2. Phân tích Bài đọc (Passage Analysis)

Paragraph 1: Early Career Aspirations

One of the biggest questions for a student growing up is what job to get. Since at least half a person’s life is spent working, it makes sense to know early on what to choose… And because of the Internet, vlogging and becoming an e-sport athlete are also other answers you might hear.

Paragraph 2: Making the Big Decision

However, towards the end of secondary school, students must have a concrete decision before entering university. Many students follow their passion… But some have to follow what their family says to continue the family legacy.

Paragraph 3: Factors Affecting Work Experience

So if the remuneration is not enough, the employee might work elsewhere or even change careers. The rapport at work is another factor… But if the atmosphere is toxic because of the bad vibes from others in the workplace, employees are more willing to resign early. One more factor is job fulfillment.

Paragraph 4: Employee Retention Strategies

Employers are aware of these concerns and often seek ways to retain their employees. Thus, many companies have team-building activities to foster trust and better camaraderie within the team… But if the company wants to prevent its best employees from becoming disillusioned about their job, it makes sense to invest a little to keep their people happy.
