Learning Tasks M6 LA1

Instructions
Part 1: Getting to know Report Texts
Task 1
In this activity, we will learn some interesting jobs which you might not familiar with. Read the
four interesting jobs in the article.
Example 1:
Guess what? The words you are reading right now were written by a copywriter. And he
made money doing it! Copywriters are people who create fresh written content for advertising,
marketing and descriptive texts.
Copywriters can write more creative text, like ad jingles, taglines, and other creative copy,
or more research-based copy, like a job description on a website. Copywriters should know how to
write for various mediums, such as print, web, radio and television. Copywriters work with editors
to determine tone and brainstorm ideas, and may work with a designer or art director for
advertising.
Copywriters might work for a company or work as a freelancer. They are hired based on
their ability to create compelling text that draws readers in, conveys a certain message or
entertains.

Example 2:
Escrow officers, also known as loan officers, determine if people and businesses can
qualify for a loan. Escrow officers work for banks and financial institutions and look over gathered
financial documents, to determine how much people and businesses make, how much they owe and
credit rating. They often meet with applicants to ask questions and verify information, explain
types of loans and help applicants decide the right loan for them.
Escrow officers often use industry-specific underwriting software to help them determine
the size and type of loan an applicant is qualified for. Once determined, escrow officers can
approve or deny a loan, or give their information to someone in a management position for a final
decision.

Example 3
Step into the risk business. Insurance underwriters work for insurance companies to decide
whether or not to give out insurance and the terms at which it is given. Underwriters work in
insurance fields like life, health, mortgage or property and casualty, and look at many factors to
determine approval for insurance. Underwriters receive insurance applications from insurance
agents, and then use rigorous tests and software programs to get recommendations on coverage.
Depending on the type of insurance, factors can include accident history, health, income, age, etc.
The program recommends amount of coverage and premiums, and the underwriter makes
adjustments based on the individual, deciding whether to approve or reject the applicant.
In addition, underwriters write their findings in the policies for approval by the applicant.

Example 4
While lawyers may get the face time on shows like "Law & Order," it's the paralegals doing
all the work behind the scenes (literally and figuratively). Paralegals are responsible for assisting
lawyers and legal teams for hearings, trials and other meetings by doing research, preparing
arguments and gathering the appropriate documentation. If it sounds like a lot of work, that's
because it is.
The majority of paralegals are employed by independent law firms, but they are found in
many types of organizations including corporate legal and litigation teams, and government
agencies. Depending on the type of agency you're employed with as a paralegal your duties will
vary, but will likely include analysis of legal materials, maintaining reference files and records, and
collecting materials for court proceedings and meetings.
