EF T1 L4 Final Review

Doing Something Different 1

After high school, some people continue their studies—but not always at a university. Here are interviews with two students who are doing something different.  Name: Maiko Abe Age: 20

School: The Culinary Institute of America, New York

Why did you choose this school? It’s one of the best culinary schools in the world.

What are your plans for the future? I’m in a two-year program. I’m just about to finish my first year. Classes end in two weeks. When I graduate next year, I can work in a restaurant or hotel. I can also write for food magazines or even do a cooking show on television (they’re really popular now). One of my friends from the institute now works for a company in Shanghai. The company imports chocolate from Belgium and Switzerland. He loves it!

One Man, 52 Jobs pt 1

After graduating from college, Sean Aiken knew he would need to find a job soon. The problem was that he wasn’t sure what kind of work he wanted to do. A

One night at the dinner table, his father encouraged him to do what he liked most. His father said he had worked his whole life doing a job he didn’t really enjoy. Although his job as an accountant supported the family, his father thought it was boring. Sean wanted a different future. That night, he promised himself that he would find something that he was passionate about, something he really had good strong feelings about. B

Multiple Choice

What advice did Sean’s father give to him?

• Be sure to choose work that you really enjoy doing.

• Work for the same company as he did.

• The most important thing is to earn a lot of money.

One Man, 52 Jobs pt 2

Aiken set a goal to work a new job each week for a year. That’s 52 occupations in one year. And he did it! One week, as a dairy farmer, he milked cows every morning. Then, in another week, he was an astronomer studying the night sky. Aiken’s favorite job, though, was teaching. He learned he was happiest when he was helping others. C

Aiken also learned that it’s OK to not know what you want to do right away. He wrote a book about his experiences, and today he tells his story to college and university students. His message? You’ll find your perfect job someday. After all, Aiken found his.
