TRAVELING TO WORK
If you were going to choose a job that involves travel, what would be your first choice? There are many jobs available today that give people opportunities to travel. Although may traveling careers sound fantastic, they also have disadvantages.
Being an au pair is an excellent way to not only go to different countries, but to live in different places around the world and really get a feel for the culture. Au pairs lives with the families they are placed with and take of children. Many parents include au pairs in family events and vacations, so they experience many aspects of the new culture while on the job. However, many of the activities are centered around the children, so they may not get to experience many things that interest adults.
For people who want a bit more freedom working abroad, being an English teacher maybe a good choice. There are English teaching jobs in almost countries in the world. People teaching English in other countries often have a chance to travel on the weekends around the country. One drawback is that many teachers often wind up hanging out with other English teachers, and they don’t have time to learn the country’s language.
The nickname “roadie” implies that this job involves life on the road. Roadies are people who work and travel with bands and provide technical support. Roadies can be lighting and stage crew who set up the stage and break it down before and after events. They can also be technicians helping band members with their instruments. International tours take a band’s crew to cities around the world, often requiring air travel. However, the crew doesn’t get much time off, so they may travel to several countries without seeing much besides concert venues and hotels.
Similarly, flight attendants often travel to cities around the world, but they don’t see much besides the inside of airplanes and hotels. However, when they do have time off, they can often fly at no cost, and family member can sometimes fly free as well. Its is widely thought that a flight attendant job is glamorous, but flight attendants must deal with travel hassles, as well as security issues.
All jobs gave advantages and disadvantages whether or not you travel for work, so if you have the travel bug, keep these jobs in mind for the future.

Có thể suy ra từ đoạn văn rằng .
A. Những công việc gắn với việc phải đi đây đó có nhiều bất lợi hơn những công việc khác.
B. Giáo viên Tiếng Anh nước ngoài không biết ngôn ngữ của nước mà họ làm việc.
C. Công việc mà bạn chọn cần phải có nhiều thuận lợi hơn bất lợi.

Dịch bài
Nếu bạn định chọn một công việc liên quan đến du lịch, điều gì sẽ là lựa chọn đầu tiên của bạn? Ngày nay, có rất nhiều công việc cung cấp cho mọi người cơ hội để được đi du lịch. Mặc dù có thể những công việc liên quan đến du lịch nghe rất tuyệt vời, nhưng chúng cũng có những bất lợi.
Trở thành một “au pair” (tiếng Pháp, có nghĩa là một người trẻ nước ngoài, thường là phụ nữ, giúp việc nhà hoặc chăm sóc trẻ để đổi lại được ăn và ở miễn phí) là một cách tuyệt vời để không chỉ đi đến các quốc gia khác nhau, mà còn để sống ở những nơi khác nhau trên khắp thế giới và cảm nhận về văn hoá. Au pair sống chung với các gia đình và chăm sóc con cái của họ. Nhiều bậc cha mẹ cho au pair tham gia các sự kiện gia đình và kỳ nghỉ, do đó, họ được trải nghiệm nhiều khía cạnh của nền văn hóa mới trong khi làm việc. Tuy nhiên, nhiều hoạt động chỉ tập trung xung quanh trẻ em, do đó họ có thể không trải nhiệm được nhiều thứ gây hứng thú cho người lớn.
Đối với những người muốn tự do hơn một chút khi làm việc ở nước ngoài, trở thành một giáo viên tiếng Anh có thể là một lựa chọn tốt. Có nhiều công việc dạy tiếng Anh ở hầu hết các quốc gia trên thế giới. Những người dạy tiếng Anh ở các nước khác thường có cơ hội đi du lịch vào những ngày cuối tuần trên khắp đất nước. Một trở ngại đó là nhiều giáo viên thường chỉ giao thiệp với các giáo viên tiếng Anh khác, và họ không có thời gian để học ngôn ngữ của đất nước đó
Biệt hiệu "roadie" hàm ý rằng công việc này liên quan đến cuộc sống trên đường. Roadies là những người làm việc và đi cùng với ban nhạc và cung cấp hỗ trợ về mặt kỹ thuật. Roadies có thể là làm trong đội ngũ ánh sáng và ban hậu cần- những người dựng sân khấu và chịu trách nhiệm về nó trước và sau các sự kiện. Họ cũng có thể là kỹ thuật viên giúp đỡ các thành viên của ban nhạc với công cụ của họ. Các tour du lịch quốc tế đưa đoàn của ban nhạc đến các thành phố trên khắp thế giới, thường phải đi bằng máy bay. Tuy nhiên, đoàn không có nhiều thời gian, vì vậy họ có thể đi du lịch đến một số quốc gia mà không thăm thú được nhiều ngoài các địa điểm tổ chức hoà nhạc và khách sạn.
Tương tự như vậy, các tiếp viên hàng không thường đi du lịch đến các thành phố trên khắp thế giới, nhưng họ không chiêm ngắm được gì nhiều ngoài quang cảnh bên trong máy bay và khách sạn. Tuy nhiên, khi họ có thời gian nghỉ, họ thường có thể bay miễn phí, và thành viên gia đình đôi khi không cần phải trả phí máy bay. Người ta cho rằng công việc tiếp viên hàng không rất hấp dẫn, nhưng các nhân viên tiếp đó phải giải quyết các rắc rối về chuyến bay, cũng như các vấn đề về an ninh. Tất cả các công việc đều có những thuận lợi và bất lợi cho dù bạn có đi lại hay không, vì vậy nếu bạn có đam mê về du lịch, hãy nhớ những công việc này trong tương lai

Just as you designate and separate your physical workspace, you should be clear about when you’re working and when you’re not. You’ll get your best work done and be most ready to transition back to the office if you stick with your regular hours. Plus, if your role is collaborative, being on the same schedule as your coworkers makes everything much easier.
“The biggest difference between working from home and working in the office is that you are in charge of your environment and have to treat yourself like an employee,” Yurovsky says. This means holding yourself accountable, but also recognizing when enough is enough, just as a good manager might. “If you feel yourself extending your work hours because you are not doing anything in the evening...tell yourself it’s time to put work away, recharge, and start tomorrow with a fresh mind. The work will be there in the morning.”
If you live with other people, this separation is even more critical. Communicate with the people whom you live with to establish boundaries so you can cut down on distractions during the workday—and then disconnect and give the people you care about your full attention. Having a separate time and space to work will allow you to be more present in your home life.
