Job Application Form
Hi, I’m Taylor of About.com and today I’ll be showing you how to complete a job application
form, any additional materials you may need and some tips on how to use proper handwriting. I’ll
be using the instructions from www.About.com’s job application site.
It’s very important that your application is correct, accurate and complete. Since you’re
going to be asked about your previous education and employment history, take the time to find out
any names, addresses, phone numbers, and dates of employment before 1 _________ the
application. Have at least three 2_____________ available. Make sure you have their permission
before using them as a reference. These people can be teachers, members of an organization you
volunteered for, or previous employers. Don’t use family members though.
Using blue or black ink, fill up your personal information like your name, 3____________
and phone number. When writing, leave enough space between each letter, so the words are easily
legible. Be conscious of how much space you are given, so don’t write too big or too small.
In the Education section, write down the most recent year of education first, include
vocational school and training programs, as well as 4___________ and high school. Write down your
major along with 5_____________ or diplomas and the graduation dates.
When filling out the 6____________ applied for information, write down the title of the job
you’re applying for. Fill out the hours and days you’re 7___________ to work. Keep in mind these
are the hours you’re available, not already committed to, to things such as school, extra-curricular
activities, or another job.
Using the information you gathered previously, fill out the employment history section,
include names, addresses, and phone numbers of previous employers, supervisor names, dates of
employment, and 8____________. If there was a reason you left or were asked to leave, include
that, too. Be honest, that’s what they’re looking for. 9____________ the information required for
your references; this is typically their name, address, and phone number. Before turning it in,
proofread for spelling and grammatical errors. Make sure all information is correct and sign your
application. And don’t forget to attach your 10_____________ if it was requested.

3. Collocations
A. Work with a partner. Read the text and answer the questions below.
What is a collocation?
A collocation is a pair or group of words that are often used together. These combinations sound
natural to native speakers, but students of English have to make a special effort to learn them
because they are often difficult to guess.
Some combinations just sound ‘wrong’ to native speakers of English. For example, the adjective
fast collocates with cars and food but not with a glance or a meal. Learning collocations is an
important part of learning the vocabulary of a language.
Some collocations are fixed, or very strong, for example, take a photo, where no word other than
take collocates with photo to give the same meaning. Some collocations are more open, where
different words may be used to give a similar meaning, for example, keep to / stick to the rules.
Here are some more examples of collocations.
• You must make an effort and study for your exams (NOT do an effort)
• Did you watch TV last night? (NOT look at TV)
• This car has a very powerful engine. It can do 200 km an hour. (NOT strong engine)
• There are some ancient monuments nearby. (NOT antique monuments)
Sometimes, a pair of words may not be wrong, and people will understand what is meant, but it
may not be the natural, normal collocation. If someone says I did a few mistakes, they will be
understood, but a fluent speaker of English would probably say I made a few mistakes.
Taken from: English Collocations In Use: Intermediate, McCarthy & O’Dell, Second Edition, 2017
1. What is a collocation? __________________________________
2. Which of these words does fast collocate

with: car, food, glance, meal? __________________________________
3. What is an example of a fixed or very strong

collocation? __________________________________
4. What happens if a pair of words are not

collocated correctly? __________________________________

B. Read the dialogs. Find and circle the collocations with GET.
1.
Jack: I think I said something wrong at the meeting today.
Mark: I’m sure of it! Even I got the message with the angry look the boss gave you.
2.
Lucy: Just give me five more minutes to get ready. I’ll be out in a second.
Ted: Sure! Take as long as you need, we still have time to catch the movie.
3.
Lucy: Hey Lily! What are your plans after graduation?
Lily: Well, first I want to get a job. Then, once I get started with that I want to start saving
money to buy a better car.
4.
Tom: Hey! You shouldn’t get worried, after all you did get permission from your dad to
be here, right?
Terry: That’s the thing, he doesn’t even know I’m here.
C. Look at the following collocations with JOB. Work in pairs and write a definition for them. You
can use a dictionary.
Collocation with JOB Meaning
A demanding job
A permanent job
A full-time job
A steady job
A high-powered job
A well-paid job

Lesson 2 A Terrible Day

1. How do you feel?
Idioms are expressions whose meanings are different from the words that make them.
Understanding an idiom requires some other knowledge than knowing the words used. Idioms
normally cannot be modified or the words within them changed.
Example:
“I lost my head completely” as an idiom means 'I got very angry', NOT that literally you don’t
have your head anymore.
A. Work in pairs. Look at the examples. Match the idioms with their meaning.
• I thought she was as hard as nails when I met her. • I have mixed feelings about the film.
• The family's hopping mad that she left them nothing. • He held out his hand. 'No hard feelings, right?'
• She's a strong woman, but she nearly went to pieces when Jack died.

Professor Paul was teaching his class. My classmates weren’t paying attention to him! They
looked bored and were doing other things. Andrew was in front of the Professor, he was sleeping
because it was quite early. Daisy was next to him; she was listening to rock music. Chad was sitting
behind Daisy; he was texting his girlfriend and Malcolm was next to him browsing the net. Finally,

was teaching.

