The right choice?
by Adam Davidson
I was fresh out of university with a History degree and living
with my parents. I had searched on the Net for a job a little,
but I wasn’t looking for anything full time yet. One day, I
received an email from a museum. It was a great opportunity
but there was only one problem. It was on the other side of
the world: Australia! I had a choice to make and it wasn’t an
easy one. I really liked where I lived because I had my
friends and family there. It’s far away but jobs like these don’t
come along every day. I asked different people for advice
and most of them said, ‘Go for it!’ So, in the end I made up
my mind and I did. It’s been three years now and my job is
very interesting. But I haven’t got many friends here and
that’s not easy sometimes. I have to say that I have started
looking for job opportunities back in my home country. If I
find a job there, then I’ll have another decision to make.
However, one thing’s for sure: I won’t think about moving
back until I find a new job. Some of my friends seem to think
that I made the wrong choice. I don’t see it like that, though.
I’ve had a nice time here in Australia and I’m more
experienced now, so it was a good way to get my career
started.
1. How did Adam feel when he
received an email from the
museum?
a. He was disappointed.
b. He was really excited.
c. He was uncertain how to feel.
2. What is true about Adam’s life in
Australia?
a. He is dissatisfied with his job.
b. He sometimes feels lonely.
c. He is looking for more job
opportunities.
3. What might make Adam move
back home?
a. a career opportunity
b. his friends and family
c. an unexpected event
4. Does Adam think he made the
wrong decision?
a. Yes, he does.
b. No, he doesn’t.
c. He’s not sure.
