2 Just don’t do it!

2a Suggested p. 241. Yksi tapa viivytellä on olla tekemättä mitään. Toinen tapa on tehdä pienempiä asioita, jotka tuntuvat kiireisiltä. Näin viivyttelijä ei kuitenkaan tee niitä isoja asioita, joita oikeastaan pitäisi tehdä ensin.2. Pistä tehtävänä olevat asiat tärkeysjärjestykseen. Listaa tärkein asia ensin. Kun teet kaikki asiat, jotka ovat alempana listassa, viivyttelet ylempänä listassa olevien asioiden tekemistä. Saat paljon aikaan, mutta samaan aikaan viivyttelet.

I am writing in regards to Jemma Laine, who has been a student at ______ Lukio since 2016. I have been working withher for the last two years, including as a homeroom teacher. Jemma is an excellent student.

She is consistently punctual and conscientious. She actively participates in class discussions and collaborates in a helpful manner with fellow students. Her exam scores are typically strong, partially as a result of excellent study habits and her ability to ask detailed and pertinent questions about exam results. In addition to her studies, Jemma swims competitivelyon a city team and is involved in a plethora of school events, including the school play and work with a local elementary school.

Based on my experience with Jemma, I can recommend her for university without reservation.

Sincerely,

Pekka Metsäläinen

4a Suggested p. 421. Psykologiasta valmistuneet hankkivat vaikuttavan valikoiman taitoja, mikä tekee heistä helposti työllistyviä.2. Taitojen ja tieteenalan luonne ovat yhdistelmä, joka ei ainoastaan tue psykologiaa yliopistossa opiskelevien määrän (viimeaikaista) kasvua, mutta myös varmistaa sen pysyvän merkityksen/relevanssin globaaleilla markkinoilla.3. Psykologian opiskelijat hankkivat usein työkokemusta ja lisäopintoja, mikä parantaa heidän työllistymistään.4. HESA raportoi valmistuneiden sijoittumisesta vain kuusi kuukautta valmistumisen jälkeen, mikä ei ole riittävä aika usealle opiskelijalle löytää tutkintoa vastaava paikka.5. Maantieteestä ja psykologiasta valmistuneet ovat kiinnostuneita aloista, joilla on kasvava määrä avoimia työpaikkoja.6. Johtavista yliopistoista valmistuvien kysyntä on suuri, ja maantiedettä ja psykologiaa opiskellaan paljon todennäköisemmin näissä kouluissa.7. Maantieteen opiskeleminen varustaa valmistuneet valikoimalla taitoja, joita työnantajat toivovat.8. Oppiaine jo itsessään jalostaa maailmankatsomusta ja tiettyä kulttuurista herkkyyttä.

Tapescript

Therese graduated with a Bachelor of Arts degree with Honours in Business Studies and Economics. She is fluent in four languages. During her studies in the UK she did a ProjectManagement internship with an exciting global entrepreneurial company in San Diego, the USA. During her degree she also made the most of a winter semester break by volunteering at a medical and conservation project in Zimbabwe. She says she truly believes these two very different experiences made a huge difference in her life and opened up new opportunities for the future as well. And she was right.Within a fortnight after graduation, she started a full-time job as a market data analyst in a multicultural company and can’t wait for her career to really start. // Jonathan completed a PhD from the Faculty of Health Sciences and Sport, his third degree. He previously graduated with degrees in Film and Media and Film Production, worked in Hollywood and the UK in Film, television and computer games industry and then returned to his old university.“I never expected that I would be back to graduate for a second time, far less a third, but the University has created amazing opportunities for me to develop, whether it was through scholarships or giving me the chance to spend time abroad during my degrees.”After a career working as a screenwriter, script editor, producer and executive producer on some very successful programmes, his latest degree has seen him use his media industry skills to improve the nation’s health. // He investigated how using interactive digital storytelling can improve communications on public health issues such as smoking or obesity.“I always felt that public health information films seemed to

be rather patronising. I was exploring interactive storytelling and I thought there were great opportunities to use it in the context of health improvement."Jonathan is an advocate for constantly improving one’s skills. “It’s a different world compared to when I first graduated. More than ever, employees are expected to be flexible and adjust to the changes in the world. I really enjoyed coming back to the campus for another graduation, thirty years after I first arrived.” //

