We dont have to become a math teacher or look for jobs closely related to math. The various skills we acquire in learning math may lead us to careers like technician, risk assessor, andeven salesperson and administrator. For another, higher education shouldnt be regarded only as a means to an end. It is also an end in itself. We come to college to broaden our horizons and improve ourselves. which helps make us learned and cultured, thus enhancing our competitiveness in the employment market.The very skill I want to acquire to help with my future job hunting is how to be a good team player because effective cooperation and coordination are indispensible to the successful completion of a task or project. should learn how to work together and develop good relationship with team members so that I can improve myself in such a win-win relationship created by team spirit.6-3 iExplore 1: Building your languageWords and expressions 1-11.astonishing2. slipped3.pounded4. genuine5.resumed6. pursuit7.obtainWords and expressions 1-21) go through2)believe in3)leafed through4) if it hadnt been for5)had no idea6)put7)in touch with8)was lost in9)a variety ofCollocations 1-11.lean2.translated3.pursuit4.leaned5. need6.translate7.need8. pursuitCollocations 1-21.
