The first question we might ask is: What can you learn in college that will help you in
being an employee? The schools teach a (1)__________ many things of value to the
future accountant, doctor or electrician. Do they also teach anything of value to the
future employee? Yes, they teach the one thing that it is perhaps most valuable for the
future employee to know. But very few students bother to learn it. This basic is the
skill ability to organize and express ideas in writing and in speaking. This means that
your success as an employee will depend on your ability to communicate with people
and to (2)__________ your own thoughts and ideas to them so they will both
understand what you are driving at and be persuaded.

make other people understand your work as they do on the quality of the work itself.
Expressing one’s thoughts is one skill that the school can really teach. The foundations
for (4)__________ in expression have to be laid early: an interest in and an ear for

during your school years, you may never have an opportunity again.

while on holiday in exotic places. However, vlogs can also serve more ambitious
purposes. For instance, amateur film-makers who want to make a (4)________for
