Unit 1

Active reading (1)

Looking for a job after university? First, get off the sofa

Background information

About the passage: This is an article by an Education Correspondent, Alexandra Blair, published in

September XXXX in The Times, a long-established British quality newspaper. In Europe generally, and in

Britain in particular, for a number of years there has been a rising number of students who go to university

and therefore more new graduates seeking employment. However, for many graduates finding a job became

harder in XXXX–XXXX because the economic downturn – then a recession – meant that many employers werereducing their workforce. After their final exams, some students rested in the summer before looking for jobs

and then they found that it was difficult to find employment in their field or at the level they wanted. The

article addresses the problems of such new graduates who might be stuck at home and advises their parents

to be there for their children (ie to be available if their children want to talk about the problem or if they

need help). The article recommends finding work in a bar or supermarket rather than sitting unemployed

at home since this is more likely to lead to better employment later. The style is partly of a report, but also

of a humorous comment for light entertainment (seen in the jokey language and problem-solving advice to

parents).

Why finding a job in XXXX is so difficult for university graduates?

Universities in Europe, particularly in Britain, have expanded greatly in the last fifteen years (over 45% of

young adults now go on to higher education), so there are more graduates looking for jobs. This competitive

situation became a lot worse in XXXX onwards with the credit crunch and economic depression, which meant

that there were fewer jobs available and a rise in unemployment. Thus new graduates have to be active

to seek a job, they need to fill in many application forms and try

to get job interviews: they won’t f ind

employment by lying on the sofa at home.

Culture points

honours degree: Traditionally, in the British university system, BA and BSc honours degrees are awarded

in different categories: a first class degree (written using Roman numbers as I), a second (divided into two

subcategories, written as IIii and IIii, which are called “a two one” and “a two two”), a third (written III) and

a pass degree. Most people get a second. There are also ordinary degrees with more general courses of study

without these categories.

Generation Y and Grunt: The main idea here is that there is a succession of different generations or

cohorts of adults who come into the workforce in North America which are given different informal names

to characterize them. First, “Baby boomers” were born in the great increase (the boom) of births after World

War II (1946–1960), followed by “Generation X” people (born 1960–1980) who were said to bring new

attitudes of being independent, informal, entrepreneurial, and expected to get skills and have a career before

them. “GenerationY” or the “Millenial Generation” (born 1980s and 1990s and becoming adult in the new

millenium) are now making up an increasing percentage of the workforce; they are said to be spoilt by doting

parents, to have structured lives, to be used to teamwork and diverse people in a multicultural society. In

the passage, this generation is now becoming (morphing into) Generation Grunt, which is an ironic name

referring to repetitive, low status, routine or mindless work –this may be the only work available to some

graduates, who may have to take very ordinary jobs to get experience before they find something more

suitable. “Grunt” also refers to coarse behaviour or bad manners and to the deep sound that is made by a pig;

when pe ople “grunt” they express disgust but do not communicate with words – this may be how the parents

of new graduates think their children communicate with them!

A comprehensive refers to a British type of secondary school which became popular in the1960s. Before that

there were academic “grammar schools” and more general “secondary modern” schools for those who did

not pass the grammar school entrance tests, but the

comprehensive schools were designed for all students in

a social philosophy of bringing diverse students together whether they were academic or not. Those students

who went to a comprehensive school probably felt that had to study particularly hard (I worked my backside

off) to get to university, compared to those who went to grammar schools where all students were academic

–comprehensive students felt they had to struggle to get to university.

Chicken suit This refers to a large yellow costume that someone wears which makes the person look like a

giant chicken. Before he became a famous actor, Brad Pitt once dressed in such a costume when he had a job

advertising for a restaurant called El Pollo Loco (The Crazy Chicken’ in Spanish) – the job meant that he had

to walk around the streets like a chicken to attract customers to come to the restaurant.

Language points

1 Those memories of forking out thousands of pounds a year so that he could eat well and go to the

odd party, began to fade. Until now. (Para 1)

The parents paid a lot of money for their son’s university fees

and living expenses (so that he could eat

well) and for occasional social events – at graduation these memories of money were mostly forgotten

because the parents were proud. But now the parents are thinking of money again because the son doesn’t

have a job and doesn’t seem to be activel y seeking one.

