JOINING THE WORKFORCE
The world of work has been undergoing dramatic changes. Step by step, robots are taking over manual jobs
that used to be done by semi-skilled workers. Al assistants in the forms of holograms have been on trial at Changi
Airport and Boston Airport. Their performance as perfectly efficient check-in staff has amazed users. Certain
restaurants in South Korea have introduced tablets for self-order and have even made use of maid robots in place
of waiters and 10 waitresses. Getting a secure job or a career can't have been more challenging.
On leaving school, 18-year-olds are faced with one of the toughest decisions of their life: career choice. Which
to pursue requires sensible decision basing on their in-depth self-understanding. Guidance from school
counsellors and parents together with insights into their potentials from character tests will empower them to
make informed decisions. It is also worth noticing that, in this ever-advancing world, school-leavers need to be
well-prepared for changes and once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
However bewildering career choice may be, it is no more than the beginning of a person's career. To further it,
they have no alternative but to become better day by day. In essence, career development is a continual and

lifelong process in which they need to specify their goals, boost their own confidence, improve communication
skills, and expand personal networking. Actually, university graduation simply celebrates the completion of
adults' mainstream education, signifying their non-stop self-improvement.
Of all the qualities, a person's flexibility will work in this full-of-changes world. Flexibility manifests itself in
professional agility, problem-solving skills, change management and innovative thinking. As long as they are not
set in their way of thinking, they can easily get a task done.
AI has been replacing certain blue-collar workers, but it can never establish a role in a field that has 40
something to do with emotional intelligence (EQ). Automated learning machines can repeatedly lecture a subject,
but they can never become an inspiring story for students. Robots in hospitals can accurately perform operations,
but at no time can they comfort the lonely and suffering patients like a gentle nurse.
Technology has taken mankind to a world of constant change. School-leavers are expected to improve
themselves and own the right skills to meet the social demands.

E11: Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct
answer to each of the questions.
Becoming a truly great actor requires talent, hard work and hours of study. In Britain, the Royal Academy
of Dramatic Art (RADA) has trained and produced many of the country's most famous actors since it was
established in 1904, but just how does RADA turn passionate young hopefuls into respected professionals?

ĐĂNG BÁN DUY NHẤT BỞI VÕ MINH NHÍ VÀ NGUYỄN MINH PHÁT – 077 688 0714 – 0946 117 433 PAGE 9
 Nguyễn Minh Phát – Võ Minh Nhí - 0946 117 433 ĐỀ THI TN THPT

One of the methods RADA teaches is the Stanislavski acting technique. The technique was devised by the
famous Russian actor Konstantin Stanislavski in 1911, after he had been performing in theatres for over thirty
years. It requires actors to really live the role that they are playing. The actors not only have to learn the lines
that they have to say, but also recreate everything about the character's life.
But if modern audiences would be surprised to discover that students learn an acting technique that is over a
century old, they might be astonished to discover that they also study a form of theatre that has been around for
over two millennia: Greek tragedy. The Greeks used to study playwriting and acting and produced some
important theoretical works on the subject. Their ideas are still considered very relevant today and anybody who
wants to obtain a degree from RADA has to study them.
RADA students also spend many hours training their voices and learning to use their bodies to communicate in
the same way that a musician learns how to play an instrument. A RADA student's objective is to use their
creativity to transform written words into a three-dimensional character. Evidently, becoming an actor is a
serious business and definitely not for people who are only interested in fame.

E12: Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct
answer to each of the questions.
A career path is the sequence of jobs or positions that a person progresses through in their professional
journey. It serves as a roadmap, helping individuals set clear goals and take the necessary steps toward their
dream job. Some career paths follow a structured route within a company, while others are built through
personal ambition and skill development. Regardless of the industry, having a career path provides direction and
motivation for long-term success.
Planning a career path is essential because it allows individuals to prepare for future opportunities. By setting
career goals early, a person can identify the qualifications, experience, and skills needed for advancement. For
example, someone aiming to become a software engineer may start with an entry-level programming job, gain
experience, and later specialize in artificial intelligence or cybersecurity. Without a clear plan, career progress
may be slow and unstructured, making it harder to achieve professional aspirations.
There are various career paths based on skills and interests. Some individuals follow organizational career
paths, where they climb the corporate ladder in a structured way, often guided by a manager. Others
prefer personal career paths, which are built independently based on their passions and values. Additionally, some
careers focus on specialized knowledge (e.g., doctors, engineers), hands-on skills (e.g., chefs, mechanics),
entrepreneurship (starting a business), or freelancing (working independently on projects). Understanding these
options helps individuals choose the right approach for their professional growth.
To build a strong career path, individuals should start by assessing their interests, strengths, and long-term
goals. They should research job requirements, seek mentorship, and invest in continuous learning. Some key steps
include gaining experience through internships, obtaining relevant certifications, and networking with industry
professionals. Since career paths are not always linear, it is important to remain adaptable and open to new
opportunities. By taking proactive steps, individuals can achieve career satisfaction and long-term success in
their chosen fields.
