3. Transportation
4. Finance
5. service
❖ Tapescript
- Next, let’s look at some of the recent changes in the US job
market and see if we can make some predictions for future jobs.
A good way to begin is to look at the American workforce and
how it is changing. The most important change has been the shift from
manufacturing jobs to service jobs.
Manufacturing jobs are jobs in which people make something or
produce things. For example, people produce cars. Service jobs are those in
which workers provide service, or we may say, thery do something like washing
people’s cars. Generally, service jobs are grouped into five categories:
One: Transportation companies.
Two: Wholesale companies Three: Retail companies.
Four: Finance companies
Five : Personal servive, such as hotels, car repair,
accounting education and medicine.
Now the point here is that people have changed from
manufacturing jobs to service jobs. For example, one hundred years ago, 80% of
workers produced goods, today only 30% do. Economists predict that by the 2020,
nine out of every ten workers will supply service.
Task 2: Listen
again and decide whether the sentences are true (T) or false (F). (Nghe lại và
quyết định những câu nói đúng (T) hay sai (F).)
1. American workers have changed from manufacturing jobs to
service jobs.
2. Manufacturing jobs are jobs in which workers make
something.
3. Personal services are one of the five service jobs.
4. 70% of workers produced goods one hundred years ago.
5. 80% of workers will work in the service sector by the year
2020

❖ Tapescript
Children education is changing very rapidly today. In the
past, teachers made children sit still for hours. They made them memorize all
sorts of things. Today, many teachers wonder if it is not possible to make
children learn at all. They say they can only help them to discover things for
themselves. For some children, school is a kind of prison. They are at school
only because their parents make them go. They get out of the classroom as soon
as the teachers let them leave. Many of them want to find jobs but the law does
not let them work until they reach a certain age. And so, they have to stay in
school. Often they all hate every moment.

21 Kings' Street London NWS
August I5th 2011
Dear Sir / Madam.
With reference to your notice on the “University Bulletin”, I
would like to apply for the part-time job as a librarian at your university
during this summer holiday.
I am in the third year of a four-year degree course in
Business Administration at Bristol University. Last year I had to choose an
optional subject and I opted for “Public Relations” with special reference to
dealing with the public.
While in high school, I was appointed to be in charge of my
school library. Therefore I think I have got some experience in this field. In
addition, I passed the Certificate of Proficiency in English and the
Certificate of Computer Science last year.
As I am aware that a librarian in a university has to have
enough scope for his / her abilities of self-expression and of dealing with
people.
I, therefore, sincerely hope that you will give due
consideration to my case and let me know your decision at your earliest
convenience.
Yours faithfully.
