19th century (1868) to the end of 20th century (1994), during the while new buildings
were mainly located along the railway station (est. 1909) and the motorway (est.
1970).
The first proof of change was a very fast growing occurred in a small area located
between the main road and Chorleywood Park over a 15 year – period only (1868 –
1883). Then, from 1883 to 1922 a second area has been developed in size twice
bigger than the earliest one, but more slowly, because it has grown in a 30 year –
period. After 48 years (1922 – 1970), the urbanization process has been continued
with the manifestation of a third area bigger three times than the previous one and
mainly located along the railway road. Next, the biggest increase in population has
been occurred within the next 24 year – period (1970 – 1994), and featured by a huge
spreading of houses into a fourth area more bigger than the previous ones. It is during
the last event (1970 – 1994) that the population’s density has been concentrated
WRITING TASK 2
The idea of having a single career is becoming an old fashioned one. The
new fashion mil be to have several careers or ways of earning money and
further education will be something that continues throughout life.
Use your own ideas, knowledge and experience and support your examples and
relevant evidence.
Actually, the job sector is more flexible than on the past and this evidence could
lead to a changing mind, in which the old single path career is becoming vanished. To
develop this topic, I will structure the essay giving, first of all, a brief explanation of
what involves having a single career. Then, a description of the main features of the
“new era” jobs and what the European Union is doing to promote this phenomena.
During the last twenty – year period (1992 – 2012) the job market situation has
been changed significantly and the concept of career as well. Previously in fact, the
peoples’ though was concentrated upon a single career path, who started with a job
after the school’s completion and finished with the beginning of the retirement period.
In this case there was a huge interval of time during the while people could improve a
limited type of skills provided by the school’s formation. By this I mean, that if a
person got a job as clerk, he or she performed it until the retirement period. With no
Actually, a lot of things are changed and the single job path, so important on
the past, now it is vanished. In fact, the job market is pointing on part time and
temporary jobs. The first one is a job where the employee must works up to four hours
a day, from Monday to Friday. Sometimes, a part time job could be temporary, and in
this case a worker can performs his duties just for six months to up to one year. All of
this is regulated by a job contract and the relationship employer – employee finishes
when the contract expires. This is a clear evidence of the fact that a single career does
not exist anymore. However, it is an advantage because people can manage their time
in a more flexible way than before. For example, they can do courses (i.e.: computer,
language, art and so on) and this can be used to improve their qualifications.
Other phenomena are: job mobility and life – long learning. The first one is the
months) and the second one is a process who promotes the gathering of new
professional skills during the entire working life. A concrete case comes from the
European Union, who is responding actively to this way. For example, among the
different projects financed every year, there is the opportunity for graduates or
qualified workers, to spend six months or more at the pharmaceutical company Glaxo
– Smith Kline based in Berlin. By consequence, this type of experience can provide the
In conclusion, I would say that, if until twenty or thirty years ago the job market
was ruled by fixed paths, the “ new era” is dominated by the possibility of a multi –
path career. The last one leads to a time management more efficient than before
reflected in an extra curricula education. Very important is also the European Union’s
role, who acts and supports the development of work’s flexibility by job mobility.
