1. Future of Work: Three New Jobs You Need to Know       

2. Top Jobs of the Future

The most popular jobs around the world may not always be so popular. Some jobs will become very important in the future, while others may stop all together. Here are three jobs that I think will be very popular in the future.

One job that will become more popular is being an astronaut. I think we will want to travel to and explore faraway planets someday, in particular Mars. For this reason, we will need more astronauts.

Another job that I believe will become more important is being a scientist. In my opinion, we will need new kinds of medicines and vaccines to protect people from new illnesses. Because of this, being a scientist, mainly a medical scientist, will become more popular.

Virtual reality designers will also be a popular job, I believe we will spend a lot more time in virtual reality. We will do lots of things in it, especially practicing surgery, doing experiments, and having meetings. As a result, we will need more people to design these virtual spaces.

The world is changing, and so are the jobs we need people to do. Young people should think about this when they plan their future careers.

What will you do in the future?

(Bạn sẽ làm nghề gì trong tương lai?)

1. Listen and read.

(Nghe và đọc.)

Mi: Did you attend the career orientation session yesterday?

Nick: No, I didn't. I had to complete my project. How was it?

Mi: It was really informative. There were three guest speakers from vocational colleges. They introduced their job training courses for lower secondary leavers.

Nick: My teacher told us that if we didn't like academic subjects, we should apply for courses which would prepare us for a job such as mechanic, hairdresser, or garment worker. That way, we could start working and earn a living earlier.

Mi: My cousin did that. He learnt bartending after finishing grade 9. Now he's a skilful bartender and makes lots of money.

Nick: And you? What will you be in five years from now?

Mi: Well, I'll be studying at a teachers' college because I want to be a teacher. How about you?

Nick: I'll be a fashion designer.

Mi: You really want to be a fashion designer?

Nick: Yeah. My art teacher says I have such a good sense of style that I should get formal training in fashion design after high school.

Mi: Hope you'll achieve your dream.

Nick: Thanks. I think we should know our passions and abilities to make a good career choice.

An: I hope I can do this job as soon as possible. I've got hands-on training on how to use the scanner and calculator. I can do this job well because I have good basic maths skills. I'm patient and helpful to customers even when the store is busy.

2. how technology will affect jobs in the media

If you read articles about popular jobs in the future, you will see that new innovations will play an important role in almost every field, including the media business. Here is what we think you can expect to see in the future of entertainment and media jobs.

Virtual reality (VR) will be in everything. It is already common in video games, and some museums and amusement parks have virtual experiences. In the future, you can expect to attend a virtual concert or play virtual soccer. This means virtual reality designers will be a job of the future.

Personalized content will be the new normal. Newer technology will let producers know exactly what their audience wants. To do that, companies and producers will need lots of data. We expect to see more job opportunities in media for data scientists.

Everyone is a producer. We are already seeing it today: anyone can put content online, whether it is a podcast or video, and attract an audience. Technology will make this even easier. And as people start creating more professional content, the demand for good content writers and producers will rise.

The world of work in media will keep changing. Can you keep up?

Which Jobs Is Right for You?

You shouldn’t worry if you don’t know what job you want to have. Most young people feel the same way.

However, we have to get a job if we want to have enough money to buy things and support a family.

Thinking about these things could help you choose that job:

• Personality – Being happy in your job is very important. If you know what you like (or don’t like), you can understand which jobs are right for you. Don’t choose a job just because of the money.

• Working style – You might enjoy working on a large team or alone. If you know the way you like to work, it could help you decide which type of job will suit you.

• Working environment – Maybe you work best in an office, or maybe outside. If you have an understanding of where you work best, you can expect to find jobs with the right working environment for you.

• Career test – If you like the idea of someone giving you career advice, you could always take an online career test. These tests are free, convenient, and widely available. When you complete the test, a report tells you the most suitable jobs for you.

Người phụ nữ: Hãy kể cho tôi nghe về trải nghiệm đầy thử thách mà bạn đã trải qua.

Caro: Để tôi xem nào. Hmm... một trải nghiệm đầy thử thách trong cuộc đời tôi là khi tôi chạy đua 5km để làm từ thiện. Nó thật khó khăn, nhưng bổ ích.

MY DREAM JOB

Hello, readers! Today, the careers advisor at my school talked to my class about different jobs, and I was really interested in the job of a 3D printing technician. The careers advisor said that 3D printing technicians used 3D printers to make things. The reason I like this job is that I love technology. However, it’s not an easy job. 3D printing technicians need to be hard-working, patient and careful because they make objects that require high accuracy, like teeth, hearing aids and car parts. Moreover, they often have to work quickly and effectively, so they need to have problem-solving skills, time management skills and creativity. I am willing to do what it takes, though.

Hi, Polly! Andrew here. Your future job sounds interesting! My dream job is to be a video game developer. My school’s careers advisor said that the job was about designing and creating video games. I think it’s prefect for me because I love video games. It’s not just fun and games, though. Video games developers need to have strong IT skills and lots of creativity because they work with computers to create characters and stories for the games. They also need to be hard-working, flexible and punctual because game development projects often have tight deadlines.

2. Read the text again and decide if the statements (1-5) are R (right), W (wrong) or DS (doesn’t say).

Multitasking Skills

Multitasking skills are so common that everyone has them. However, some experts believe that multitasking is impossible (1) _______ we need to focus to do something well. Are your multitasking kills worth mentioning in a job interview or is it a waste of time?

Nowadays, employers want to hire people who can multitask because it (2) _______ money and time. These people can do lots of work in less time and for less cost. However, if you struggle with multitasking, don’t worry. There are some ways for you to (3) _______ these skills.

Hi Matt,
What are you going to do in the summer? I’m going to Greece. My uncle is starting an open air cinema this summer and I’m going to help sell tickets.

My flight is on the day after we finish school and I fly back to the UK on 30 August. I’m going to miss hanging out with my friends, but I won’t miss the British weather! I’ll send you a postcard from

Greece!
Bye for now,
