October Week Four

This week we discussed work and specifically the more current topic of the Great Resignation -- the phenomenon of people quitting their jobs in search for a better work life balance.  Do you this trend happening in Spain, too?

Listening:
Learners can try a listening comprehension activity of a talk from a careers fair with a nurse describing her job.

For original version listening, try a news segment from CNBC about how The Great Resignation is going global and how it is going to shake up the labor supply.

Reading:
Learners can try a reading comprehension activity from British Council about Work Life Balance.

For original version, go read an opinion article from The Guardian called Turns Out the Great Resignation May Be Followed by the Great Regret.

Writing:
This week for writing, please write a piece about work.  You could consider describing what a typical day on the job is like for you, or how your vision of work life balance has changed since the pandemic.
Best,
Kelly
