the changes that you undergo and the changes that take place in the labor market.

decision-making situations that face you in the future will be solved or made any easier. 择业规划并不能保证你未来所面临的所有问题、困难或要做出抉择的情形都能得到解决或变得容易解决。

【解析】名词性从句that all the problems, difficulties, or decision-making situations that face you in the future will be solved or made any easier作guarantee的宾语；该从句内嵌有另一个由that引导的定语从句，即从句that face you in the future修饰all the problems, difficulties, or decision-making situations，that在从句中作主语。

14) But career planning should help you to approach and cope better with new

problems, such as deciding whether or not to enter educational or training programs, deciding whether or not to change jobs, … a person.(Line 80)但是，择业规划能够帮助你面对或更好地处理新的问题，诸如决定是否要接受某方面的教育或培训，是否要更换工作，还能帮助你分析所面临的困境或与某人交往中所存在的困难。

such as引导的动名词短语举例说明前面的new problems。

How to Prepare for a Job Interview

If you wish to pursue your professional career successfully, it is essential to find a satisfactory job. A job interview, in some cases, can be of critical importance for you to obtain a job you like.

Since a job interview is so important, we should be well-prepared for it. Here are some of my suggestions.

First of all, consider your qualifications and background and decide whether they satisfy /meet the requirements /needs/demands of the job. If they do, get familiar with them in case you are asked about them during the interview.

Secondly, remember your special abilities or hobbies, such as playing basketball or chess. Mention them if necessary. They may surprisingly attract the interviewers.

My final advice is that you should take special care of your appearance, the first impression is very important.

I believe that the above suggestions will help you a lot in a job interview. Nevertheless, they are not quite enough. Self-confidence, proper use of words and ways of talking also play a very important role in an interview.

Conclusion

The new words and reading material of this unit are a little bit difficult. The topic is unfamiliar to Ss, so Ss’ vocabulary on the topic is too limited to express their view freely. Ss can digest the key points and difficulties. Five language skills are covered, and Teaching aims are achieved. T helps Ss with the abilities of self-study, effective communication, information analysis, and thinking in English. Ss are going to process English material and attempt to express their own opinions; taste the joy and success of English communication; and cultivate Ss’ team-working spirits.
