When we work, we must practise our skills constantly and continuously until we excel in what we do. Our rapidly changing workplace makes it necessary for us to keep up and develop new skills. Twenty years ago, positions in social technologies or energy efficiency did not even exist, and it is difficult to anticipate the new positions which will emerge twenty years from now. However, it is certain that no one can afford to be satisfied with the status quo. In order to better adapt ourselves to new circumstances, we must be ready and willing to acquire new skills. This can add to our sense of achievement and our knowledge that we are developing as individuals while we move along our chosen career path. Topic sentenceSupporting sentenceExplanationConcluding sentence Para 3Why does the author take the example of “twenty years ago” and “twenty years from now”?The author wants to tell us that our rapidly changing workplace makes it necessary for us to keep up and develop new skills. As a teacher , how can I keep up and develop new skills? Read Para. 4:Not only does work benefit us personally, it also contributes to the health of society. At the most basic level, different types of jobs are like gears in a machine. They work to ensure that the machine we call “society” functions properly. In a successful, stable and productive society, all jobs are equally important and no one is superior to another, so we should not have prejudice against any of them. Whether we are scientists, lawyers, doctors, public servants, consultants, clerks, receptionists or butchers, we all make our respective contributions. Moreover, there are people who choose to step out of their comfort zone and commit themselves to working for the benefit of others. For example, teachers in remote rural areas are devoted to changing the lives of the people with less access to the advantages enjoyed by many others. In this way, we work to advance our communities and bring success to our nation.
