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.
Accepting a job that is not within your career path will not give
you the skill or experience you need or want. You will find yourself
frustrated in such a position and consequently will not perform
your best.

Vegetarians

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

gelatin.

The government should provide a rehabilitation Program for Drug
Users
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
D. Wholesalers
9. Sending drug users to prison is not a good solution because ...
A. They can't consume harmful drugs.
B. They are treated normally.
C. They may still be infected with harmful drugs.
D. They can be freed as soon as possible.
