A career is an individual’s journey through learning, work, and other aspects of life. There
are a number of ways to define a career and the term is used in a variety of ways. Everybody who
has a career exactly wants to advance their career. If you want to advance your career, you
will have to make some careful decisions about which jobs you take. Consider a job offered for the
value it has to your career. It may mean sacrifices at first.
You may have to move to a different region or country to get a job that is right for you. You
may have to work late hours, at least temporarily. You might even have to take a lower salary for
a job that offers you the experience that you need. But you should never accept a job if it is not
related to your career goals.

you need or want. You will find yourself frustrated in such a position and consequently will not
perform your best.

There are many reasons why people become vegetarians, including personal health, the
environment, and the economy. A vegetarian is a person who does not eat meat, poultry, and fish.
Vegetarians mostly eat fruit, vegetables, legumes, grains, seeds, and nuts. Vegetarians also
consume eggs and dairy products, but they avoid meat products, such as beef, chicken stocks, and
gelatine.

diabetes, obesity, and high blood pressure. This may happen due to a healthy vegetarian diet,

prevent and treat certain diseases.

Question for numbers 8-9.
Drug users are actually ill people who need help. Rehabilitation is one of the main things they
should get. Instead of punishing drug users in prisons, the government should provide
rehabilitation for them.
Most users are actually victims of persuasive peddlers and they suffer from consuming the drugs.
Therefore, by rehabilitating them, we are actually helping them out from traps, which they might
accidentally step on.
If we only arrest drug users and send them to jail, this doesn't solve the problem as drug users
will still be addicted unless proper rehabilitation is imposed on them.
Providing rehabilitation programs for drug users and forcing them to participate in the programs
is better than only arresting them and doing nothing to their illness. Only drug dealers, traffickers,
and wholesalers should be imprisoned.
8. Most drug users get drugs from ...
(A) Jails
(B) Peddlers
(C) Traffickers
