PART 3:

STRATEGY 1: CATEGORIZATION METHOD

-we will use categories to make answers! (GENDER, AGE, GROUP and so on.)

1. Do people nowadays like to leave their hometown to work in other cities? Why?
(INTRODUCTION, BODY, CONCLUSION)

Introduction: Well, as for me, it depends on the AGE GROUPS.

Body:
a. For the younger generation, such as 20 years old up to 30 years old, they prefer to work in other cities, more importantly
the big cities in China such as Beijing or Shanghai BECAUSE in those places, they can find high-paying jobs.
b. However, for older people, they prefer to work in their own cities so that they are near to their friends and family
members.
Conclusion: So, in China, some people prefer to work in their cities and some do not like to.

2. What kind of jobs are the most suitable among the young people nowadays?

Introduction: In China, good jobs depend on the GENDER of the person.

Body:
a. For BOYS, they usually love those jobs related to COMPUTERS. For example, I.T., Coders, Programmers and others. I think
the reason is that they like to stay at home and do their jobs inside. Not only that, they also like quiet environment to work.
b. On the other hand, for GIRLS, they usually love having jobs related to FINANCE or ACCOUNTING. I think the reason is that
girls are better when it comes to OFFICE JOBS than the boys because they can organize the documents and presentations
well. Also, girls love jobs related to FASHION and ENTERTAINMENT.
Conclusion: So, I think the jobs depend on the GENDER.

Make CATEGORIES
a. GENDER (boys or girls)
b. AGE GROUP (child, young people, adult)
c. SOCIAL STATUS (rich and poor)
d. OCCUPATION (students and workers)
e. WEATHER (rainy, sunny, cloudy etc.)
f. SEASONS (Summer, Winter, Spring, Autumn)

Question: What factors should people take into consideration when choosing jobs?

Introduction: Well, there are many factors.

Body:

for savings.
b. In addition are the benefits. If the companies can provide health benefits and social security, people would love to have
the job.
c. Moreover, the distance from home is also another factor. More people would love to have jobs nearer their home so that
they will be able to save expenses, and at the same time be with their family.
Conclusion: Therefore, those are the factors people usually consider in choosing jobs.
