INCREASE IN DEMAND FOR SECOND LANGUAGE SKILLS

More and more fields of work now require employees to have a second language.
Whatever job you’re aiming for, be it a salesperson or a software developer, a
second language is always an advantage.

1. ( Hospitality )

This includes work in restaurants, hotels and bars. More and more people travel
these days, from all over the world, both for leisure and business. Visitors need
somewhere to stay,

somewhere to eat and some way to travel around. Making them feel at home by
communicating with them in their own language is very important.

2. ( Information technology )

Having a good knowledge of English is very useful in the computer industry

because so much of the technical language is in English. Also, many of the large IT
companies are multinationals and have headquarters in the United States.

3. ( Computer game design )

Computer games companies need to sell their products to people all over the
world, so they need to be translated into lots of different languages.

4. ( Airline industry )

Employees in this industry are often expected to speak more than one foreign
language. This is usually English plus another language, depending on which part
of the world they operate in. Cabin crew are often bilingual or have a very good
command of a second language. Now it has also become compulsory for pilots
and air traffic controllers to have a minimum level of English for safety reasons. It
is believed that this will prevent crashes caused by poor communication.

5. ( Marketing )

Advertising and marketing is now a global industry, and jobs in these fields often
demand foreign languages. Advertising agencies usually work with companies
who sell their products all over the world, so need to create advertising
campaigns which work in many different languages.

15. Complete the sentences with the correct verbs. Use the text to help you.

a. It’s nice to (communicate) with foreign visitors in their own language.

b. You need a good knowledge of English to (understand) the technical

language.

c. You need to (create) games into different languages.

d. Pilots need to speak English to (prevent) crashes.

e. Marketing companies (sell) their products all over the world.

f. They need to (translate) advertising campaigns for different countries.

2. air traffic (g. controller)

3. software (b. industry)

4. advertising (d. campaign)

Top ten interview tips (a)

In just three seconds, an interviewer forms an opinion about you based on your
appearance and your body language, so make a good impression! First, wear
something smart. University interviews are not as formal as job interviews, but
you still need to look your best. It’s important to be neat and tidy and present a
positive image. Smile at the interviewer, and shake their hand firmly.

(d)

Remember to switch off your phone during the interview. Be positive, sit up
straight and smile at the interviewer. Answer their questions as best you can, but
don’t waffle or talk too much. Talk about your skills, experiences and abilities.
Make eye contact with them while you are talking. This will show them that you
are confident and don’t stare out of the window!

(c)

Do your research! Find out as much as you can about the university. Make sure
you know what they are looking for in a candidate. Make a list of possible
questions, and think about what your answers will be. Prepare some questions
you can ask the interviewer. After all, you want to make sure the university offers
you what you need.

(b)

Most importantly, think about how you will get to the interview. Make sure you
know how long the journey will take and be clear about how you are going to get
there, If possible, do it once before interview day to be sure. You don’t want to be
stressed on the day, and you definitely don’t want to be late!

a. Why is it important to make a good first impression?

A: Because an interviewer forms an opinion about you based on your appearance

and your body language.

same time, talk about my skills, experiences and abilities. I must make eye contact
while speaking.