2 This former scion of Generation Y has morphed overnight into a member of Generation Grunt.

(Para 2)

The distinguished son of Generation X (of the parents’ generation who worked hard, got jobs, and had

good careers and expected their son to do the same) has changed into a member of Generation Grunt – he

doesn’t seem to communicate much, lies around and doesn’t get a job (or can only do a low status routing

job).

3 I passed the exams, but at the interviews they accused me of being ‘too detached’ and talking in

language that was ‘too technocratic’, which I didn’t think possible, but obviously it is. (Para 5)

He passed the entrance exams for a government post, but he was criticized in the selection interviews:

They said he was detached (not personally involved) and too technocratic (he used the language of a

technical expert or high authority). As a new graduate he probably wanted to show his expertise in his

language so he can’t understand this criticism.

4 For the rest it is 9-to-

5 “chilling” b efore heading to the pub. (Para 6)

The others who do not have a routine low status job (like stacking goods on a supermarket shelf) chill out

all day (they spend their time casually relaxing –they don’t look for work) and go to pub for a drink in the

evening.

5 I went to a comprehensive and I worked my backside off to go to a good university …(Para 6)

He went to a school for students of all abilities (not to a special school for academic students) and so he

had to work very hard to enter a good university: Your backside means your bottom – the part of your

body that you sit on – to work your backside off is informal and it means you work very hard indeed.

6 … but having worked full-time since leaving school herself, she and her husband find it tricky to

advise him on how to proceed. (Para 7)

The mother has always had a full-time job (presumably the father is also working full-time), so she does

not have relevant personal experience. For her, it is tricky to give advice (difficult to do).

7 Carry on life as n ormal and don’t allow them to abuse your bank account or sap your reserve of

emotional energy. (Para 11)

The advice from Gael Lindenfield here is that parents should live as usual. They should neither let theirchildren spend the parents’ money unnecessaril y, nor let the problem take away all their energy and

emotions. Sap their reserve means use up their store of emotional energy.

8 After that the son or daughter needs to be nudged firmly back into the saddle. (Para 12)

Then the parents should gently push their children firmly so that they get back into control of their lives.

Reading and understanding

2 Choose the best answer to the questions. Teaching tips

Go over the correct answers with Ss and ask them to explain

why the other answers are wrong (See

below).

1 Why hasn’t Jack Goodwin got a job yet?

(a) He doesn’t have a very good degree.

(No, he has a 2:1 which is considered a good degree. )

(b) He refuses to apply for jobs with low salaries.

(He feels he should get a better job after studying at university.)

(c) It isn’t easy to get a job in the current financial climate. (This may be true but the passage does not mention this.) (d) He prefers to stay at home and help his family.

(No, he doesn’t seem to be helping his family: he watches TV and talks to friends.)

2 How does he spend a typical day?

(a) Doing a temporary job.

(No, some of his friends are working in temporary jobs but he doesn’t want to do this.)

(b) Watching television.

(He watches TV a lot.)

(c) Queuing up in the university careers service.

(No, he went there once but he didn’t want to queue so he walked away.)

(d) Preparing for the next job interview.

(No, he doesn’t seem to be preparing for interviews.)

3 How do most of his friends spend the day?

(a) They do nothing all day and go to the pub in the evening. (All except one of them do nothing except chill, then they go to the pub.)

(b) They do outdoor activities such as sailing.

(No, none of them seem to do outdoor activities; there is no mention of sailing.)

(c) They are forced to work by their parents.

(No, only one of them has been forced out to stack shelves by his parents; the others seem to be like

Jack.)

(d) They do part-time jobs such as working in a bar.

(No, the text mentions bar work but none of Jack’s friends seem to do this work.)

4 How are Jack’s parents helping him?

(a) By looking for jobs for him.

(No, Jack has tried to get a job himself; there’s nothing here about his parents helping him look for a

job.)

(b) By paying for a trip to South America.

(No, although he is going on a three-week trip to South America,

the passage does not say that

Jack’s parents have paid for this.)

(c) By gradually making him more financially aware. (The passage does not say so explicitly, but this is the implication about the cut-off point after the

trip when he may be expected to pay rent and contribute to the household bills.)

(d) By threatening to throw him out of the house.

(No, they haven’t threatened to do this, but they definitely want him to work after he gets back from

his trip.)

5 What does Ga el Lindenfield say about Jack’s parents?

(a) They have not really understood Jack’s problems.

(No, she doesn’t say this; she says they must balance being positive with not making life too

comfortable. This doesn’t mean they haven’t understood Jack’s problems.)

