Diagnosis Test
A. Read the text attentively.
Work... To many people, even the word sounds horrid! And not necessarily because they are
lazy.
The same man who hates his job in the factory, or even in the office, may work hard at the
weekend, painting the house or digging the garden.
What is the reason then? In most cases, it is because these people simply do not enjoy the job
they are doing. It does not give them any real satisfaction. The job may be easy, like making up
cardboard boxes, it may even be well-paid, but it is boring.
Very often they are doing a job which is just a small part of a much larger one, like attaching a
door handle to a car. But the part they actually play in making the car is so small that they can never
say: I have made something.
Yet, in modern society, somebody has to do these jobs because it is the way work is organised.

B. Decide whether the following statements are TRUE (T) or FALSE (F). Justify your
decision by quoting from the text.
