2 Present your group's ideas to the class.

Gợi ý:
1.

In our group we think people should start looking for a job after leaving school at the age of 18.
This can be a part-time job or a voluntary one, not necessarily a permanent job. When people start
working, they become more responsible for their lives and contribute more to society.
2.
We all believe that the three most important qualities are reliability, responsibility, and flexibility.
Employers really want to find the people who they can rely on. Also, they want their employees to be
flexible to adapt well to the ever changing working environment.
3.
All of the members of my group agree that the necessary skillsforjobseekersare communication,
problemsolving,andcollaboration.Whenemployees can communicate with each other, it is easier for
them to work together to solve problems.
Culture
My name is Harry and I live in Bath, a small beautiful city in the south-west of England. I left school
when I was 18, after taking my A levels.
My results were not great, but probably high enough for university.
