POSTCARDS
Many people receive picture postcards nowadays of places their friends and family have visited. They first became popular in the 1890s. Until then it was only rich who took holidays but at that time, because of the opening of the railways, ordinary people decided to go to the seaside too. Photographers realized that people wanted to take home a picture their holiday so they started to offer photographs for sale in seaside towns. And they sold 30 million of them.
Today those old photographs give us a very clear idea of what holidays were like over a hundred years ago. People did not post the photographs but brought them home to keep and show their friends. This was, however, the beginning of today's picture-postcard industry is important to tourists everywhere.
Read the passage and choose the correct answer to each of the questions.
Most people need some preparation before they are ready for the workforce, and planning should begin long before it is time to start a career.
Many high school students don't yet know what they want to do. High school is a great time to start thinking about careers. Settling on just one occupation in high school isn't necessary, but they should know how to explore careers and put time into investigating them and learning about their skills and interests.
Understanding what you enjoy and what you are good at is the first step in exploring careers. It is important to think about what you like to do because work will eventually be a big part of your life. Once you have thought about the subjects and activities you like best, the next step is to look for careers that put those interests to use. If you love sports, for example, you might consider a career as a gym teacher, or coach.
Another approach to identifying potential career interests is to consider local employers and the types of jobs they have. There are many jobs in manufacturing and healthcare near the high school. Talking directly to workers can help you get information about what they do. If you don't know workers in occupations that interest you, ask people such as your parents, friends, or teacher for their contacts.
If job shadowing gives you a taste of what an occupation is like, imagine how helpful getting experience could be. Students can begin getting career-related experiences in high school through internships, employment, and other activities. Completing an internship is an excellent way to get experience. Internships are temporary, supervised assignments designed to give students practical job training.