(b) They have made life too comfortable for Jack.

(No, she says they must balance comfort with being positive. This doesn’t necessarily mean that they

have already made life too comfortable for Jack.)

(c) The approach they have chosen is the right one.

(She says they have struck exactly the right note.)

(d) They need help from a psychologist.

(No, she doesn’t say this.)

6 What do Whoopi Goldberg, Bruce Willis and Brad Pitt have in common?

(a) They all did bar work before going to university.

(No, we do n’t know from the passage if any of them did this.) (b) They took part in protests against nuclear power plants. (No, we don’t know is any of them did this)

(c) They learnt to act by dressing up as giant chickens.

(No, only Brad Pitt did this.)

(d) They all did temporary jobs at one stage in their lives. (This is right, although they all had completely different temporary jobs.)

Dealing with unfamiliar words

3 Match the words in the box with their definitions.

1 to make progress by moving to the next stage in a series of actions or events (proceed)

2 the process of changing from one situation, form or state to another (transition)

3 not feeling involved with someone or something in a close or emotional way (detached)

4 referring to something which will happen soon (upcoming)

5 to be sitting still in a position that is not upright (slump)

6 to return to a previous state or way of behaving (revert)

7 to say what happened (recount)

4 Complete the paragraph with the correct form of the words in Activity 3.

It is n’t easy to make the (1) transition from a busy university student to an unemployed young adult

(2) slumped on a bar stool or half watching a mindless television show, wondering if and how their career

is going to (3) proceed. Many people who have experienced a long period of inactivity like this, when

(4) recounting how they felt at the time, refer to the same strange psychological effect. As the days pass,

they begin to feel (5) detached from any sense of pressure to go and look for a job, and tend to regard

(6) upcoming interviews as if they were not very important. Typically, back at home after three or four

years away, they (7) revert to old habits, start seeing old friends, and, in many cases, become dependent

again on their parents.

5 Replace the underlined words with the correct form of the words in the box. You may need to make

other changes.

1 I went to a mixed-ability secondary school just outside London. (comprehensive)

2 I got stopped by a policeman who asked to see my driving licence. (cop)

3 Have you seen this beautiful from the air view of Oxford? (aerial)

4 Isabel tightly her bag as she walked down the corridor towards the office. (clutched)

5 You should speak to Toby; he’s an supporter of flexible working hours. (advocate)

6 I hurt my leg bad ly a couple of months ago, and it still hasn’t got better completely. (healed)

6 Answer the questions about the words.

1 Is a dead-end job one with (a) exciting prospects, or (b) no future?

2 Is a tricky problem (a) difficult, or (b) easy to solve?

3 If an activity saps all your energy, do you feel (a) tired, or (b) more active than usual?

4 Does a pushy person try to (a) persuade you to do something you don’t want to, or (b) help you by

listening to what you have to say?

5 If you feel apathy, do you want to (a) change the world, or (b) stay at home and do nothing?

7 Answer the questions about the phrases.

1 Is fork out (a) a formal, or (b) an informal way of saying to pay for something?

2 If you are in the same boat as another person, are you (a) making the same journey together, or (b) in

the same difficult or unpleasant situation?

3 If you feel you have come full circle, do you (a) feel you are back where you started, or (b) feel a sense

of satisfaction because you have completed something?

4 If someone takes a soft line, do they deal with a person (a) in a kind and sympathetic way, or (b) in a

lazy way without making a decision?

5 If you strike the right note about something, are you expressing yourself (a) well, or (b) badly?

6 If you do something by all means, do you (a) try your best to do it, or (b) not care about it?

7 If you nudge someone back into the saddle, are you

encouraging them to (a) take responsibility again, or

(b) take it easy?

8 If you talk through a problem with someone, do you (a) examine it carefully and sensitively, or (b) refer

to it quickly and then change the subject?

Reading and interpreting

8 Answer the questions.

1 “Will he ever get a job?” Who is asking this question? What mood does it express?

The parents are asking this because the paragraph is addressed to parents (earlier it says “your graduate

son”). The mood seems to express patience or resignation because the word “ever” suggests that getting

a jo

b will take a long time.

2 Who describes Generation Y as “rebels without a cause”? Is it

a fair description?

This is the writer’s description to indicate that this generation is rebelling against parents or society,

but they have nothing particular to rebel against. This doesn’t seem very fair because the students are

trying to find work –it is just that they don’t like their parents

nagging them. So they are a bit rebellious

against their parents, but no more than that.

