Choosing the Right Career

For many students, choosing a career is the most important life decision they must make at school. However, choosing the right career is not that easy.【小题1】 If you take the following steps, you will have a good chance of finding a career that interests you for a long time.

Step One: Reflection

Before you decide upon a career, think about your interests and your talents. Ask yourself: What do I enjoy doing? What am I good at? 【小题2】

Step Two: Planning

【小题3】Read books describing different kinds of work, the typical qualifications (资格) required, and the typical salaries for various jobs. Also, talk to people already doing the jobs that interest you. And try out careers by taking internships (实习) or part-time jobs

Step Three: Selection

Consider what kind of personality you have and what your value is: What is really important to you? 【小题4】 If so, a job as a computer programmer may not be the best option. If you like the security of getting a monthly salary, then starting a business probably is not for you. And remember that you can always change your mind. Most people change jobs several times during their working life. 【小题5】Your first job right after college probably will not be your career 30 years from now. Be flexible and allow yourself to change if you are not satisfied with your chosen career.

Health and fitness help a person live a good and healthy life. Often due to various pressures, we tend to ignore our health. 【小题1】 It is the fitness level of our body that helps us fight these diseases.

【小题2】 We need to be fit to have a healthy body. Similarly, if we are healthy we shall naturally be attracted towards maintaining the fitness of our body. Health is the state of our body at a given time. We may not have any disease but still have a weak body, which is ready to be targeted by viruses. 【小题3】 This does not definitely mean that we are not healthy. It means the fitness level is not in accordance with our age and the climatic conditions we live in.

It is important for everyone to devote some time to health and fitness. 【小题4】 For instance, we must exercise daily regardless of our age and working style. There are different levels of exercises for different age groups and we must do them according to our own health and age.

Additionally, it is important to relax our body. We should have at least six to eight hours of sleep every day. It helps in improving our immune (免疫) system and protects us against diseases. 【小题5】 This, in turn, gives us new goals of health and fitness.

Can just one person make a difference? You bet! In a community every person counts, and getting involved is not difficult. Take stock of your own talents and interests. 【小题1】 Once you see what you can accomplish, you’ll want to keep going. Here are just a few ways to make a difference in your community.

Neighborhood cleanups are often sponsored by local businesses or schools. But if your community doesn’t have a cleanup program, get together with friends to organize one. You could pick up garbage in a larger area twice a year, or you could clean a smaller area every few months. 【小题2】.

【小题3】.

Do you know anyone who is housebound? Almost all neighborhoods have a few people who have to stay at their homes. These people are often elderly and unable to leave their homes to perform simple tasks. But they belong to the community, too. By letting them “borrow” your legs and eyes, you can make them feel included.

You can run errands for them like shopping or paying bills. They might like you to read to them if their eyesight is failing. 【小题4】 And that’s what communities are for!

Round up some readers.

Reading clubs are popular all over Europe and North America. Members might read at home to prepare for discussion, or they might read aloud to each other and talk about what they just read. 【小题5】.The clubs are a good way to welcome newcomers to the community, too.
