for each job.
Review
Last nights TV
The best thing on TV last night was Faking It. It takes
someone with no experience in a particular job and sends
them to live and train with an expert for four weeks. They
then have to take part in a contest against professionals,
and a panel of expert judges decides which participant
is the faker. At the beginning of the programme, we met
Ed working in a fast food van in all weathers, selling chips
and burgers. In this job he didnt need to do much apart
from arrive at work on time and be reasonably pleasant
to people. All this changed as he had to learn how not
to be pleasant to people as a head chef in a top London
restaurant.

TECHNOLOGY OPINION
Nowadays the idea that learning is only
for children is obviously not true. It
seems to me that as an adult you cant
rely on what you learnt in school to
get by any longer. Technology at work
and at home, such as computerized
household appliances, tablets and mobile
phones, are an essential part of everyday
life. On top of that, all these devices
are constantly developing. So, if you
want to be able to function in the 21st
century, you have to keep learning and
developing, too!
