to be apprentices d. For those about to start a job
In the UK, there are some websites that provide school students with practical advice about leaving

school and taking the next step in their careers. The following are some examples:
1.____________________
If students are about to start a job, career advisers have useful information that may help them make the
transition into the working world smoother. They should get used to taking responsibility if something
goes wrong in their job. By taking responsibility, they will have the opportunity to learn how to put
things right and they can avoid making the same mistakes in the future.
2. _________________
In general, apprentices are assigned to a senior member of staff to spend some time shadowing them and
getting to grips with the basics of the job. If apprentices are given the opportunity to get involved early
on, they should take it, as this will help them learn faster and improve their confidence. The best thing
for apprentices is that they have the opportunity to earn while they learn, and most apprentices are
required to attend college for part of the time.


VnDoc - Tải tài liệu, văn bản pháp luật, biểu mẫu miễn phí
3. _________________
Moving straight to tertiary education from secondary school is considered a big jump. However, many
students take to university life like a duck to water. Normally, the first week at university is a bit
confusing, even a little stressful, but it does not take long to get
used to university life. During the first week, students have their timetables and other paperwork sorted.
After that they can relax and take in the campus atmosphere.
4._________________
When students do not know what they want to do after leaving school, they could consider some other
options, which the advisers can offer. They can find a temporary job, or take a gap year and go travelling;
they may work somewhere abroad, or speak to career advisers who can help them come up with a plan.
If none of these options are successful, students should go back to school. They can still be accepted on
to A level courses if they have GCSEs.

Interviewer: So, what kind of career are you looking for, Tom?
Tom: I think working as a TV journalist would be a fascinating job. You would do interviews with so
many famous people, such as politicians, movie stars, authors, and actors.
Interviewer: Do you think there would be any downsides to the job?
Tom: Well, being a TV journalist could be difficult at times. You could have to go into dangerous
situations, for example, like forest fires or battles in warzones.
Interviewer: I agree. How about you, Alice? What career would you choose?
Alice: I want to be a flight attendant. It could be an interesting job.
I would really enjoy meeting people from many different countries. And I think flight attendants are
well paid.
Interviewer: It's a very demanding job. Don't you think so?
Alice: Yes, you may have to work long hours on long haul flights and not get enough sleep. Travelling
all the time could have a negative effect on your health. Being stuck in an aircraft and breathing dirty air
is not very healthy.
Interviewer Yes, I agree. Now, Mark, what career would you like to pursue?
Mark:Well, I'd like to be a medical researcher. I think that doing medical research would be really
rewarding.
Interviewer: So what are some positive points about the job?
Mark: This job would help save people's lives. You could make a great medical discovery, such as a new

drug that can cure or prevent deadly diseases.
Interviewer: Sure, but not everyone is lucky enough to discover new things. You could end up doing
tedious experiments and writing long reports.
Mark: Well, doing research may take time and you may not see immediate results. But I still believe in
the good things that medical research can bring to people.
Interviewer: All right. Thank you all for coming to the interview, and I wish you good luck in your
future careers.

1. Read the text about a year out and answer the questions that follow.
Tom has just finished his A levels and he has got a place at university, but he would really like a break
from the academic world. Like many young people today he's thinking about taking a year out first, or as
people often say, spending a year at ‘the university of life’.
There are lots of things for Tom to choose from. He could work in a bank or do community work. He
might even do something adventurous, such as joining an expedition to a rainforest. The experience will
broaden his horizons and teach him new skills. It may also give him the chance to earn some money,

which will be very helpful when he eventually starts his studies.
Before Tom decides to take a gap year, he must make sure that the university will hold his place for him
till the following year. Most are quite happy to do this, as they find that year-out students are more
mature, confident, and independent. But each student should know that it is a year out, not a year off.
His university will want to know what he is going to do. They will not be very pleased if he just wants to
do nothing for a year.
