Activity 4 Read for main idea & structure
1. Figure out what this article mainly talks about.
The article mainly talks about how jobs and occupations will change in the future, and how to better adapt to the new job trends and become the boss of our own career.
Activity 4 Read for main idea & structure
2. Divide this article into several parts and summarise the main idea of each part.
Up till the 1980s, people in many countries regularly followed in their parents’ footsteps by working in the family business or joining the same profession as them. You’d follow your father to sea, onto the farm or into the workshop. You’d follow your mother into the kitchen or sewing room. /
Paragraph 1
In your grandparents’ time, there was the prospect of doing the same job from graduation until retirement. / How times have changed! Most people now have no intention of following in their parents’ footsteps or even staying at one job for very long. /
Part 1: “followed in their parents’ footsteps”
Part 2: “doing the same job”
Part 3: “have changed”
Key words of each part in paragraph 1:
The genre of the text:
Argumentation
In fact, planning to work in the same field or industry for your entire working life just isn’t practical anymore. One reason for this is technology. The skills you have now are unlikely to remain relevant and be enough to help you through your entire career. In fact, they will probably be out of date very soon.
Paragraph 2
And then what will you do Work hard Win the lottery Hope for the best You might be lucky. These strategies might bring you a nice, comfortable life: working at a job you like, earning a decent salary and retiring while you’re still young and healthy. But most of us today have to look beyond the little box called “career”.
Paragraph 2
be out of date: (adj.) old fashioned and no longer useful
过时了
lottery: A lottery is a type of gambling game in which people buy numbered tickets. Several numbers are then chosen, and the people who have those numbers on their tickets win a prize. 抽彩给奖法；碰运气的事
Paragraph 2 vocabulary
Paragraph 2 vocabulary
decent: of a good enough standard or quality
相当好的，像样的
e.g. a decent job, a decent place
retire: to stop doing your job, especially because you have reached a particular age or because you are ill/sick
e.g. She was forced to retire early from teaching because of ill health. （令）退职；（使）退休
If you think you can work eight hours a day and build a career, think again. You might be able to keep your job if you finish what you are asked to do, but this is hardly a recipe for greater career success. Instead, you’d better keep looking for smarter ways to do your work.
Paragraph 3
You’ll need to be a risk taker, an innovator, a problem solver, and a hard worker. Keep doing this, and you can become an expert or a specialist in something one day. You have a chance to choose to build a career, rather than being told to stay or to go.
Paragraph 3
Jobs and occupations come and go at an amazing pace these days. If you think you can’t be replaced by software, or your job can’t be outsourced to some robots on the moon, you are wrong. What if your job disappears after working for 10 years in the field
Paragraph 4
You may have to go back to the classroom and be retrained in order to qualify to work in another field. In fact, in all likelihood, you will have to do this multiple times. But you can be prepared for developments and changes before you’re thrown out of a career. It is entirely your choice to learn, or to be forced to learn.
Paragraph 4
In short, if you want to succeed in a 21st century career, you will have to develop new essential skills. Lifetime security from one employer is no longer certain or even likely. The truth is that you are the boss of your career, and it is up to you to decide what you can do and how well you can do it. Are you ready for this
Paragraph 5
outsource: to arrange for sb outside a company to do work or provide goods for that company 外包，外办
throw sb out: to force sb to leave a place 撵走，轰走
essential: completely necessary; extremely important in a particular situation or for a particular activity
极其重要的；最基本的

Top ten job roles in increasing: (prediction)
6. Information security analysts
7. Software and application developers
8. Internet of things specialists
9. Project managers
10. Database and network professionals
How should we face the job trends
AI is powerful and adaptable, but it can’t do everything that humans do. AI cannot create, conceptualize, do complex strategic planning, or undertake complex work that requires precise hand-eye coordination. AI cannot interact with humans “exactly like humans”, with empathy, human-human connection, and compassion.
How should we face the job trends
A new round of scientific, technological, and industrial revolutions are reshaping the world domain of innovation and global economic structure. The impact of science and technology on a country’s future and the people’s wellbeing has never been so profound as today.
How should we face the job trends
Therefore, we need to be a risk taker, an innovator, a problem solver, and a hard worker. And we are the boss of our career. It is up to us to decide what we can do and how well we can do it.

