Aim: to personalise the topic; to express an opinion

Read out the question and elicit answers from Ss around the class.

Suggested Answer Key

The most important factor for me in a career is having general job satisfaction. It’s true that having a large salary is very nice, but if y ou don’t enjoy the work or hate the working environment then what’s the point? Personally, I think it’s much better to be happy with what you’re doing, and to have positive working relationships with your colleagues. I can’t think of anything better than a job you love that has a nice collaborative work environment where you feel satisfied and part of a winning team!

Aim: to develop research skills; to expand on the topic

• Ss research online to find out how people from various countries around the world value employee benefits. Ss present their findings to the class.

• Then have the class perform peer assessment and give feedback for Ss to use to improve their performance.

Suggested Answer Key

Different countries have different cultures, so the way people value employee benefits varies from country to country. These are just a few examples of places where employees think differently.

In the USA, for example, there is a competitive business culture, so people prefer jobs, which offer lots of future prospects. It is also quite a modern country, so people would rather work under a supervisor who allows them to be flexible and creative with their work.

In Australia, the cost of living is quite high, so people definitely need jobs with good salaries. People there are quite relaxed by nature, so they want a collaborative environment where they can share opinions and come up with new ideas.

In Japan, careers are considered extremely important, so people look for jobs that offer them responsibility and lots of future prospects. Teamwork is heavily emphasised in workplaces there, too, so people prefer to work in a collaborative environment.

When it comes to work, people’s preferences vary a lot. In my opinion, it is the culture of a country that determines an employee’s expectations of a job, as well as what he or she hopes to achieve from

working at a particular company.
