(Đọc đoạn văn bên dưới và kiểm tra câu trả lời của bạn trong bài 5. Những công việc nào bạn nghỉ sẽ biến mất trong tương lai?)

A hundred years ago, every lift had an operator who stopped the lift at the different floors, and opened and closed the doors. That job no longer exists because lifts are now automatic. Which jobs that people do today will disappear because of technology? Most people book their holidays online. If this trend continues, travel agents will probably become unnecessary. Self-service check-outs at supermarkets are becoming very common, and so are automated toll booths on motorways. Many people now read the news online. If newspapers disappear entirely, we won't need newsagents. And what will happen if everyone learns online instead of in a classroom? Teachers might disappear!

2. Read the two texts. Which one is more positive about going to univeristy?

(Đọc hai văn bản. Đoạn văn nào tích cực hơn về việc học đại học?)

Is university education overvalued?

Eighteen-year-old American, Andrew Brackin, has received $100,000 to go and live in San Francisco and develop his own business. He plans to create a website that helps charities to raise money. The money comes from Peter Thiel, co-creator of PayPal. Every year, Thiel selects 20 students with the best business ideas. Andrew got to the final where he had to present his ideas to important business people from Silicon Valley. Thiel is an ex-student himself and he has strong views on university education. He feels that many young people overestimate the benefits of university education and undervalue the benefits of working in business. They apply for degree and postgraduate courses without thinking about how it will help them.

Benefits of going to university

Prospects

lf you have a university degree, you will generally be offered higher paid jobs. Furthermore, graduates have the option to fast-track their career with multiple graduate study schemes.

The best job in the world ... probably

A. Back in 2012, Andrew Johnson planned to apply to a film school after graduation, rather than look for a job. But then his dad noticed an advertisement for a job with toy manufacturer Lego. Andrew, who was already a Lego fan, sent in an application. It included a video of himself making models. The company loved it and invited him to participate in an unusual interview. He had to compete against seven other finalists in a model-building test. Andrew won. As a result, he was employed at Legoland Discovery Centre in lllinois as a Master Model Builder. “Lego was just a hobby, but now I can do what l love and get paid for it,” said Andrew happily in an interview.

B. Some film providers like Netflix employ people to watch new films and TV series, then ask them to make a note of what type of film it is (horror, rom-com, etc.), what age group and type of person might like it. The film provider can then recommend it to their members. Joe Mason finished his degree in film studies about two years ago and didn't know what to do next. Then he read an article about film taggers. The job was so fantastic, and he wrote to Netflix. At first, they weren't interested, but when Joe told them he speaks fluent French, they gave him a job. He watches French films and TV programmes. “lt's a great job because I can have flexible working hours," said he. The only problem with the job is that Joe can't choose what he wants to watch.

The Best Job In The World

What is a good job? Is it a job with a good salary? Not always. For some people, their salary is good, but their job is boring. And for other people, their salary isn’t good, but the job is easy. And some people are happy because their jobs are interesting. Let’s meet some people with great jobs.

Maritza Morales Casanova is Mexican and she’s from Merida. She’s a teacher, but there are no tables or chairs in her classroom because it’s a park. She says, “Empower children with information … and they will change the world.”

Jeff Kerby is a National Geographic photographer. Animals are difficult to photograph, so the job isn’t easy. Sometimes, the job is very difficult, but when you have a bad day, you look at the beautiful views and, Jeff says, “life isn’t so bad; in fact, it’s really interesting.”

Ross Donihue and Marty Schnure are mapmakers. For their job, they travel and they make digital maps of different parts of the world. One of their favorite places is Patagonia, in Argentina. Ross says, “I love Patagonia because no two days are the same. Every day is different.”

empower (v): give control to

1. Read about three famous British authors. What kind of books did they write?

(Đọc về ba tác giả nổi tiếng của Anh. Họ đã viết những loại sách gì?)

FAMOUS AUTHORS

Alan Alexander Milne was was born in 1882 in London, England. He wrote stories about a teddy called Winnie-the-Pooh in the 1920s. His son Christopher and his son's soft toys gave him the idea for the characters: Christopher Robin, Piglet, Kanga, Roo and others. Milne's Pooh stories: Winnie-the Pooh Corner quickly became children's classics in the UK and other countries. In 1927, A. A. Milne published Now We Are Six - a book of poems. After A. A. Milne died, a film studio bought the rights to the stories, so today there are picture books, films, and cartoon series about Pooh Bear.

Frances Hodgson Burnett wrote the well-known books Little Lord Fauntleroy, A Little Princess and Secret Garden between The born in 1916 in 1885 and 1911. She was born in

Cardiff, Wales, but Manchester, England in 1849, but she lived in America most of the time and she published her first stories in American magazines. The illustrations of Little Lord Fauntleroy's suit and white shirt started a fashion for boys. Today her first books aren't as popular as they were 100 years ago, but The Secret Garden is still a best-seller.

Roald Dahl was born in 1916 in Cardiff, Wales, but his parents were from Norway. He disliked school because some teachers were unkind. He probably remembered this in his books as others his good characters are children and his bad characters are often adults. His most well-known books are James and the Giant Peach, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, and Matilda. Roald Dahl often worked with a well-known British illustrator, Quentin Blake.

A

Jeff Haslam spends a lot of his time underground. He works in London’s sewers – the tunnels under the roads that carry away waste water … and other, much dirtier things! His job is to keep the sewers clear. ‘We work in teams of six,’ says Jeff. ‘It’s very dirty work. And of course we work in the dark.’ He has to wear special clothes, a mask and a helmet with a light. ‘The most difficult thing is clearing the fat and oil from the sewers under the Chinese and Indian restaurants,’ he says. ‘Last month we removed 1,000 tonnes of fat!’

B

Many people like to work outdoors, but few would like Charlie Radley’s job. Charlie lives in Alaska and works on a fishing boat. Each fishing trip lasts about a week. ‘It’s extremely cold and often stormy,’ says Charlie, ‘so we wear warm, waterproof clothes.’ Charlie can earn a lot of money if they catch a lot of fish, but if they don’t, he earns very little. ‘I’ll do this job for a year or two more,’ says Charlie, ‘then I’m going to look for another job – something warmer and drier!’

C

Sandy Smith is a lumberjack – somebody who cuts down trees. Sandy noticed an advertisement for lumberjacks on the internet. Lumberjacks work long hours and are not very well paid, but as Sandy likes to work outdoors, she decided to apply for the job. ‘It’s a very dangerous job,’ says Sandy. ‘We work with big, dangerous machines, and we’re always a long way from the nearest hospital – so I’m always very careful!’
