Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, D to indicate the correct

answer to each of the questions from 27 to 31.

People commonly complain that they never have enough time to accomplish tasks.

The hours and minutes seem to slip away before many planned chores get done.

According to time management experts, the main reason for this is that most people
fail to set priorities about what to do first. They get tied down by trivial, time-
consuming matters and never complete the important ones.
One simple solution often used by those at the top is to keep lists of tasks to be
accomplished daily. These lists order jobs from most essential to least essential and
are checked regularly through the day to access progress. Not only is this an effective
Way to manage time, but also it serves to give individuals a much- deserved sense of
satisfaction over their achievements. People who do not keep lists often face the end
of the work day with uncertainty over the significance of their accomplishments,
which over time can contribute to serious problems in mental and physical health

answer to each of the questions from 32 to 39

There are many mistakes that people make when writing their resume (CV) or

completing a job application. Here are some of the most common and most serious.

The biggest problem is perhaps listing the duties for which you were
responsible in a past position: all this tells your potential employers is what you were
supposed to do. They do not necessarily know the specific skills you used in executing
them, nor do they know what results you achieved - both of which are essential. In
short, they won’t know if you were the best, the worst or just average in your position.
The more concrete information you can include, the better. As far as possible,
provide measurements of what you accomplished. If any innovations you introduced

saved the organization money, how much did they save? If you found a way of

increasing productivity, by what percentage did you increase it?

Writing what you are trying to achieve in life - your objective - is a waste of

space. It tells the employer what you are interested in. Do you really think that

employers care what you want? No, they are interested in what they want! Instead, use

that space for a career summary. A good one is brief - three to four sentences long. A

good one will make the person reviewing your application want to read further.

Many resumes list ‘hard’ job-specific skills, almost to the exclusion of

transferable,

or ‘soft’, skills. However, your ability to negotiate effectively, for example, can be just

as important as your technical skills.

All information you give should be relevant, so carefully consider the job for
which you are applying. If you are applying for a job that is somewhat different than
your current job, it is up to you to draw a connection for the resume reviewer, so that
they will understand how your skills will fit in their organization. The person who
reviews your paperwork will not be a mind reader.

If you are modest about the skills you can offer, or the results you have
achieved, a resume reader may take what you write literally, and be left with a low
opinion of your ability: you need to say exactly how good you are. On the other hand,
of course, never

stretch the truth or lie.

Question 32: What topic does the passage mainly discuss?

A. The way how to write the resume for job application.

B. The mistakes people make when applying for a job.

Question 36: According to the passage, what information should candidates include in
