Form 10 Test 1
Task 1. Read the paragraphs (a-g) and put them in a logical order to get the story of a girl's career.
а) After that I was promoted and became an accountant manager. I stayed in that job for two more years, which makes four altogether. But then I really got bored. I decided to leave and apply for some other job in the area. My mother was ill and I couldn't move far from her.
b) At the university I studied economics. My ability to count quickly helped me in my studies a lot. Some of my university friends envied me and said I got a computer inside my head. They thought I would be in big business some day. They were mistaken.
c) The new place was not far from the house where I lived which was really convenient. But, alas, I wasn't very successful working in the restaurant. That was not my kind of thing. As it turned out I was quite clumsy and kept dropping things. In fact I was no waitress at all. So after a few weeks they gave me the sack and I really didn't know what to do.
d) While at school I was very good at mathematics. It took me practically no time to learn multiplication tables. I could multiply one number by another in my head and didn't find it difficult. When I had a multiplication to do, I don't know how, I almost instantly arrived at the right answer.
e) I don't know why but I had no luck getting a second job at all. Nobody seemed to need my great "abilities. Mum's medicines were rather expensive. Soon we became very short of money. I understood I just had to take any job available. So in the end I started working as a waitress in a restaurant.
f) But then, just by chance, I met an old friend who I was at the university with. He was working at television and he got me a job as a TV researcher on a program called "Business Today". After а few months they decided to change a presenter of the program, they wanted somebody younger. Well, I got the job - and I love it.
g) It didn't haррen like that at all. After graduation I got a job as an accountant in a local department store. It was not what I wanted but it was my first job. I thought I was lucky to get it so quickly. I worked as an accountant for two years.
