Choosing your first job

In general, we will all spend about two-thirds of our life at work. This means that we will probably have different jobs over the years. However, our first experience of work is a very important one. If our first job is pleasant, we won't be worried about working. But if we have a job that makes us feel anxious or , we may think that work is something to dislike forever. For this reason, a person should think carefully before they for their first job.

For example, if you are the type of person who enjoys working outside and being very active, it would be silly to choose an occupation such as a receptionist. And let's face it, many people who start their first job are still teenagers with lots of energy. It's also important to work in a company you like your employer. There is nothing worse than having a boss that you don't like. But of course, you need to work hard and show that you are for them to trust you and know that you will do your job well.

Additionally, it's worth the learning opportunities that a first job can provide. Look for positions that offer training programs or mentorship, as these experiences can be invaluable for your professional development. Don't be afraid to ask questions during the interview process about growth opportunities and company culture. Remember that your first job doesn't have to be your dream job, but it should be a stepping stone that helps you build confidence and discover what you truly enjoy doing professionally.

Read the following passage and choose the correct answer to each of the questions.

Many people believe that learning ends when school does, but for others, education continues throughout life. We spoke to two adult learners who shared their experiences.

Helen, a nurse, decided to pursue further education to become a nurse practitioner. “I've wanted to widen my knowledge and skills,” she explains. “In my job, I encounter patients with complex health conditions daily, and I felt the need to do more for them.” Attending night school while balancing work and family wasn’t easy, but her determination kept her going. Helen found that learning new things not only boosted her confidence but also gave her more relevant skills for her career. She believes that continuous learning has helped her maintain her intelligence and stay ahead in her field.

John, on the other hand, is a businessman who took a creative writing course. “I always wondered about writing and storytelling,” he says. “I've wanted to see if I could acquire the skills to write something meaningful.” The course broadened his perspective and allowed him to see the world differently. It also gave him a break from the daily distractions of work. Through distance learning, John found that meeting people with diverse backgrounds enriched his experience even more. He believes that lifelong learning keeps the mind sharp and helps maintain a fresh outlook on life.

Both Helen and John agree that education can help prevent us from being imprisoned by routine. Whether it’s advancing your career, discovering a new passion, or simply staying informed, learning is valuable at any age. Their journeys through hardship and perseverance highlight the benefits of lifelong learning. Helen and John have some advice for other adult learners. Helen says, “Be patient with yourself. Learning takes time.” John says, “Start with a course that you find exciting. That way, you’ll be more motivated to learn.”

As the old saying goes, “You’re never too old to learn.”

The Northern Lights in Iceland

The most exciting holiday I’ve been on was a trip to Iceland with my family to see the Northern Lights, inspired by an amazing video I watched years ago. For that reason, , and now I finally had the chance.

I knew we might not be lucky enough to see the Northern Lights during our visit. , for one thing. But I also read that dark skies improve the chances, so going to Iceland during its long, dark winter seemed like a great idea, as there'd be very little sunlight. Temperatures could easily fall to well below zero, which would be difficult to cope with.

However, we weren't going to let any of that spoil our trip. Dad decided it was best to go far away from any cities and stay in the countryside. Anyway, after a long search, we found a hotel in a remote area with perfectly dark skies.

One night, we were lucky to see the incredible Northern Lights, and I even captured some videos. It was one of the most amazing experiences, with the added bonus of visiting a beautiful country.