My name is John Croft. For almost thirty years, I worked as a taxi driver for
Downtown Taxi, the biggest cab company in Vancouver, Canada. I drove my
cab five days a week from 3:00 in the afternoon until around 11:30 or 12:00 at
night. I took a lot of businesspeople home after work. Vancouver is a big city,
and there were traffic jams every afternoon. Traffic was always the worst from
4:30 until about 6:00, but it didn’t bother me.
25 a
Most passengers were nice enough. I liked to show tourists our beautiful city. A lot of tourists from
Asia visit Vancouver. In the evening, I took people out to restaurants, clubs, and the theater. It was
interesting to see people dressed in their best clothes for parties. The most interesting customer I had
was a man dressed as a bird!
My cab was always clean, and I always tried to be friendly. I always helped people with their bags. The
trip to the airport was usually my highest fare. Most passengers tipped me 15% or 20%. Sometimes
they just said, “Keep the change.” My largest tip ever was $100. I liked my job and made a comfortable
living. I don’t drive a taxi anymore—I’m retired. I have lots of free time, but sometimes I miss meeting
new people.

Scan the interview and circle the most appropriate heading 1, 2 or 3

Katharina Parsons at the age of 30 quit her job and has traveled
around the world. She’s been to 50 different countries and has
knocked big adventures off her bucket list.
26
Q:
A: Definitely in summer because that’s usually when students have their summer break, and
the cities are crowded. For some people, it’s a disadvantage, but for me it’s a chance to
meet new people, to enjoy the hot weather and take advantage of the longer days.
Q:
A: I wouldn’t say I have been anywhere truly disappointing. However, I went to New Delhi, in
India, in 2016 and even though it’s a famous city, it’s pretty noisy and polluted. People are
impolite and it’s almost impossible to get a rickshaw (Indian taxi).
Q:
A: I’d absolutely say Italy. It’s a place where you can visit many ancient museums, see old
sculptures on the streets and admire famous paintings. Besides, the food is amazing. Don’t
forget to visit the Colosseum and take a lot of pictures
Q:
A: I think the most memorable experience I’ve ever had while on vacation was in Brussels.
According to my friend Lily who tasted different chocolate brands, “Neuhaus Chocolatier”
is the best place for chocolates. I wouldn’t agree more.

Cozumel is a beautiful island in the Caribbean. It is a very popular place for people who like
the sun and tropical beaches. Cozumel is a small island but there are lots of different things
to do and see, like sailing or scuba diving. There are also beautiful beaches with crystal-clear
water, where most tourists spend their time. Unfortunately, it is a bit difficult to get around
the island because there aren’t many buses or taxis, but you can always get a motorcycle
and it’s quite cheap. I like Cozumel because it’s a beautiful, exciting place without the noise
of a busy city. I would really like to visit it again one day.

6. The Old Colonel

Read the text and complete the chart.
“The Old Colonel”
I think I have had a very interesting life. I'm 73 now and I don't work anymore. I was in the army for
51 years. I retired when I was 69. I have been to so many countries that I can't remember all of them.
I have been to Australia six or seven times and to South Africa three times. I have also been to Russia
once, but I didn't like it at all: too cold for me!
Because I have traveled a lot, I have seen a lot of wonderful things and have also eaten and drunk
some strange foods and drinks. I ate cat and rat in India and drank something called Mirto on a little
island in Italy many years ago.
“People say that love is the greatest thing” I agree. I have gotten married four times but never for
more than five years. I don't think women really understand me!
I have never been on television, but I have been on the radio once. It was a show about life in the

7. Modern Technology
Discuss the following question with your partner:
What do you think about the statement “Technology makes our lives easier.”?
Read the text. What’s the main idea of each paragraph? Choose one of the options for each
paragraph and write the letter on the line.
Modern Technology
A. Modern technology is changing the way we live our lives. Clever gadgets make everyday activities easier and
enable people to use their time effectively. But what impact will this change have in the future and is it really a
positive thing? People are busier than ever before.
Technological advances mean that things are often possible with the touch of a button. A hundred years ago,
however, things were very different. Everyday jobs, like doing the laundry, would take a whole day, and the
telephone was a new invention! Nowadays, almost every household has a washing machine and a dishwasher,
and there are more than 70 million mobile phones in use in the United Kingdom alone.
B. Research shows that around 28% of children in the UK are overweight or obese. Some people are concerned
that this is because young people spend too much time online and not enough time socializing with their friends
and playing outside. In the past, nearly all children walked to school because their parents didn’t have a car. They
didn’t have all the luxuries that many children have now, so they used their imagination and played outdoors in
the fresh air.
C. Years ago, when people wanted to stay in touch with their friends and family, they wrote letters. These days,
however, E-mail communication and social networking sites, such as Facebook, allow instant, free international
communication.
D. Online banking and shopping make essential activities possible from the comfort of our own homes. But what
effect will this have on town centers and shops? In some towns and cities, many shops are now empty, and a lot
of people think this is because more and more people choose to use the Internet for shopping.
E. There are many benefits of using technology but we need to be responsible in the choices we make. Modern
equipment is often very expensive and does not last a long time. It is important to consider how much we really
need these things and the impact they have on our health, the environment and society.
1. Our responsibility when choosing to use modern technology. ____

2. The impact of modern technology on everyday life over the past century. ____
3. How modern technology has changed communication. ____
4. The effect of modern technology on young people. ____
5. Modern technology in relation to shopping and retail. ____

The Experience of a Lifetime!

