與職場相關的話題可能對同學們造成困擾，很多同學抱怨：“我長這麼大一直都在全力學習，根本沒在任何單位待過，對社會上的工作既沒興趣也不瞭解，讓我們怎麼回答有關上班、求職、加薪這樣的問題？”
需要指出的是，這些方面的問題是一個educated person應該瞭解的背景常識，即使沒有吃過豬肉，也應該知道豬是怎麼運動的。在此以“工作（職場）中的變化”這個話題為例，為同學們演示一下這一類型話題的展開方式，同時為大家補充一些背景知識。
I’d like to explore the recent changes inthe workplace in four parts. Mostly importantly, the ways people seekemployment have been totally distinct from the old days. When my parents wereyoung and looking for jobs, they usually needed to find an agent to introduce all the available jobs. But today, most of us use applications installed in our mobile phones to find jobs. This way is not only more efficient but also more transparent.
Moreover, the relationships in theworkplace have changed, too. In the past, the leader of a team was quite bossy,while nowadays the boss and his members are more like partners who cooperate with each other.
Another thing is how people’s performanceis measured. Now, people’s work is not simply judged by the boss; rather, there are very sophisticated ways with the help of the computer to decide how they perform. For example, how much value they have created for the business is calculated online.
At last, the skills needed to succeed usedto be very narrow: you just need to be good at one skill to be a good worker.However, in today’s workplace, you may need to learn new skills constantly in order to have a successful and stable position. These have been the majorchanges on work.
