Group Work Think and share. (Ex5)
1. Why does the writer think the “new boss” is “you”
The author stated clearly at the end: If you want to succeed in the 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. This means that you are responsible for your future.

Recognising Irony
Writers sometimes use irony (sarcasm, exaggeration and humour). We can infer that he / she is not serious and wants to draw the readers’ attention.
e.g.:
Work hard
Win the lottery
Hope for the best
Skill Builder
Pair Work Tick ( ) the sentences that show irony. Then discuss your answers. Explain the examples of irony. (Ex7)
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.
