desks and expect things to stay the same.
Part 3

Jobs change over time mainly because technology improves and people’s needs change. For example, machines can now do some jobs that people used to do, and new jobs spring up for new things like space travel or virtual reality.
Think and share
Activity 4
2. Which comment do you most agree with Why
I most agree with JZhang00’s comment.
Because it reminds us that the world is changing fast, and we can’t just stay the same. We need to learn new things and be ready to change.
Learning to think
Read the comments and think about the reasons behind the people’s opinions. Then decide which comment you most agree with. Give a well-supported reply to it.
3. How can we keep up with the changing job market
We can keep up by learning new skills, staying curious about new technology, and trying different kinds of work when necessary.
1. Which jobs will soon be history, and which ones are on the way in
哪些工作即将成为历史, 哪些工作正在兴起
在这个句子中，ones是一个代词，指代的是 jobs。用ones
来避免在句子的后半部分重复使用jobs这个词。
例如:
① These books are cheaper than the ones we bought last year.
这些书比我们去年买的那些便宜。
② I like these chairs, but the ones by the window have good view.
我喜欢这些椅子，但是靠窗的那些视野好。

Write descriptions of a “job soon to be history” and a “job of the future”.
Step 1
Think about an old job soon to be history, and a new job of the future. Use the following chart for help.
What does the worker do
Why will the job disappear
The worker sells movie tickets in a cinema.
Because most people buy tickets online or from machines now. Cinemas don’t need many ticket sellers anymore.
Job soon to be history:
Movie ticket seller
Activity 5
Write descriptions of a “job soon to be history” and a “job of the future”.
Step 1
Think about an old job soon to be history, and a new job of the future. Use the following chart for help.
What will the worker do
Why will the job become common
The worker will fix robots and make sure they can work properly.
Because in the future, robots will be used in many places like malls, restaurants, and streets. More robot caretakers will be needed.
Job of the future:
Robot caretaker
Step 2
Write the job descriptions.
Our world is changing fast because of technology. Some old jobs will go away, and new jobs will appear. Here are two examples.
Cinemas don’t need many ticket sellers because most people buy tickets online. It means some new jobs will spring up. One new job is a robot caretaker. The worker will fix robots and make sure they can work properly. We will need these workers because
robots will be everywhere in the future.
Change is normal. We should learn new things to
get ready for new jobs. If we keep learning, we will
be ready for the new world.
Step 3
Exchange the job descriptions.
Did you mention all the points in the chart in Step 1
Did you use the words and expressions from the reading passage
Did you give your opinion about changing jobs
