② Listen and Do

a. W: I wonder what kind of job would be good for me.

M: Me too. I will be lonely if I work alone.

b. W: Which kind of job would you prefer, a service job or a creative job?

M: I’d rather have a creative job like a fashion designer.

W: I think it suits you. You have a good sense of fashion.

M: You’re interested in people and society.

W: Right. Each job needs different skills, though.

M: What do you mean?

W: If I become a reporter, I need to write, but if I want to be a social worker, I need to know how to take care of people.

M: So which do you prefer?

W: Maybe a reporter. I like to travel and talk to people, you know.

M: Yeah. That seems to fit you.

Into Your Life                    p. 174

Step 1 Listen and Take Notes

W: Hi. I’m your career coach, Linda. As you prepare for a career, it is good to select a role model. Your role model is someone who inspires you. Do you have a question?

M: Can your role model be someone you don’t know?

W: Let me see. Your role model could be a successful person you have heard about. However, it is also nice to have a role model that you know personally, such as a parent or a friend. When you see good qualities in your role model, you can imitate him or her. Having a role model helps you prepare for your career.

Strategy                          p. 175

M: What kind of job would you like to have in the future?

W: Let me think. I’d like to work with people.

M: Like a teacher or a social worker?

W: Hmm. Honestly, I haven’t decided yet. What about you?

M: I haven’t, either. I’m thinking about being an announcer or a reporter.

W: That might suit you. I can imagine you being on TV.

M: But you know, there might be other jobs that we haven’t thought of.

W: That’s true. Wait a minute, I heard there’s a job fair at the mall this weekend.

M: Great! That would be a good place to find out about different jobs.

W: Let’s go then. We can meet at the subway station on Saturday.

M: Good idea!

1. M: What do you want to be in the future, Jisu?

W: I’m not sure yet, but the career test says I am artistic.

M: Artistic! Great. Then what kind of art do you like?

W: Well, I don’t like music very much.

M: Then how about writing stories? Do you like writing?

W: I don’t think so, but I like to draw and paint pictures.

M: Then I can think of two jobs. Which one would you prefer, painter or fashion designer?