Tapescript

The American TV show Shark Tank has been on the air since 2009 and it is based on a Japanese format Tigers of Money. InBritain the show is known as Dragon’s Den. Despite the references to animals, the show is about entrepreneurs who pitch their business ideas to a panel of investors. The one-hourlong pitch is shortened to about 10 minutes on the show to make it more dramatic and viewer-friendly. The entrepreneursare trying to get a member or members of the panel to invest in their product or business and in return they usually offer a stake in their company. // 1 Many of the investors in the American version of the show areself-made millionaires. For example, Barbara Corcoran first started out as a teacher, but after a year moved on to other jobs. One of these was renting apartments in New York City. After a while, she decided to set up her own business and she co-founded a real estate company with her then boyfriend. Her business grew over time and in 2001 she netted 66 million dollars after its successful sale. // 2

Another investor on the show, Robert Herjavec, grew up on a farm in Croatia. His family moved to Canada when Robert was eight years old. The family was poor, they didn’t speak English and the first years in Canada were challenging. Eventually Robert got a university degree in English literatureand political science. He had several minimum wage jobs before he finally ended up working as a film producer and director. Later he set up his own internet security company, which he then sold for thirty million dollars. After the sale, hestayed home with his three children, but after three years he founded another company, which is now a highly successful technology company. // 3 So the investors on the show know a thing or two about building your own company and career. One of the show’s biggest success stories in recent years has been Tipsy Elves, a company that started out selling ugly Christmas sweaters. Best friends Evan Mendelsohn, a corporate lawyer, and Nick Morton, a dentist who specialized in root canal treatments, came to the show looking for an investment that would allow them to expand their business. Their pitch was successful and Robert Herjavec agreed to invest 100 000 dollars for a 10 % stake in the company. Not only did the two men get the investment, but also publicity for their company and some business advice from Herjavec which helped them to double their sales in the year following their TV appearance. Now they are selling quirky clothing and accessories for all sorts ofholidays, not just the Christmas season, and their sales figures are soaring. // 4, 5

Paul compared the new CEO to the captain of the Titanic, because he had been with a bank which had been one of the biggest casualties of the crash and was now skippering BOT.7. One type of a derivative is an option, which is a contract that gives you the right, but not the obligation, to buy something from you for an agreed price at an agreed date in the future.8. Jurgen thinks Fate brought Paul to capture the bank at the moment of its metamorphosis from a minor player into an unstoppable banking force.

7h ListeningListen to expert advice on business etiquette. Write down the six main pieces of advice and the reasons why you should take them.

Business etiquette stands for manners in business life. People are never hired or promoted merely because they have good manners. Still, being respectful and attentive at work may tip the scales to your advantage. The business etiquette is based on practicality unlike the social etiquette. The work environment is gender neutral. Both men and women should be treated equally. Six underlying principles of the business etiquette are:1. Punctuality: Be on time. Being late is a sign that you do notvalue the time of others. In business life, time is money. Being slow costs your company money and you your employer’s trust.// 2. Be discreet: Keep the secrets to yourself whether it’s a company secret or something a co-worker has told you. Betraying others destroys their trust in you.//

3. Be respectful, considerate and positive: Both your superiorsand subordinates appreciate your upbeat, professional image while dealing with clients and colleagues.Genial behaviour normally improves the work climate for all.// 4. Dress appropriately: Choice of dress should be consistent with your position and your company's dress policy. Dressing too casually or overdressing can hurt your ability to advance.// 5. Be apprehensive with others: Taking time to understand other people's circumstances from their viewpoint puts you in a favourable light. Your colleagues, clients and subordinates will notice your consideration and will enjoy working with you.// 6. Use correct grammar — written and spoken: To communicate clearly and concisely is an advantage in the business world. Those who can clearly make their points quickly improve their chances of moving ahead in a business setting.

2. Woman: Listen, the National Health Service is in crisis again. Their budget deficit is expected to get bigger as inflation raises prices and personnel costs mount.Man: And that means worse service for us. Longer queues, bigger waiting times and the usual.Woman: Not necessarily, listen. The NHS is one of the country’s largest property owners but the least efficient property managers. If they privatised or outsourced property management, they might be able to fund the deficit.

