done this and it is likely that the company will continue to be successful. b)
People who work for a company for a long time often need a break or they can find
their jobs boring. It has become popular today for workers to take 3-, 6- or 12-month breaks
away from work. In the past it was only students who took a gap year before going to university,
but now almost twenty per cent of all workers in Britain are doing this. Popular destinations are
Africa and South America. People often do voluntary work while they are travelling. Some
companies are now offering their staff the opportunity to take a career break. This is one way to keep good staff.

What does the future offer, do you think? Will it be very different from what we know
today? Over the last twenty years the world has changed greatly. Technological developments
are moving very fast and it’s difficult to predict the future. Twenty years ago, mobile phones
were expensive and very big and didn’t work very well. Today they are small and you can
watch TV on them, send videos and photographs and use the internet. Maybe in the future we
won’t need phones. Perhaps we will use our thoughts to communicate with each other. That will
certainly save a lot of money, but we will need to be careful about what we are thinking! SECTION 4: CAREER SKILLS
