1. **Think! Read the dictionary entry. Why do you think it is important to choose the right career?** It is important to choose the right career because we spend a significant part of our lives working. A job that matches our skills and interests makes us happier, more productive, and satisfied with our daily life. 2. **a) What career do you want to have?** *This is a personal question about your future goals. For example, you might say: "I want to be a doctor because I like helping people," or "I want to be a software engineer because I enjoy solving problems." **b) Do you agree with your result? Why? Why not? Tell the class.** *Reflect on the quiz results provided in your book. For example: "Yes, I agree with the result because it suggests I should be a teacher, and I really enjoy explaining things to others." **c) Do you think certain personality types are suited to certain jobs? In three minutes write a few sentences. Read them to the class.** Yes, I believe personality plays a big role. Extroverts, for example, often thrive in jobs that involve communication, like sales or teaching. Introverts might prefer roles that allow deep, independent work, like research or programming. 3. **Complete the sentences with the words from the Check these words box.** (Note: The "Check these words" box in your image is partially cut off, but based on typical context for these exercises, here are the likely answers): 1. She's very **down-to-earth** and practical. 2. What **skills** do you need to be a social worker? 3. Dan always surprises me. He's so **moody**. 4.
