Unit 16 Finding Jobs背景知识What should you consider in finding jobsWhat should you think about in trying to find your career? You are probably better at some school subjects than others. These may show strength that you can use in your work. A boy who is good at mathematics can use that in an engineering career. A girl who spells well and likes English may be good at office work. So it is important to know the subjects you do well in at school. On the other hand, you may not have any specially strong or weak subjects but your records show a generally satisfactory standard. Although not all subjects can be used directly in a job, they may have indirect value. A knowledge of history is not required for most jobs, but if history is one of your good subjects you will have learned to remember facts and details. This is an ability that can be useful in many jobs.Your school may have taught you skills, such as typing or technical drawing, which you can use in your work. You may be good at metal work or cookery and look for a job where you can improve these skills.If you have had a part-time job on Saturdays or in summer, think what you gained from itIf nothing else, you may have learned how to get to work on time, to follow instructions and to get on with older workers. You may have learned to give correct change in a shop, for example. Just as important, you may become interested in a particular industry or career you see from the inside in apart time job.Facing your weak points is also part of knowing yourself. You may be all thumbs (笨手笨脚) when you handle tools; perhaps you are a poor speller or cannot add up a column of figures. It is better to face any weaknesses they do not exist. Your school record, for instance, may not be too good, yet it is an important part of your background. You should not be apologetic about it but instead recognize that you will have a chance of a fresh start at work.Word study:1in touch with 保持联系,了解keep in track/touch/contact withlose touch withmake contact with contact sb.

Find evidence in the text to support your answer. Evidence in the text:Trainee footballers: It is not an easy life. There is a lot of competition for places on the team, the salary is low and the job includes cleaning the changing rooms, toilets and senior colleagues boots. (Para6)Despite talent, only a few players are good enough to become professional: Professional footballers have to be very, very good, and to play for a leading club they must be outstanding. Only a few trainees are good enough to go on to the next stage. (Para5and 7)Even once professional, only a very few players are truly successful: Perhaps, like Becks, one or two become great stars. However, football is a fiercely competitive occupation and many players are not successful. They have to leave the profession to find other careers. (Para7)A career in football is a dream that few people can achieve. Most are not successful and fail: Davids story has a happy ending, but most children with the same wish will never have the opportunity to wear their favourite teams shirt. Many of them will only play as an amateur footballer in their spare time. Unfortunately football dreams dont often come true. (Para8)Analysis of some difficult sentences:1. Every time he plays football he is watched by thousands of adoring Becks fans all over the world. 2. Professional footballers have to be very, very good, and to play for a leading club they must be outstanding.3. Top players must have excellent ball control and understand how to use the space on the pitch, but it is not just what they do with their feet that counts.4. Many countries have set up programmes to encourage and develop young footballers, and this is where the clubs go to assess athletes and find stars of the future. 5. China has special football schools (where children acquire ball skills as well as a formal education.)6. From this point on the success of their career and how much they earn depends on their performances and how many matches their team wins.Language points for Reading 1. take off 起飞； 脱下，摘下，迅速流行，换下，终止，取消； 休假，休息，剪掉，切除（人体）；模仿The plane took off an hour late. 飞机起飞晚了一小时。 Her singing career took off after her TV appearance. 她在电视上亮相后歌唱事业迅速起飞。 Ive decided to take a few days off next week. 我已经决定下周休息几天。 The show was taken off because of poor audience figures. 该剧因不卖座而停演了。 2. accomplish 完成，达到，实现accomplish, finish, complete 区别1） accomplish经常接task, aim, journey, voyage 等名词。 如：The explorers accomplished the voyage in five weeks. 探险队在五周内完成了航程。 The first part of the plan has been safely accomplished. 计划的第一部分已顺利完成。 2) complete比accomplish具体， 可接简化组，工程，书籍等名词。 指“按预期目的把未完成的工作经进一步的努力使之完成”， 主要涵义是“补足缺少的部分”。 如：The building will be completed by the end of this month. 这座楼将于本月底完成。 3) finish 在许多情况下可与complete 换用， 但不及complete 正式。 常含有“认真仔细地完成工作的最后阶段的精工修饰，使之完美”的意思。 如I have to finish writing the book by this weekend. 我得在本周末写完这本书。 3. dream of becoming a leading scientist.
