UNIT 6 Me, Myself and my Future Job

1. Reading
Lesson 1, Reading (easier version)

A. Jewellery Designer I'm a jewellery designer. I take metal and expensive stones and make rings, necklaces, earrings and other jewellery. I can use many hand tools to make the jewellery. Sometimes, I may use computers and laser to design these fine pieces. When you work, it is necessary to look at every detail. It is also important to use your hands skilfully, to synchronize your eyes, to be patient and be careful in what you are doing. You must also know everything about art and fashion.	Β. Air Traffic Controller I'm an air traffic controller. My job is to direct the movement of aeroplanes, and make sure that they keep flying programmes. An air traffic controller takes care of every plane that is taking off or landing. I usually work forty-hour weeks. I may work night or weekend shifts. It is a very stressful job. Speech communication, mathematics, science, foreign languages, and electronics are helpful for this career.
C. Home Health Nurses I'm a home health nurse. I go to patients' homes to care for them. I also advise family members on how to take care of the patient who may need help for many different reasons. Some may be ill and some may be getting better from an accident. I spend a lot of time travelling to different places. I may visit many patients in one day. The time I spend with the patients depends on their needs.. It is important for nurses to like to help people, to be hard working, responsible, caring and cheerful. Classes in first aid, health sciences, home economics and diet are helpful for this career.	D. Hairdresser I'm a hairdresser. I cut and style hair using different tools such as scissors, razors, rollers, hot brushes and dryers. I can use gel, mousse, wax or spray. I may colour, perm or straighten hair using shampoos, conditioners, lotions etc. It is important for hairdressers to be creative, able to work quickly, hardworking and self-confident. Biology, chemistry, science courses and communication skills are helpful.
	E. Ecologists I'm an ecologist. Ecologists can work in a lab but also go out to the place where a plant grows or an animal lives and study them. I may do some work without taking any money, too. Next summer I'm travelling to the Amazon to study some kinds of plants there. Working in a team and working alone are good skills for someone who wants to be an ecologist. Good communication skills are also important. Useful subjects are biology, mathematics, and computer science.

With the harmony of "sky, earth and human beings," the emblem joins Chinese characters, calligraphy and the Paralympic spirit. It embodies the Paralympic motto of "Spirit in Motion" and shows the integration of heart, body and spirit in human beings - the core of the philosophy of Chinese culture.