I studied engineering at UASLP. When I graduated, I decided to learn a foreign language. 1 _________because I
heard many people around the world speak English, so I thought it would be useful.
A friend who was a student at Cambridge University recommended that I study English there. An important
part of the course involved studying abroad. Well, at first, I didn’t really know which country to go to, but one
day 2_________. It looked like a great place to visit, so that’s where I went!
When I got to Cambridge, I was nervous because it was my first time abroad on my own. However, everyone at
the college was really friendly and welcoming.
On weekends, they took me and the other new students to visit a lot of fun places. They also organized activities
so we could meet the local people. Our English teacher was really good, too. I was only there for three months,
but I learned a lot.
Afterwards, I went back to Mexico and immediately started investigating other study-abroad options. This time
3
_____________ After one month in Montreal, I moved to Toronto. I really enjoyed my time in both places, and
felt my English improved a lot. In Montreal, I stayed with a host family as it was more economical. I worked
part-time in a restaurant and saved some money, so when I moved to Toronto, my budget was bigger, and I
rented an apartment. My four months there were the best of all. We spoke English all the time in class! I found
it very hard at first and sometimes got annoyed because I couldn’t understand everything. However, it was a
very effective way to learn and actually, by the time I left, I was fluent. That’s why, when I graduated a year
later from the UASLP with a degree in Engineering Management, I found a job in the U.S.A. I started working
for a manufacturing company in Detroit. Nowadays, I can’t believe how lucky I am. 4______________, and I
really enjoy my job. What’s more, shortly after settling here, I met an American girl named Emily. Six months
ago, we got married!
For me, studying abroad 5_____________ and becoming friends with people from all over the world. It gave
me some fantastic insights into different cultures. But it also gave me a great job, a wife… in fact, a whole new
life. I recommend the experience to everyone. Go on, give it a try!

CELEBRATION TIME!
Throughout the world people celebrate for many different reasons and at different times of the
year. Here are just a few examples of the reasons people have for celebrating.
First, let's go to Sweden where December 13th is the festival of St. Lucia. On this day the Swedes
traditionally have lussekatts, a kind of cake with raisins, for breakfast. It is also a tradition to light
candles in honor of St. Lucia. Also, in junior schools throughout the country, they choose one of
the girls to dress up and 1_____________________ to lead the St. Lucia Day procession.
Next is Hong Kong. The most important celebration of the year is, without a doubt, the
Chinese New Year. It usually takes place in February. It lasts for fifteen days and is a
time for families and friends to get together to eat, drink, and have fun. The main
reason for the celebration is to bring health, wealth, and happiness to the family for
the coming year. Just before the celebration begins, people 2__________________to
get rid of the previous year's bad luck. The highlight of the celebration is the street
parade led by a dancing dragon that contains up to fifty people.
The biggest celebration in Latin America , 3_____________________, takes place at
around the same time of year. The celebration lasts for three days. The biggest event
is the Samba School Parade in which about 50,000 people take part.
4
___________________and they dance along the grand parade avenue from seven
o'clock in the evening until the early hours of the morning.
Finally, we move to Vietnam where every autumn the Trung Thu Festival is held. The purpose of this
festival is to celebrate the beauty of the moon which looks bigger and brighter at this time than at
any other time of the year. Young people buy lanterns with candles which they light and take out
into the street at night. They also wear funny masks. 5_________________ represents the
brightness of the moon. Also, everyone eats Moon Cakes with specially prepared sweet fillings of
sugar and eggs.

Riding a bike in the most dangerous road in the world

High in the Andes, the North Yungas Road goes from la Paz, the highest capital city in the world, to Coroico in
the Yungas region of Bolivia. The road is only about ten feet wide and the Coroico River is 656 feet below.
Bolivians call it “El Camino de la Muerte” (Death Road) because of the number of accidents, and in 1995 it was
officially declared “the most dangerous road in the world”.
Since a new road opened in 2006, there are fewer busses and trucks on the old road. But now, thousands of
mountain bikers come from all over the world to take the most exciting ride of their lives. They start at La
Cumbre, 15,400 feet above sea level, and go down to 5,000 feet, traveling at nearly 50 miles an hour down the
dangerous road. During the rainy season, from December to March, only experienced bike riders can take this
ride, but some die every year on the road. So, why do people do it?
Andrew Jagoo is 26. He said after finishing the ride, “If you go to London, you have to see London Bridge, and if
you go to Sydney, you have to see the Opera House, and if you go to Bolivia, you have to go down the most
dangerous road.”
Mark Solberg is 22. He said, “A lot of people said it was fun, but I was scared of falling down and dying. I was
worried because I had no experience with mountain climbing. One mistake and you are dead. I asked myself a
thousand times , Why am I doing this?”
