LEADING IN
In years to come, I believe there will of course, still be traditional jobs such as doctors and lawyers, but there will be lots of new areas to work in as well. As far as I’m concerned, the bio-technology and green technology are growing all the time. Lots of traditional jobs such as factory jobs and routine office work, I think, will be done by AI.

TAPESCRIPTS
(K= Kristy M= Mr McDougall)
K: Good morning, Mr McDougall. My name's Kristy. l'm leaving school soon, and l am having difficulty choosing a university course that will lead to a good job in the future.
M: Hi Kristy. Well, it's good to look for a course that will help you get a job, but we can't predict exactly what the job trends of the future will be. A lot of routine office or factory jobs will most likely disappear and there'll be many new types of jobs in areas such as information technology, bio-technology and green technology.
TAPESCRIPTS
K: Wow. That means we need to get prepared with new skills and abilities.
M: Exactly.
K: Can you tell me more about these
M: Well, first, you need to have the ability to learn new skills. in the past, people were trained for one job and then stayed in it for their whole lives. In the future, people will probably have four or five different jobs over many years. So learning throughout life is the most important skill.
K: I see. What other skills will l need
TAPESCRIPTS
M: Well, using the internet, learning new IT skills and keeping up with technology developments will be very important. These will give you the tools you need to find work in the future.
K: And languages Do you think they will be important
M: A second language is certainly important now and will continue to be so. As work environments become more international and people travel around the world for work, understanding languages and cultures will help greatly in effective communication. Chinese, Spanish and Arabic are languages that are becoming more popular to learn.
TAPESCRIPTS
K: Interesting! Are there any other skills we will need that can be applied to different jobs
M: Yes, there are several important broad skills. Critical thinking is a key area to develop. This is the ability to consider and evaluate information rather than just learn and remember it.
K: l see.
M: Another important skill is creativity, As many old, routine jobs disappear or are done by Al, people will be required to do more creative work, coming up with new ideas and thinking about how to improve existing processes and activities.
K: Thanks very much, Mr McDougall. That's very helpful.

TAPESCRIPTS
(L=Lu Yan U=Uncle)
L: I think l should go to university and get a degree. That way !'ll be sure to get a job when l graduate.
U: Unless you have something specific you want to study, there are alternatives to going to university,. Going to university does not guarantee a job.
L: l'm not sure l agree with that. My parents say that a university degree is a guarantee of a good job.
U: Not necessarily. There is a great change going on in the world. Probably you will not stay in one job. Also, just think

about how Al is changing the job market. Don't spend a lot of time studying for something that Al will be able to do in the future.
L: Ah, that's a good point. l know Al will be doing a lot of the jobs people do now.

TAPESCRIPTS
U: Yes. l couldn't agree with you more. lt's already happening now and will happen even more in the future. People don't need to go into an office anymore—they can work from anywhere and be in touch with people all over the world. This means that business will be more international.
L: That's exciting. l suppose we have to continue learning all the time.
U: l agree with you there. That is so important. We also need to be flexible and be good communicators. That is vital.
TAPESCRIPTS
L: To sum it up, l suppose you could say we need to have good computer skills, be motivated, creative, hard-working, ready to learn and be able to communicate well!

SPEAK

experience
qualifications
SPEAK
Pair Work Which is more important, work experience or qualifications Discuss with your partner using expressions of agreeing and disagreeing.
A: When it comes to job hunting, which do you think is more important Experience or qualification
B: I think qualification is more important, because people who don’t have a qualification even can’t get a chance for an interview.
SPEAK
A: In my opinion, I think qualifications are more important. They can guarantee that I get a good job in the future.
B: To be honest, I’m not 100 percent sure about that. Qualifications can only demonstrate that you have passed some exams or obtained the relevant degree. It cannot ensure that you can get the job eventually.
A: That might be true in part, but I think without the qualifications, you can barely get a chance to enter the first-round interview for a decent job.
SPEAK
B: I agree with you there. The competition in the job market is really intense. Qualifications are definitely important, but work experience might be more important. Nowadays, most employers prefer to offer jobs to the people who are more experienced. You know, this can save them the time and energy to train the new employees.
SPEAK
A: Well, it depends. Some employers might choose the green hands. Without previous work experience, they might be more flexible and creative.
B: That’s a good point, but it is possible that people tend to follow the routine if they are experienced.
A: To sum it up, I suppose both work experience and qualifications are important.
B: I totally agree.
SPEAK
Discussion
“A university degree is a guarantee of a good job in the future.”
Do you agree with this viewpoint Why or why not
A university degree = a good job
SPEAK
Discussion
I’m not sure I agree with that. Of course, a university degree is very important, especially if you want to work in a prestigious company. It is kind of like a stepping stone to an offer of a job interview. However, whether you can get the job depends on your performance and potential to handle the work well. So, a university degree does not necessarily guarantee that you can get the job.
