Exercise 1. Read and translate the text.
TEACHER’S PROFESSION.
Teaching is a very difficult job of great responsibility and most specific character. There is a wide variety of work in teaching. A good teacher is not only a communicator of knowledge but a model of competence. He forms attitudes to his subject and attitudes to learning, becoming himself a symbol of education process, a person who is learning as well as teaching. While communicating with children a teacher studies them closely to discover their interests, their strengths and weaknesses, their needs and abilities. Thus a good teacher always regards capacities his pupils have, trying to temper his teaching methods to children’s abilities and aptitudes. He builds his work upon what he learns about his children.
An environment should be created to stimulate children to develop their abilities and satisfy their interests. “Climate” of a classroom depends on the nature of personal relationships between a teacher and his pupils. These relationships should be founded on respect for a person. Thus a primary condition of creating a good atmosphere in class is that everybody in it respects everybody in it. Teacher’s authority will be ensured by respect of his pupils, because his knowledge and skill are greater and better coordinated and his thinking is at a higher level than that of his pupils. His commands are likely to be respected and obeyed then.
It is a purpose of education to liquidate ignorance. But it is also the function of education to help children to live in the community, to prepare them for real life situations. Social development is paid just as much attention to as intellectual development. School becomes a place of work and play, of living and learning. A teacher takes an active part in shaping of a child’s character, fostering honesty, kindness, loyalty, cooperation and respect for ideals.
Quintilian, the prominent Roman school master, wrote in his work published about 95 AD the following about a teacher and his work: “Let him adopt a parental attitude to his pupils. Let him be free from vice himself. Let him be strict but not austere, kind but not too familiar: for austerity will make him unpopular while familiarity breeds contempt. He must control his temper without shutting his eyes to faults requiring correction. His instruction must be free from affection, his industry great, his demands on class continuous, but not extravagant. He must be ready to answer questions. In praising the answers of his pupils he must be neither grudging nor over-generous. In correcting faults he must avoid sarcasm and above all abuse to discourage industry.”
Here is an exacting job, but those who are well equipped for it will have a happy and satisfying life.

THE CLASS TEACHER.
Exercise 1. Read the text.
Notes: omniscient – всеведущий
zest – живость, энергия
mature – зрелый, сформировавшийся
abreast – в ряд, не отставая, на уровне
The education of children in their formative years is a difficult and important task, which places a considerable burden of responsibility on the teacher. The qualities that have enabled teachers to carry out this responsibility are not easy to define.
Qualities of heart and head go together in making of a good teacher. Her whole attitude is optimistic and cheerful. She does not pretend to be omniscient, but is lively, keen and receptive, enjoying her work and sharing with her pupils their zest for new discoveries. The fact that her interests are far from wider than the school curriculum helps to make her interesting as a teacher. She can explain a difficult point clearly, knows many ways of presenting information, and is resourceful in creating situations in which the pupils make discoveries for themselves.
Out of her daily contacts with children comes the understanding on which the mature teacher relies. She is sympathetic, patient especially with slow pupils, and fair to all, avoiding any appearance of favourites. Her sympathy is genuine but unsentimental, she can be firm when the situation demands it.
Above all, the good teacher is alive to the possibility of improving the content and method of her teaching, and therefore keeps abreast of new developments, gives them adequate trial, and absorbs whatever elements are suited to her own situation. She herself is able through the discoveries which she makes in her classroom, to contribute to the body of knowledge upon which educational progress depends.
The influence of the successful teacher extends beyond her own classroom in yet another way – through the help which she is able to give to inexperienced colleagues who may at first find difficulty in translate educational theory into classroom practice. In return she is quick to appreciate the value of contacts with younger teachers trained in advanced methods.
Exercise 2. Suggest an alternative title.
Exercise 3. Give a rough summary of the text. In your summary answer the following questions:
1. Why does education place a great responsibility upon a teacher?
2. What makes a good teacher?
3. How far does the influence of the successful teacher extend?

STARTING A CAREER
Exercise 1. Read and translate the text
In many countries, businesses, the private sector, provide the majority of jobs. But one could also make a career in government or in the not-for-profit sector. Career is more than just a job. It is something that may include a lot of separate jobs. People, as a rule, move from job to job during their lifetime.
A career involves choices of occupation. There is work that we enjoy and feel good about. And there is work that we don't enjoy. Every career includes some work of both kinds. How much of each kind there is in your career depends very much on decisions that you yourself make.
Seeking work (particularly first job) that is interesting and rewarding requires effort and careful thought. What can help to make career choices? What makes people give up their jobs? How to take the first steps in starting a career? These questions are very often asked. Here are some hints that may be useful.
First you must assess your interests and abilities. Self-assessment is useful in helping you decide what to look for, what career to pursue. When you have a clear idea of the kind of work you would like to do and you are ready to look for a specific job, you should explore the labour market, visit job centres, talk to friends, read advertisements about vacancies. After that you must start writing and sending out resumes or CVs. Your resume not only sums up your experience and education but also advertises you to potential employers. Its purpose is to arouse employer's interest in you and thereby to gain an interview.
Employers want to hire people who fit the job; they want to fill the vacancies with competent people. If there is a personnel department in the company then the staff help to recruit a qualified applicant. Employers usually consider professional qualifications and personal characteristics. Preference is given to applicants who can maintain good relations, who have positive attitudes, who can work in a team and under pressure.
It is important for the resume to be good-looking and accurate.
Before writing your resume, ask yourself what an employer would want to know about you, what tasks you could perform, what kind of experience you have had, what skills you can offer and what job you expect the employer to give you.
Exercise 2. Complete the following sentences. Consult the text:
1. A career involves....
2. A person is ready to look for a specific job when... .
3. Self-assessment is useful in... .
4. Employers want to hire people who... .
5. A resume sums up... .
6. The purpose of one’s resume is to arouse... .
7. It is important for the resume to be ... .
8. Before writing your resume ask yourself what... .
9. There are many jobs in the financial systems, such as... .
10. Seeking job requires... .
Exercise 3. Give answers to the questions.
1. Where can young people make a career?
2. Do people change jobs, occupations and careers? What makes them do it?
3. How can one make the first steps in starting a career?
4. What should precede writing resumes?
5. What is the purpose of a resume?
6. What employees do employers want to hire?
7. What skills are appreciated by employers?

