Describe one of yourgrandparents' job. You should say:

what it was;

how long has he/she beenin the job;

what kind of skills areneeded for the job;

and explain why he/sheliked the job.

Both of my grandparents were professors in the university, which isone of the most respected occupations in china. They had worked for over 40years. However, because of some political factors, they were forced to resignat one point.

Being a university professor requires several important qualities.First of all, you should have rich knowledge and get higher qualifications insome particular fields. Besides, it requires you to be responsible and careful.A sense of responsibility is a common trait in all good teachers.

My grandparents told me the development of the domestic society atthat time were restricted due to its backwardness in education. Therefore, theytook teaching as their duties. And it made them feel fulfilled to shareknowledge with others and help students achieve personal goals. Duringturbulent years, they could not get a salary sometimes, but they did not mindon the basis of their devotion to education.

1.     How do young people choose their career in your country?

Young people usually take career goals and personal preferences intoconsideration when making an optimal choice for themselves. Besides, some youngpeople who are more ambitious, hard-working and mature tend to launch their ownbusiness.

2.     Do they usually make their choice based on money or is their choiceusually based on what they are interested in doing?

I think most young people may focus on money more. Take me as an example,I really would like to find a well-paid job after graduation. When I saywell-paid, I mean in Shanghai, I need to earn at least 10 thousand RMB on amonthly basis. With this amount of money, I can be financially-independent.

3.     What sorts of work (or, what careers) are most popular with youngpeople in your country?

In recent years, big data and artificial intelligent have been quitehot in my country. Hence, the IT-related jobs, such as the programmer, dataanalyst and application modeler, are most popular with young people.

4.     Where do young people get advice about choosing a career?

They can ask their parents, friends and the career center in theiruniversities or communities for advice when making the vocation plan anddecision.

5.     Why do some people like their job while others don't like their job?

Some people choose their jobs just for money instead of interest andpassion, others find the jobs are different than they ever imagined, and stillothers have quite heavy workload and get exhausted.

6.     Why do people sometimes lose interest in (or, come to dislike) theirjob?

Well, I think it changes over time. For example, you liked your jobat first, but now you have lost interest in it. Perhaps you found theparticular field did not interest you on more than an academic level or you gettired. And sometimes you just could not find out a reason for it.