3 Jack “walked into the university careers service and straight back out again”. What does this suggest

about Ja ck’s character?

It suggests that Jack is not very determined. As soon as he saw the queue he left without waiting and

without trying to ask about jobs or careers.

4 Jack spent the summer “hiding”. Hiding from what? Why are quotation marks used?

Probably this means he was hiding from the world of work, staying at home and not looking for a job.

The quotation marks tell us that he wasn’t literally hiding, he just spent a lot of time at home.

5 How is Mrs Goodwin’s point of view affected by her own personal experience?

In one way her experience hasn’t affected her attitude: She left school and went immediately to a job

(without going to university) and has been working full-time since then and yet she is sympathetic and

takes a soft line.

6 How is Lindenfield’s point of view affected by her own

personal experience?

Her personal experience was that she worked in a bar before finding her first proper job as an aerial

photographic assistant. So she says such work is a great networking opportunity. If new graduates are

good at such work and bright, cheerful and polite, they will soon be promoted. Her personal experience

thus reflects – or perhaps has created – her point of view.

7 What would the first two paragraphs have focused on if they had been presented from the point of view

of the students rather than the parents?

The first two paragraphs would have focused on the need for the new graduates to rest for a bit after

their hard studies. It is OK for students to relax with the TV or to socialize with friends for a while, then

they can start a serious search for employment after that.

If you ask me

Background information

This is an informal and personalized account of an economics graduate who gets a job in a pub for a year and

then has an opportunity to be successful (a lucky break). She works in a London pub called “The Salisbury”

or “The Marquis Salisbury”, named after someone who was the British Prime Minister three times between

1885 and 1902 and whose family once owned the pub’s land. The 100 year old pub is in Leadenhall Street,

just off the Charing Cross Road and Leicester Square. Daytime customers can get a pub lunch and evening

customers include many office workers and theatre goers (the pub is near many West End theatres). The

interior of this pub is dazzling, with large mirrors, cut glass and a mahogany décor.

British pubs are often named after famous people (Robin Hood, The Duke of Wellington) or royalty (The

Queen’s Arms, the Prince of Wales) or historical symbols (The Rose and Crown to represent King Edward

III, The Royal Oak to represent King Charles II who once hid in a large oak tree). Other names often include

colours and animals (The Red Bull, The Black Horse, The Golden Lion, The Swan) or symbols of traditional

trades (The Compasses for carpenters, The Three Hammers for blacksmiths, The Three Tuns for winemakers).

As the pub is a social place to meet as well as a place to get a drink, people often play games like dominoes

or darts or join a quiz or competition. A common expression is to “go down the pub” or “go round to the

local” (both meaning to go to the local pub).

Culture points

pub in London: A pub is a place where people go for a drink and to meet friends and socialize. People can

play games – such as darts, cards, dominoes – in a pub and pubs often have quiz nights, with prizes for the

winners, and live music (See also Background information) The Salisbury is a well-known pub in central London (See also Background information)

London School of Economics is a distinguished university in central London, famous for social sciences.

1 If you ask me, real life is not all it’s cracked up to be. (Para 1)

In my opinion (If you ask me introduces an opinion), real life is not everything that people say it is. If a

thing is cracked up to be, people normally praise it but in the opinion of the speaker they are wrong.

3.Many products for sale seem to scream at us, "Buy me! Buy me!" Advertising is a big busin ess in our world with many products competing for our attention. Think of the last time you boug ht clothes. You probably noticed the variety of colors, patterns, fabrics and brands you could choo se from. Which kind of soft drink would you like to have today or what kind of computer do you want? Advertisers are skilled in the art of making their products look the best to appeal to our se nses. But products aren't always what they seem. Sometimes advertising is deceptive and as cons umers ,we must be careful about what we choose to buy. It is important to learn to compare prod ucts and identify our purpose in purchasing the things we need. But the good thing about advertising is that it helps people to make decisions and refine thei r choices. In the United States, the Ad Council creates timely public service messages to the nation. Th eir purpose is to raise awareness of public problems that citizens can respond to. Inspiring ads ca use individuals to take action and even save lives. Pollution in America, for example has been red uced over the years because of the creative Public Service advertisements that the council provid es" Please, please don't be a litter bug, 'cause every 'litter bit' hurts."
