COMMUNICATION AND CULTURE
COMMUNICATION
Work-related issues
1. Discuss these questions.
2. Present your group’s ideas to the class.
1. In our group we think people should start looking for a job after leaving school at the age of 18. This can be a part-time job or a voluntary one, not necessarily a permanent job. When people start working, they become more responsible for their lives and contribute more to society.
2. We all believe that the three most important qualities are reliability, responsibility, and flexibility. Employers really want to find the people who they can rely on. Also, they want their employees to be flexible to adapt well to the ever changing working environment.
3. All of the members of my group agree that the necessary skills for job seekers are communication, problem solving, and collaboration. When employees can communicate with each other. It is easier for them to work together to solve problems.
