Some selfies say: ‘Look at me – aren’t I beautiful?’ This girl has frizzy yellow hair and pink lips. And she’s pouting. Oh, dear. And some selfies say: ‘Aren’t I cool?’ This man is wearing fashionable sunglasses. And he’s very proud of his beard. This man is saying: ‘Look at my strong arms!’ He loves the gym, obviously! Maybe too much … When someone is too proud of how they look, we call it ‘vanity’. Selfies are a fun way to share our lives online. But, next time you take a selfie, think: ‘Why am I taking this?’ ‘Do my friends really want to see this?’ So, have fun with selfies. But be careful! Don’t turn into this guy …


Unit 5


5.1 1 I’m a nurse in a hospital. The best thing about my job is the people. I have very friendly colleagues.


2 I’m a lawyer. I work for a German law firm. It’s my first job after university so I have a lot to learn. I’m lucky I have a very helpful boss. I work in an office.


3 I’m an engineer in a factory. We’re a large company with 2,000 people, and we make parts for cars.


4 I like my job. I’m a designer for an Italian fashion company in Milan. It’s an expensive city so I’m lucky I have a high salary. Sometimes I work in an office, and sometimes I work in a factory.


5 I’m a scientist. I work for a university. I work in a laboratory with six colleagues. The salary isn’t good, but I have long holidays. That’s important for me.


6


I think I have an interesting job. I’m a journalist for the New York Times. Every day is different. I’m in the office some days and some days I work at home.


7 I’m an architect and I work in the centre of London in a big office. I’m lucky I have flexible hours. I can change the time I start and finish work. I have small children so that’s important for me.


8 Some days I work in the day and other days I work at night. I’m a police officer in the USA. It can be a dangerous job, especially at night out on the streets of the city.


9 I live in Stockholm in Sweden, but my job is in Dubai. I’m a construction worker for an international company. I work very long hours. I start early in the morning and finish late at night.