THE LABOUR MARKET
Exercise 1. Read the text.
One of the chief aims of education is to equip future citizens with all they require to take their place in adult society. The "place in society" is associated first of all with a well-paid job with good prospects. Now the labour market in Britain is highly competitive and it will remain competitive for the years to come. Big companies compete with each other to recruit best students offering them tempting salaries and "fringe benefits". Recruiting tactics of this kind have led to the "brain drain", the process by which highly skilled people offer their services to the highest bidder. And for as long as memory can stretch British students have been competing for jobs in this market. They start applying for jobs before they leave the university. Companies advertise their vacant positions inviting applications for the jobs. The company person nel managers go through the written applications deciding which of the applicants have the right qualifications for the post and prepare the so-called "short list". Short lists include about five or six applicants who look most promising and who will subsequently be interviewed. Only one of the applicants will succeed. That means that most applicants will be unsuccessful. British students have learned to live with failure, they do not lose heart, do not feel depressed and embarrassed. Let us imagine a third-year (i.e. final year) university student, Richard.
Richard is thinking about a career in administration. He would like to help to organize and run something but he isn't quite sure what. He is about to graduate with a degree in Economics, and he has taken a special computer course. Each day he reads the jobs section in one of the national papers. So far he has found twenty-five possible jobs. He writes off for an application form, reads the details about the job, fills in the form, includes a copy of his CV and a stamped addressed envelope and posts off the letter. Usually he has a brief reply, thanking him for the letter and saying that he has not been selected for the interview.
But one day he received a letter containing a request to go for an interview. Unfortunately he failed because one of the candidates selected for the interview had a better degree in Economics, he had also helped to run the student "shop" during his course, as a result he has practical experience in accounting and in handling people.
Having made twenty-five applications and having failed the interview, Richard starts his search again. Such an experience is completely typical for students who have just graduated in contemporary Britain.
Exercise 2. Answer the questions.
1. What is one of the chief aims of education?
2. Is the labour market in the UK influenced by big companies?
3. How do personnel managers choose applicants for interviews?
4. How do young people learn about job openings?
5. How do applicants know that they are not selected for interview?
6. Why did Richard fail the interview?
7. Did Richard lose his heart?
8. Is Richard an exception?
Exercise 3.
1) Describe the process of looking for a job by British students.
2) Give an example of such a process from the text.
3) Say how Russian students usually find their jobs.

Text 6
Exercise 1. Read the text, state the main idea of the text and headline it.
The greater part of promising students studying in industrialized countries does not return home upon graduation and stay on there. Besides, most intelligent people, especially scientists, wishing to make more money and improve their living and working conditions go to other countries.
Afro-Asian and Latin American countries as well as Central European countries in transition lose lots of skilled specialists annually. Western powers drawing numbers of specialists out of poorer countries benefit a lot. For example, in some years, the profits received by US corporations from the use of Third World experts exceeded their "aid for development". Russian students engaged in research at universities want to continue it upon graduation.
Text 7
EMPLOYMENT
Exercise 1. Read the text and give the gist of the article.
Britain has a lower level of unemployment than any other major European Union (EU) country. The total workforce is almost 30 million. Features of the labour market include the growing proportion of women in the workforce and increases in part-time and temporary employment among both women and men.
"Teleworking" — working from home using information technology - is also becoming more widespread, for example, in journalism, consultancy and computer programming.
About 3.3 million people are self-employed in Britain. The sectors with the highest concentrations of self-employed people are agriculture and con struction.
Britain now has one of the least regulated labour markets among the major industrialized nations. The aim of the government is to create an economic climate in which business can flourish. It is done by increasing the flexibility of the labour market, by removing regulations which have restricted job creation, by encouraging better training and by tax policy.
Exercise 2. Compare the situation with the situation in Russia.
Text 8
Exercise 1. Read the dialogue.
LOOKING FOR A JOB ABROAD
Foreigner: I hear your friend Mary has left for France. She's taken up a job there.
Russian: France? She can't have done that. I don't believe it. She is so shy.
F.: Neither did I when I heard it.
R.: I don't think I could ever do the same. If I went abroad I'd be homesick, I'd miss my family and friends.
F.: By the way, many British university graduates work abroad though the level of unemployment in Britain is low now and job creation is widely encouraged by the government. I, for one, will work in China soon.
R.: In China? But you don't speak Chinese, do you?
F.: No, I don't. English is spoken in Chinese international companies. I've got the company's invitation. Doesn't it sound fantastic?
R.: Sure, it does. And what about a work permit?
F.: The company that invited me to work in China has arranged for the work permit.
R.: How did you contact them?
F.: I turned to an employment agency in London. They sent my resume to China.
R.: The job counselling must have cost a lot of money.
F.: Yes, it did, but it's worth the expense. China is in transition to a market economy. It has experienced rapid economic growth lately. My work will probably be interesting. Have you found anything? Have you been invited to an interview?
R.: No, not yet. I want a good job, with opportunities for advancement, attractive fringe benefits and short trips.
F.: I see. You should have told me. Why not make another attempt and turn to my employment agency!
R.: Good idea, thank you, but I want to work in Russia.
