Career Preparation
Although you may think you are too young to worry about your future career, it is important that you start thinking about your life after high school right now so that you can take the steps necessary to any career you may choose. Some of these steps include choosing the right high school, enrolling in the necessary courses, earning good grades, getting work experience and building a resume. It can seem overwhelming trying to choose a career before you complete high school, but always keep in mind that it is never too late to change your career path and no one says you have to decide now.
There are lots of different factors that go into choosing a career path. To determine the occupation you want to enter, you need to consider your interests, how long you want to be in school, how much money you want to make, the type of work you want to do, the potential for job growth and job trends in the industry - sounds like a lot, but that is just the tip of the iceberg.
Each day you make many decisions - what to wear, who to hang out with, how to spend your time after school. Some of the decisions you make today can affect you for the rest of your life. Once you have figured out the things you like to do and the things you do well, you can begin exploring careers that include your interests and skills. Make a plan from the beginning, and once you have a plan, work the plan. Do the steps along the way each year to keep on track toward graduation and higher education.
You may consider a future career now because …………..
A. you have to decide it immediately
B. it is necessary to have preparations
C. you can change your career path

Tham khảo:
A: Hey, have you seen me burning some rubbish here?
(Này, bạn có thấy tôi đốt rác ở đây không?)
B: Yeah, I see that. But do you know that burning waste like that can be dangerous to people's health and the environment?
(Vâng, tôi hiểu rồi. Nhưng bạn có biết rằng việc đốt rác thải như vậy có thể gây nguy hiểm cho sức khỏe con người và môi trường?)
A: Really? How come?
(Thật á? Vì sao?)
B: When you burn waste like that, it releases harmful toxins into the air, which can cause respiratory problems and other health issues. It can also harm the environment and pollute the air and soil.
(Khi bạn đốt chất thải như vậy, nó sẽ giải phóng các chất độc hại vào không khí, có thể gây ra các vấn đề về hô hấp và các vấn đề sức khỏe khác. Nó cũng có thể gây hại cho môi trường và gây ô nhiễm không khí và đất.)

(Đừng lo lắng, tôi biết tôi đang làm gì.)
A: But even a small spark can start a big forest fire, which can be difficult to control and cause a lot of damage. It's also not safe for our health, as the smoke can cause respiratory problems.

B: I see your point. Maybe we should find a safer spot to make a fire or just use a portable stove instead.
(Tôi thấy quan điểm của bạn. Có lẽ chúng ta nên tìm một nơi an toàn hơn để đốt lửa hoặc chỉ sử dụng bếp di động để thay thế.)
A: Yes, that's a better idea. We can enjoy our time outdoors without putting ourselves and the environment at risk.
(Vâng, đó là một ý tưởng tốt hơn. Chúng ta có thể tận hưởng thời gian ở ngoài trời mà không gây nguy hiểm cho bản thân và môi trường.)

Decklen
I see myself finishing university first. Then I'm going to get a good job, settle down and have a family. Can't wait!

That's what I think! I don’t want a good job. I want to have fun. I'll take up a sport like karate or skydiving and enjoy myself. In two years, I hope that I'll be doing my black belt, and I'll be happy.

Me, too! I'm going to travel around Australia and teach myself to surf.
Marcus
Where are you going to earn money to get to Australia?
