A: what kind of work do you want to do when you finish university?
B: I want to work in the banking industry. I’ve always been interesting in working for an international bank. I’d like to help people invest their money.
A: that’s a job that pays well. If you’re lucky, you might have opportunities to travel as well. Have you applied to any banks yet? Our course will end soon.
B: yes. I’ve sent letters to several banks. A few have invited me for interviews after we take our examinations.
A: well done! I haven’t sent off my job applications yet.
B; which field would you like to work in? have you decide yet?
A; I’d like to work in marketing. I think I could have a good career in that field.
B: perhaps you should apply to banks as well. They need people to market their service. As you said, the banking industry pays well.

Intermediate
A: what kind of jobs are becoming popular in your country?
B; as in many countries, there’s been a big growth in anything related to computers. Young people are attracted to that field in particular. There’s also been a big growth in education.
A: there’s been a growth in that field in my country too. A lot of people want to learn practical and professional skills.
B: the interesting thing is that many of the teachers are not actually trained teachers. They are usually professionals who are taking a break from their jobs to pass on skills to others.
A: I noticed that too. What are the people learning?
B; in my country, they are usually studying something business-related, such as marketing, management, techniques, and human resource management.
A: I think that jobs in the leisure industry will become more popular in the future.
B: that trend has already begun in my country. In particular, there’s a big demand for people to work in fitness centers. Which kinds of jobs are less in demand?
A; those in traditional fields, such as agriculture and heavy industry. Younger people are not interested in doing those jobs and other countries have industries that can produce things much cheaper.
B; yes. My country is certainly expanding in the service and hi-tech sectors, but contracting in the heavy industry and primary industry sectors. However, our car and aircraft manufacturers are doing very well.
A; they are well known for high quality, that’s why.
