Charles: Ray, tell us how we can stay healthy when we work in an office.
Ray: There are many ways you can stay healthy at the office. The first thing you
can do is to stand up when you work. It’s very unhealthy to sit all day at a desk.
Charles: I don’t think I can stand all day.

Ray: You don’t need to stand all day. Get up at least every hour and walk around.
You can set an alarm clock to remind you to get up.
Charles: Good idea. What other tips do you have for us?
Ray: Walk as much as you can while you’re at work. Don’t take the elevator. Take
the stairs! Go for a walk during your lunch break. If you want to talk to people
in the next office, don’t send them an e-mail or call them. Walk over to them.
Charles: Well, my office building doesn’t have an elevator. So, I always take the stairs at
work! Are there any exercises we can do when we’re sitting at our desks?
Ray: Sure. Move your feet in circles. Lift your legs up and down. Stretch your arms.
Charles: That’s not hard to do at all.

a o
Ray: Yes, they’re very easy exercises.

Charles: These are all great tips. Thanks Ray, I can’t wait to try them out.

The Right Job for You

Narrator: Listen to part of a lecture on finding the right job.

Lecturer: Today’s talk is about finding the right job for you. First, you need to

a o
decide what type of person you are, and what your interests are. For

os ic
many jobs, you need the proper training or education. But there are also

m éx
H eM
many jobs that offer on-the-job training. Ask yourself: What do I like?
Do I need training? Let’s think about some possible occupations: Do

lla l d
you enjoy being outside most of the year? Do you like plants and

er
Vi a
flowers? Then maybe you want to be a gardener. Are you in good shape?
s ion

Do you like helping people? Do you like working out? Perhaps you want
pu ac

to be a fitness trainer in a gym. Do you like working with children and

am N

young people? Are you good at explaining things? Then a job in

C ico

teaching can be good for you. You can be a science teacher or maybe
óg

teach languages. Are you friendly and confident? Are you good at math?
ol

Then you can be a good salesclerk in a store. Remember: Try to match

cn

your experience, and what you like to do with the occupation that’s right
Te

for you. And don’t be afraid to try new things!
