Session 5
Look at the following people's profiles and possible jobs. Which is the most suitable option for each? Check with a classmate. Then, discuss if any of those options would suit you and why/why not.
So, as you can see, in this session we'll discuss jobs.
Look at the ideas and phrase used in the sample below:
I'd like to have a job in which I can do a lot of research. I imagine being able of spending afternoons going through all the texts and articles I've found over the years about interesting topics that currently I'm not able to read because I have too little time. Though many people may think that doing research is stressful or boring, for me it would be the ideal job, because it involves observing, analysing and drawing conclusions, and I enjoy doing all those (boring? XD) things. The ideal place for doing this would be a library, but I can work anywhere that is quiet and that has a comfortable,big desk to lay all the books and materials around! (cat space required too, please!) However, it could also be outdoors if it is for example in a quiet park or something similar. The problem there would be that I'd possibly need internet eventually...so maybe indoors is a better choice. Also, tea is best drunk inside, isn't it?
Do you think there might be a place in the world where I can get paid for studying and doing research on what I like the most? XD
Now it's your turn: Write a text following the questions below. Use connectors and a variety of tenses, and in case you have doubts ask me or check a reliable dictionary or website ( do not trust the translator!!)

Travelling wouldn't be part of the picture, unless we're talking
about holidays and this is about a job! hehehe...But seriously, in my case, as
I've already majored in English Linguistics, if I travelled it would have to be
to continue perfecting in my area, to do a Phd, which could be in something
related to Discourse Analysis or Pragmatics, because these are the areas of language that I've devoted myself the most.
