Reading and Thinking
WORKING OUT WHAT YOU WANT TO DO弄清楚你想做什么
As an adult, one of the first questions you are asked when meeting someone new is, "What do you do? " This is because your career is a very important part of who you are. The career you have defines your life, and so taking time to think about it is an essential exercise for young people.
作为一名成年人，你结识新朋友时首先被问及的问题之一是:“你是做什么工作的?”这是因为你的职业是你身份的一个重要组成部分。你所从事的职业决定了你的生活，所以花点时间来思考它，对年轻人来说是项至关重要的锻炼。
The best time to start thinking about possible careers is while you are still at school, before you make any choices about your further education. This however, is not always easy.
