Tapescript: Dưới đây là nội dung bài nghe

Next, let’s look at some of the recent changes in the US job market and see if we can make some predictions for future jobs.

A good way to begin is to look at the American workforce and how it is changing. The most important change has been the shift from manufacturing jobs to service jobs.

Manufacturing jobs are jobs in which people make something or produce things. For example, people produce cars. Service jobs are those in which workers provide service, or we may say, thery do something like washing people’s cars. Generally, service jobs are grouped into five categories:

One: Transportation companies.

Two: Wholesale companies Three: Retail companies.

Four: Finance companies

Five : Personal servive, such as hotels, car repair, accounting education and medicine.

Now the point here is that people have changed from manufacturing jobs to service jobs. For example, one hundred years ago, 80% of workers produced goods, today only 30% do. Economists predict that by the 2020, nine out of every ten workers will supply service.

Task 1: Listen to the passage and fill in the missing words in the boxes. (Nghe đoạn văn và điền những từ thiếu trong các khung.)

Listening - Unit 6: Future jobs - Công việc tương lai

Task 2: Listen again and decide whether the sentences are true (T) or false (F). (Nghe lại và quyết định những câu nói đúng (T) hay sai (F).)