Activity 6 Recognising irony
What is irony
1. The amusing or strange aspect of a situation that is very different from what you expect.
(出乎意料的）奇异可笑之处；有讽刺意味的情况
2. The use of words that say the opposite of what you really mean, often as a joke and with a tone of voice that shows this. 反语，反话
Activity 6 Recognising irony
There are three types of irony in the literary genre.
1. Verbal irony (词语反语)
2. Situational irony (情境反语)
3. Dramatic irony (戏剧性反语)
1. Verbal irony
Verbal irony is when a character says something that is different from what they really mean or how they really feel. If the intent of the irony is to mock, it is known as sarcasm(讽刺；挖苦). Socratic irony (苏格拉底式反讽) is a type of verbal irony, where a person feigns ignorance in order to entice (诱使；引诱) someone else to make claims that can then be argued with.
Example of verbal irony:
Verbal irony would occur if a character walked out into a horrible blizzard (暴风雪) and said, “What nice weather we’re having!”
指说话人利用词汇、语法手段表示明显的反义，即用同本意相反的词语表达本意。
2. Situational irony
Situational irony occurs when there is a difference between what is expected to happen and what actually happens. For example, a fire station (消防站) burning down is a case of situational irony.
情境反语也称境遇反语或命运嘲弄，指的是结果与预料或期待相反的一种事态的发展。
Example of situational irony:
If a police officer was conducting a gun safety course and accidentally shot himself in the foot during the class, that would be situational irony.
3. Dramatic irony
Dramatic irony is when the audience knows more than the characters. The characters’ actions have a different meaning for them than they do for the audience, which creates tension (紧张气氛) and suspense (悬念). When used in tragedies (悲剧作品), dramatic irony is referred to as “tragic irony” (悲剧性反语).
Example of dramatic irony:
Shakespeare often made good use of irony in his literary works, and the ending of Romeo and Juliet is an embodiment (典型) of dramatic irony; the audience knows that both lovers are alive, but neither of the lovers knows that the other is still alive. Each character drinks their poison without knowing what the audience knows.
Activity 6 Recognising irony
Writers sometimes use irony (sarcasm (讽刺；嘲讽), exaggeration (夸张；夸大), and humour (幽默) ). We can infer that he/she is not serious and wants to draw the reader’s attention. Tick the sentences that show irony. Then discuss your answers.
Activity 6 Recognising irony
You might be lucky. These strategies might bring you a nice, comfortable life…
But most of us today have to look beyond the little box called “career”.
If you think you can work eight hours a day and build a career, think again.
If you think you can’t be replaced by software or your job can’t be outsourced to some robots on the moon, you are wrong.

How should we face the job trends
AI is powerful and adaptable, but it can’t do everything that humans do. AI cannot create, conceptualize, do complex strategic planning, or undertake complex work that requires precise hand-eye coordination. AI cannot interact with humans “exactly like humans”, with empathy, human-human connection, and compassion.
How should we face the job trends
A new round of scientific, technological, and industrial revolutions are reshaping the world domain of innovation and global economic structure. The impact of science and technology on a country’s future and the people’s wellbeing has never been so profound as today.
How should we face the job trends
Therefore, we need to be a risk taker, an innovator, a problem solver, and a hard worker. And we are the boss of our career. It is up to us to decide what we can do and how well we can do it.

Activity 6 Recognising irony
What is irony
1. The amusing or strange aspect of a situation that is very different from what you expect.
(出乎意料的）奇异可笑之处；有讽刺意味的情况
2. The use of words that say the opposite of what you really mean, often as a joke and with a tone of voice that shows this. 反语，反话
Activity 6 Recognising irony
There are three types of irony in the literary genre.
1. Verbal irony (词语反语)
2. Situational irony (情境反语)
3. Dramatic irony (戏剧性反语)
1. Verbal irony
Verbal irony is when a character says something that is different from what they really mean or how they really feel. If the intent of the irony is to mock, it is known as sarcasm(讽刺；挖苦). Socratic irony (苏格拉底式反讽) is a type of verbal irony, where a person feigns ignorance in order to entice (诱使；引诱) someone else to make claims that can then be argued with.
Example of verbal irony:
Verbal irony would occur if a character walked out into a horrible blizzard (暴风雪) and said, “What nice weather we’re having!”
指说话人利用词汇、语法手段表示明显的反义，即用同本意相反的词语表达本意。
2. Situational irony
Situational irony occurs when there is a difference between what is expected to happen and what actually happens. For example, a fire station (消防站) burning down is a case of situational irony.
情境反语也称境遇反语或命运嘲弄，指的是结果与预料或期待相反的一种事态的发展。
Example of situational irony:
If a police officer was conducting a gun safety course and accidentally shot himself in the foot during the class, that would be situational irony.
3. Dramatic irony
Dramatic irony is when the audience knows more than the characters. The characters’ actions have a different meaning for them than they do for the audience, which creates tension (紧张气氛) and suspense (悬念). When used in tragedies (悲剧作品), dramatic irony is referred to as “tragic irony” (悲剧性反语).
Example of dramatic irony:
Shakespeare often made good use of irony in his literary works, and the ending of Romeo and Juliet is an embodiment (典型) of dramatic irony; the audience knows that both lovers are alive, but neither of the lovers knows that the other is still alive. Each character drinks their poison without knowing what the audience knows.
Activity 6 Recognising irony
Writers sometimes use irony (sarcasm (讽刺；嘲讽), exaggeration (夸张；夸大), and humour (幽默) ). We can infer that he/she is not serious and wants to draw the reader’s attention. Tick the sentences that show irony. Then discuss your answers.
Activity 6 Recognising irony
You might be lucky. These strategies might bring you a nice, comfortable life…
But most of us today have to look beyond the little box called “career”.
If you think you can work eight hours a day and build a career, think again.
If you think you can’t be replaced by software or your job can’t be outsourced to some robots on the moon, you are wrong.
