1. Text 1: Navigating the World of Work

1.1. Grammatical Cohesion in Text One

a. Paragraph one Tough times mean finding or improving a job is a job. Nobody said this was going to be easy. In a good year finding your dream job takes time and energy. And this isn’t a good year. The recession may be over from a technical standpoint, but the bleak employment picture is a hangover we’re going to suffer through for the rest of this year and into the next. Our issue this month is here to help. b. Paragraph two Our package of rankings, data, and advice assesses the state of the career world in 2010 and offers a broad array of choices contemplate. We look at such essential topics as the best-paying careers; how to market yourself in the internet dominated job search sector; the best websites to use; how to get back into the workforce when you’ve taken time away; and how to find education alternatives to expand your options. c. Paragraph three Techies rule. One thing for sure is that the tech economy has arrived. As you can see from our list, most of the top jobs these days require math and science skills, whether for engineering, computer science, or medical specialities. Economists also are in high demand somehow, despite mostly failing to forsee that predicament we’re in. Maybe the next crop will do a better job. d. Paragraph four And if you can’t find a job or don’t like the one you have? Maybe it ’s time to go back to school. Getting an advanced degree can be a great way to weather a recession – as the surge of interest in graduate schools and particularly online education opportunities would suggest. As jobs start to trickle back into the market, they are sure to require higher skill levels. Most companies are doing more work with the fewer people, often because the best workers have become highly productive. The place to start is with our new America’s Best Graduated Schools, debuting this month and online at www.usnews.com. We have a lots of fresh, useful data about schools and programs that will help you find the right fit. We have more emphasis on online programs because sometimes the best choice may be a shorter-term certificate program to enhance a specific set of technical or management skills: Employers list exactly what they’re looking for, and online education institutions tailor their programs to meet the market needs. We also can show you how to pay for your schooling. These programs are expensive and, despite the economy, not getting any cheaper. But if you do it the right way, it can be an investment worth making. e. Paragraph five I ’d like to get your thoughts on the state of the job market. What are the lessons for the country and especially young people starting out? Are we matching our education to our workforce needs? Will there be enough good jobs to go around? Drop me a note at editorusnews.com. And tell your kids to do their math homework. The word one substitute the word job as a noun. So, it’s kind of noun substitution. Besides that, there is a word don’t that is followed by word like verb and they are called verbal substitution. There are three kinds of references in those paragraphs above. First, personal reference in word your 5 items, we 7 items, our 6 items, yourself 1 item, you 9 items, it 3 items, they 2 items, I 1 item, me 1 item, and their 2 items. Second, demonstrative reference in word this, there, these, here. All of them appear once in the text. Third or the last reference is comparative reference that is appear in word more 2 items and fewer 1 item. More and fewer belong to enumerative. Then, the word better, higher, and shorter belong to epithet. The word and 15 items, or 4 items and also 2 items is kind of addition conjunction. Because it coordinates or links by adding to the presupposed item. While the word next 2 items is temporality conjunction, because 1 item is causality conjunction, and the word but 2 items and despite 1 item is kind of adversative conjuntion because it indicate “contrary to expectation”.