9a Suggested p. 901. Kiinteä kuukausipalkka, palkallinen loma ja se, että se

antaa perustan vakaan tulevaisuuden suunnitteluun.2. Optimistit näkevät tulevaisuuden täynnä

täysivaltaisia/voimaantuneita yrittäjiä ja loputtomia innovaatioita. Pessimistit näkevät tulevaisuuden työntekijät orjuutettuina metsästämässä seuraavaa urakkaa.3. Sähköisten markkinapaikkojen kautta on voinut hakea töitä,

myydä omia tuotteita ja luoda alustoja majoitustoiminnan järjestämiseksi.4. Sen myötä on helpompi luottaa osittain tuntemattomaan

kanssaihmiseen.5. Uber ei omista autoja, se tarjoaa asiakkaalle keinon saada

yhteys auton kuljettajaan.6. Ne määrittelevät hinnat, kouluttavat palveluiden tuottajia

palvelutason parantamiseksi, auttavat myyjiä luomaan verkostoja ja tarjoavat asiakkaille mahdollisuuden antaa palautetta.7. He eivät tarvitse pitkää koulutusta tai erikoistumista ennen

työhön ryhtymistä, heidän ei tarvitse sitoutua kokopäivätyöhön, aikataulut ovat joustavat, he ovat ”oma pomonsa”, he voivat tasapainottaa työ- ja arkielämänsä, he voivat kokeilla yrittäjyyttä ilman ison riskin ottamista.8. Keikkataloudessa pääoma ei kasaudu harvojen käsiin.

Toisaalta yhteiskunta voi kehittyä niin, että massat tuottavat palveluita pienelle etuoikeutettujen joukolle. (Myös sosiaaliturva täytyy suunnitella uusiksi niin, että se ei enää perustu kuukausipalkkaiseen työhön.)

entrepreneurs and boundless innovation. To the naysayers, it portends a dystopian future of disenfranchised workers hunting for their next wedge of piecework.2. Today’s digitally enabled gig economy was preceded by

marketplaces such as ELance and oDesk, through which computer programmers and designers could make a living competing for short-term work assignments. 3. It is spawning a host of new economic activity. 4. But these platforms are by no means merely the purveyors

of Smith’s invisible hand. Rather, the hand they play in facilitating exchange is decidedly visible. 5.…the main driver of sustained economic inequality over the

past two centuries has been the concentration of wealth-producing “capital” in the hands of a few. 6.…the economy is powered by millions of micro-

entrepreneurs who own their businesses, rather than a small number of giant corporations.7. There’s a risk we might devolve into a society in which the

on-demand many end up serving the privileged few.8. Although the broader socioeconomic effects of the gig

economy are as yet unclear, it is clear we must rethink the provision of our safety net, decoupling it from salaried jobs and making it more readily available to independent workers.

Have you ever wondered what the worst job interview would be like? How would you react if you experienced something as strange as the following examples?// “I was interviewing for a job that sounded more suitable than any job I had ever applied for. During the two-hour interview,I realised that couldn’t have been further from the truth. Towards the end the questions were getting more and more confusing. At the end of the awkwardly long interview, the interviewer apologetically told me that even though I was perfectly qualified for the job, they had already decided to hiresomebody else. Having already scheduled the interview on her schedule, she said she didn’t want her time to go to waste. I guess my time was so much less important, it didn’t matter.”// “In my early twenties, I had an interview at one of the best-known department stores. Wanting to make a long-lasting firstimpression, I decided to focus on every detail. So I wore my best skirt even though I had gained a few pounds since buyingit. I was well-prepared to answer every question briefly but informatively enough, and I was convinced they would hire me. The personnel manager greeted me in a friendly way and my confidence grew greater and greater as I walked in front ofhim towards his office. Once at the office he looked strangely uncomfortable. Before I managed to say a word, he suggested that I would go to the ladies room to check on my skirt. To my horror, the mirror in the ladies room revealed a huge tear in my skirt. My face turned as red as the underwear that was showing. I was way too embarrassed to return to the office having been showing off my underwear in public. In addition to not getting the job, I decided it was best to do my shopping in another store in the future as well.”
