Practice 2:

Eleven students at Middlebury Junior High School returned this week from their trip to Hawaii. The students spent two weeks helping an environmental agency with their work. This agency, Environmental Ocean Life, works to preserve and protect the plants and animals that live in Hawaii’s waters. Every year, they test the water and check on the plants and animals to make sure they are doing well in their environments. The Middlebury Students joined them for two weeks to help them with their water tests.

The students reported that they had no idea how many different things could be tested. “We learned a lot," said Justin Lim, a seventh-grade student. “We learned how to measure salinity, which is how much salt is in the water. Some plants and animals need certain levels of salinity to stay alive.”

The agency thanked the students for their help by giving them the gift of a surfing lesson. “I never thought I’d be surfing in Hawaii," said Nancy Jones, another seventh-grade student. She was very grateful to Environmental Ocean Life. “Not only did they teach me and my classmates so much about the Pacific Ocean around Hawaii, but they also gave us a surfing lesson. They are so cool!"

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 28 to 34.

   In the last few decades, the world of work has dramatically changed how people earn their living and plan their work lives. This new labour market is evolving at accelerating speed as old industrial-age jobs are replaced by knowledge-based work and information technology continues to alter how we work, play and learn. This dramatic change in how goods and services are produced and distributed has been labelled the “New Economy.” The old economy was based on resources; the New Economy is based on knowledge and is driven by technology and information.

   Working in new ways: In this New Economy, new forms of work are being created, as employment in a “job-for-life” is replaced by a variety of “work alternatives.” These work alternatives can include working part time, contracting, consulting or owning a business where you hire your own employees.

   In British Columbia, more and more people are working in this way, and economists are predicting that this trend will continue in the future. Career counsellors are encouraging people to prepare for these work alternatives rather than for just a full-time job.

   New thinking for a new millennium: The New Economy demands that we change our thinking about the labour market. Traditional job patterns that we took for granted for most of the last century have disappeared. Letting go of the way things used to be in the world of work is one of the hardest challenges that career planners face today. Here are some trends that all workers will have to adapt to:

   Change: Rapid change will be constant in the workplace of the new millennium. Those who understand change and can manage it effectively will be more successful.

   Just-in-time training: In the information economy, it is impossible to leam everything you need to know ahead of time to do a job. Rapid learning will be commonplace. The advantage will go to those who can leam - and instruct - the fastest. Workers must commit to continuous learning throughout their life or work.

   Fusion: Job classifications and occupational titles will become less important. The jobs of the future will be hyphenated; in other words, there will be a fusion of titles like carpenter-architect, accountant-sales rep, or graphic designer-webmaster. Being able to combine a variety of skills to apply to a particular task will be increasingly important.

   Self-reliance: Work is becoming more “entrepreneurial” in the sense that workers have to be prepared for a variety of work alternatives and take the initiative to market their skills more creatively. As a result, people will need to be more responsible for their own career development. The notion of “career self-management” is emerging as a means not only of surviving in the New Economy, but also of thriving and making the best of its new opportunities.

   Emphasis on skills: Workers can no longer expect long-term job security, but they can rely on “skills security”. If workers keep their skills up-to-date and market them effectively in areas of the economy that are growing, they will be able to find work. An essential ingredient of career self-management is knowing and developing skill sets and then finding areas of work where they can be applied.

   Balance in life/work: Information technology is fuelling the accelerating pace of change. We are “plugged in” to work more than ever before through communications (e-mail, phone, fax, pagers, the Internet). To maintain their health and well-being, workers will have to rethink how and where they work and find balance between earning a living and living their lives.

   Finding opportunity. In this New Economy, it is beneficial for people to use their creativity to find new opportunities where they can apply their skills and abilities. This means keeping an open mind about where and how you work.

   The New Economy is very different from the old. It offers even more opportunities to find challenging, rewarding and satisfying work. If you spend time and energy planning for this new reality, you will be able to create a career plan that offers excitement, anticipation and hope for the future.

MY VILLAGE We are Khmer Krom, one of the biggest ethnic groups in the south of Viet Nam. We live by farming mostly rice and fishing on the Mekong River. Life is sometimes hard as our work depends heavily on the weather. When it is not harvest time, the men of the village go fishing from early morning and don t return until late afternoon. By the time they return, most of the village women will be waiting for them on the river bank. They wait to buy the fish, which they will later sell at the local market or bring to the nearby town for a higher price. We children will be there too. We love running around the beach and waiting for the boats to come in. Our most important festival of the year is the Chol Chnam Thmay, which celebrates the New Year. It falls mid April. Every family tries to prepare well for the festive activities. The community also visits and helps poor families so that everybody has a happy New Year. 1.What does the Khmer s work depend on 2.What do the men of the village do when it is not harvest time 3.Who will be waiting for the fishing boats to return at the end of a fishing day 4.When do the Khmer Krom celebrate New Year

Cũng giống như bất kỳ tổ chức nào, một gia đình cũng cần các quy tắc. Các quy tắc rất quan trọng bởi vì chúng giữ mọi thứ theo trật tự. Đối với một gia đình, các quy tắc là cần thiết như thực phẩm và quần áo. Các quy tắc rất quan trọng bởi vì chúng giữ hòa bình và trật tự trong gia đình. Ví dụ, trẻ nên tôn trọng và lắng nghe cha mẹ.

Nếu có những quyết định cần được đưa ra, ví dụ, không chỉ cha mẹ sẽ quyết định đặc biệt là nếu con cái đã trưởng thành. Sẽ tốt hơn nếu mọi người tham gia vào việc đưa ra quyết định của vấn đề quan trọng.

Các quy tắc là cần thiết để duy trì mối quan hệ hài hòa giữa các thành viên trong gia đình. Cha mẹ ở đó là trụ cột của gia đình và hướng dẫn con cái có trách nhiệm và thực hành các giá trị tốt.

Các quy tắc dạy trẻ trở nên có trách nhiệm hơn và có kỷ luật không chỉ ở nhà mà đặc biệt là bên ngoài gia đình. Khi có những quy tắc phải tuân theo, trẻ sẽ biết mình nên làm gì hay không nên làm gì. Các quy tắc giúp tránh xung đột và hiểu lầm có thể dẫn đến đánh nhau và gây hấn, đặc biệt là ở trẻ em. Cha mẹ nên đặt ra các quy tắc cho trẻ tuân theo để tránh cãi vã và đánh nhau. Có những lúc trẻ đánh đấu vì những vấn đề đơn giản và điều này xảy ra nếu cha mẹ không can thiệp nhưng khi cha mẹ đặt ra quy tắc và để con cái làm theo, sẽ có ít xung đột hơn.
