SECTION A

(READING)

A1. Read the passage given below and answer the questions that follow.

1 Sarah Riley works in the heart of London. Her working day is filled with meetings, phone calls, project deadlines and all the other responsibilities of corporate life. She is good at her job and has steadily progressed over the last six years to her current position as marketing consultant for a large communications and marketing firm.

2 It is a demanding job but well paid and Ms. Riley loves it. Yet for the past year and a half, she has been leaving her job every Wednesday evening to drive to the coastal town of Brighton, where she spends the rest of the week and part of the weekend working as a junior barber in a city centre salon. She does not need the extra money nor is she planning a career change. The fact is that like a small but growing number of workers, Ms. Riley has simply decided that two careers are better than one.

3 Dual careerists (also sometimes called sunlighters) are not contractors who work for several clients or moonlighters who take on extra-jobs for money. Instead, they are people who are actively committed to more than one career. Celebrity hybrids, such as singer/actress/children’s author, Madonna, and even actor/champion poker player, Ben Affleck are known for having more than one career on the go and it is a trend that experts say is gathering force among office workers.

4 Ms. Riley is now completing her NVQ Level 2 barber training, “I have always been interested in men’s hair-dressing and I find it quite creative.” She says, “I would often look at someone’s hair-style and think I can do that and one day I just decided to do it. Initially I enrolled in an evening course, which gave me a very basic grounding and a chance to see if I could actually do it. When I realised I could and that I enjoyed it, I decided to train properly.”

5 City and Guild recently conducted a forward-looking analysis of the trend and concluded that increased life expectancy and pension under-funding will lead to longer working lives, while the rise of (particularly on-line) technology will mean people can re-train while holding down their current jobs. This creates an encouraging climate for dual careerists. The study predicts that the 1-2 million people who currently have two or more jobs will double in the next 20 years.

6 Like Ms. Riley, the majority of dual careerists work part-time. But executive assistant Nicola Wright, 27, who has a full time job as a P.A. opted for an additional career when faced with the prospect of otherwise having to give up her childhood passion for dance. She decided to train as a dance teacher in the evenings and week-ends and has spent the past six years establishing her own dance school in Portsmouth, along the coast from Brighton, while holding down her original job. For her, top notch organisational and time management skills and the goodwill of her employers were fundamental in helping her realise her ambition.

7 However, taking on two careers can require almost superhuman determination and efficiency. Apart from the training there are administrative chores like completing tax-returns which many people with more than one employer are required to do. “It is exhausting,” Ms. Wright admits,

(a) (i) Who is Sarah Riley ? What is the nature of her job ? 

(ii) Who are dual careerists ? Mention some dual careerists. 

(iii) Where has Ms. Sarah Riley been going every Wednesday evening and why ? 

(iv) What did the City and Guild conducted analysis state ? 

(v) What is the opinion of Ms. Wright about dual careers ? 

(b) Find words from the above passage which mean the same as : 

(i) very tiring (para 7)

(ii) provided money for (para 9)

(iii) adaptable (para 10)
