Read the following email and mark the letter A, B, C or D to indicate the option that best fits each of the following questions from 23 to 30.
Hi Jess,
It’s nice to hear from you. I’m so happy that you’re doing well and enjoying your new home in Canada.
[1] I’d be happy to give you some advice on your career. I’ve been looking at what to do myself, and it’s been pretty difficult. It’s great that you narrowed it down to being either an interior designer or a banker. I have to say, they are two very different jobs.
[2] Anyway, you could definitely be a great interior designer. You’re so creative and artistic. You’d really enjoy choosing furniture and colors for different rooms. I think you could even work from home for some businesses. I know how much you love your sofa. However, as an interior designer, you could have some really difficult clients who don’t know what they want or find it hard to keep up with the newest trends and popular styles. I think if you did lots of research and learned how to talk to clients, you could avoid those problems.
[3] Being a banker is also an interesting career choice. I never really saw you as a banker, but I know you could be great at it. They make lots of money and work as part of a big team. You’d enjoy that. You could even work with some rich and famous people. However, I think you might have to work a lot. Bankers work all the time. You might not get much time to be creative. I know you’re really hard-working, but I think if you find a good work-life balance, you could enjoy being a banker, though.
I hope this helped. Let me know what you decide to do. I think we should meet up over the holidays. When are you free?
Speak soon,
Lizzy
