How to choose a career after high school! 
 Life after high school doesn't end. In fact, life begins once there are no more lockers, 
gym class, or teachers nagging you about homework. 
 In terms of choosing the right career, it is important to consider a career assessment 
test in which you answer a series of questions designed to analyse your strengths and 
weaknesses. While career tests should not be your main source of decision making you 
can use them as a tool to help you decide what career might match your interests. 
 Think about your interests and hobbies. If you enjoy science, you may want to apply to 
college and pursue a career in engineering or marine biology. Write a list of possible careers 
that match your interests and your capabilities. If you find you are happiest when you work 
with others, jot down that you are a team player. In that case, you may want to consider 
jobs that involve people interaction instead of careers like computer programming or writing, 
which require more alone time. Speak to an adult you trust about your ideas and be willing 
to receive feedback. 
Page | 16 
 Narrow your options and look for a career with growth opportunities. While it is 
important to pick a career that will stimulate your mind, it is also important to be practical 
about the job market. If you decide that you want to go to college, you will need to pick a 
career that enables you to make a living after you graduate. 
 Jump into the first step of realizing your career dreams. If you have decided that you 
would like to pursue a career that requires higher education, do your research on applying 
to the college or programme, including qualifications, application deadlines, tuition fees and 
length of study. If you have decided on a career that does not require higher education, 
start looking for ways to enter the field and gain experience. Speak to someone who already 
has your dream job. This person can provide a better picture of the pros and cons of the 
profession. 
36. Taking a career assessment helps you _______. 
 A. make the final decision B. answer a series of questions

VII)-Read the passage, and choose the correct answer A, B, C or D for each question. 
Lifelong Learning 
 Most people associate learning with formal education at school, college, university etc. 
We are all told, from an early age, that we should ‘get a good education'. Generally 
speaking, it is true that a formal education and the resulting qualifications are important. 
Education may maximise our potential to find better, more satisfying jobs, earn more and, 
perhaps, become more successful in our chosen career. 
 However, 'schooling' is only one type of learning. There are many other opportunities 
to further your knowledge and develop the skills you need throughout life. Knowledge can 
be acquired and skill sets developed anywhere - learning is unavoidable and happens all 
the time. However, lifelong learning is about creating and maintaining a positive attitude to 
learning both for personal and professional development. 
 Lifelong learners are self-motivated to learn and develop because they want to. 
Lifelong learning can enhance our understanding of the world around us, provide us with 
more and better opportunities and improve our quality of life 
 People learn for personal development and for professional development. There are 
many reasons why people learn for personal development. You may want to increase your 
knowledge or skills around a particular hobby or pastime that you enjoy. Perhaps you want 
to develop some entirely new skill that will in some way enhance your life - take a pottery 
or car mechanic course for example. Perhaps you want to research a medical condition or 
your ancestry.

 If you do find yourself unemployed, then use the time wisely. Learning something new 
can pay off with new opportunities which might not otherwise have arisen. While you are 
employed, take advantage of training, coaching or mentoring opportunities and work on 
your continuous professional development as you will likely become better at what you do 
and more indispensable to your current or future employer.

A. getting good qualifications to get decent jobs 
B. having adequate skills to develop our skills throughout life 
C. becoming more successful in our chosen career 
D. fostering our potential in order to get good and satisfying jobs 
37. The purpose of lifelong learning is ________. 
A. to improve our professional development 
B. to develop the skills that future jobs may require 
C. to be developed anywhere and happen all the time 
D. to maintain a positive attitude towards learning 
38. People learn for personal development because they want to ________. 
 A. know things related to their pastime B. become a mechanic or a pot maker 
 C. research medicine in their free time D. develop your skills to higher levels

 A. develop a new skill to go back to work
