PTE Listening Part 8- Sample 8: Summarize The Spoken Text
With the development in technology, there are now ample choices in every possible field awaiting people from all over the world and one such sector where there are a lot of roads to choose from is that of career. In the past, not many choices were available to the people, and even if somebody decided to do something different from the crowd, he was generally frowned upon. Nevertheless, with the advancement in technology and broadening in the mindset of people, professions different from those generally accepted are also respected. Now this increase in the options is also followed by an increase in the confusion. So there are some things that can be done by those who find it difficult to choose the right path for themselves. The first thing is assessing oneself. Everyone is aware of his weaknesses and strengths, working on those and choosing a career path based on that could be extremely beneficial. Preparing a list of the different opportunities that can be explored and comparing the pros and cons of each is the next step towards selecting the right career. After evaluating the merits and demerits, one should shortlist the jobs further and talk to some people who work in the field and get an insight into the kind of working environment the job provides. When all the above mentioned things are done and one field or profession is finalised, prepare an action plan that needs to be executed to achieve that target.
