Warming up by learning
about “job hunting”
Good
morning, class. Today we shall take Unit
2: A Job Worth Doing. But first we have
to find
a job, that is, to hunt a job.
hunting
is
the
act
of
looking
for
employment. It is also known as job
seeking.
The immediate goal of job
seeking is usually to
obtain a job
interview and ultimately a form of
employment.
The people in
the pictures on page 11 are doing jobs of
different types.
What are
you going to do in the future?
Now go
to page 12. Let’s read about an unusual job. The
man in the article
is working as a
traffic
light
or
traffic
signal.
Do
you
think
it
strange?
A
traffic
light
or
traffic
signal
is
a
signaling device
positioned at a road intersection or pedestrian
crossing to indicate when
it is safe to
drive, ride or walk, using a universal color code.
Yes, this man is working as a
signaling
device, not for money but for helping people.
▇
Before you
read
Please go over the word
list for this module, paying attention to the
pronunciation of the word, the
relationship between its pronunciation
and its spelling.
▇
While you
read
Cut/ the sentences into thought
groups,
blacken
the
predicates, underline the useful expressions
and darken the connectives.
▇
After you read
Copy
all
the
useful
expressions
into
your
Expression
Book
and
make
your
own
sentences
with
them.

Learning to read in English
1. Pay attention when you read and read
as if it really matters.
PAY ATTENTION
PAY ATTENTION
and
PAY ATTENTION.
2. Stop
talking to yourself when you read. People talk to
themselves in 2 ways, by:
vocalizing,
which is the actual moving of your lips as you
read, and
sub vocalizing,
which is talking to yourself in your head as you
silently read.
3. Read in thought
groups.
Try
to
read
in
phrases
of
three
or
four
words,
especially
in
complete
clauses
and
prepositional phrases.
4. Don't keep re-reading
the same phrases.
Poor
readers habitually read and re-read the same
phrase over and over again.
5. Vary your reading rate to suit the
difficulty and type of writing of the text.
Poor readers always read at
the same slow rate. An efficient reader speeds up
for easier
material and slows down for
the hard.

Reading more about “Kinds
of Jobs”
What kinds of jobs
do people do? Some that I have been interested in
at various times.
Artist
I include artists in all
media, including words, images, buildings, drama,
dance and more.
These people work with
ideas and emotions as they are expressed in some
kind of artifact,
so let it include
even the arts and crafts types who are usually
sneered at by fine artists. I
just
don't have the vision to be much of an artist,
although I have bursts of pretentiousness
Timoteo
stands
on
the
bend and directs the
traffic.
which make me want to be an artist of
some kind. What's annoying is that I will get an
idea
for a novel or a movie or a TV
show but then it won't crystallize, and then I get
bored with it.
At
the
moment
I
am
not
responding
very
well
to
art.
Something
about
abstraction
is
frustrating me, and it
has a destructive effect on trying to invent
imaginary worlds, events
and
characters. I've never been much for visual arts,
unless you count graphic arts.
Designer
A
person
who
blends
aesthetics
with
practical
production:
architectures,
graphic
artists
and print designers,
industrial designers and the like. Game designers,
too, I guess. This
is the sort of work
I am probably most suited to, but I have found
that because it needs
some kind
of practical impetus, it is difficult
to
come
up
with
projects independently, at
least for me. Also, I find that I have
trouble
suitable one. One design job
that used to really interest me, and which is
really obscure, is
typeface design. I
got pretty interested in it as a teenager, but I
just couldn't get into it full
time.
I
think
I
was
partly
discouraged
by
my
atrocious,
left-handed
penmanship.
I
am
always in awe of skilled calligraphers.
I used to spend hours and hours designing posters
or
just
drawing
words,
but
I
could
not
paint
them,
so
I
would
carefully
construct
the
outlines and then fill them in.
Technician
A
specialist in a technical field, usually related
to the production or operation of some kind
of specialized equipment. You get a lot
of job titles that include
engineers
--
those
are
technicians.
Audio
engineers,
for
example.
It
sounds
fancier.
I
would
make
a
great
technician,
because
it
requires
fairly
strict,
but
not
absolute,
conformance
to rules of the
domain.
Equipment operation
is readily
efficiency,
which
my
mechanical
mind
is
pretty
good
at.
However
I
have
not
acquired
much
in
the
way
of
technical
knowledge
in
my
life,
since
I
fear
the
dangers
of
obsolescence.
Information
technology
work
is
mostly
a
highfaluting
kind
of
technician
work, with a large base of theoretical
knowledge. It lends itself to the bureaucratic
mind,
which is something that many
people, myself included, find comforting. But it
also lends
itself to rigidness, which
is not something I see as positive.
