the text and choose the correct option.Well, when I left school lots of my friends went to university, but it was
too expensive for me to go. I was unhappy because they seemed to be having a
great time. I just had a job at a building company in my hometown. It was OK.
At least I got paid.
I was planning to save up money to go to university, but then I read about
the apprenticeship in a magazine at work, and applied for it and got it! It’s
the best of both worlds, I think.
Well, the apprenticeship is for a big construction company and it’s four years
long. I work in a different department every four months and learn what happens
in each one. I’m in my second year now. Last year I worked in planning, safety
and administration.
Now I’m working in the environmental department, and next, I’m going to be
working in services. I do three days a week in the office or on site, doing a
normal job. Then for two days per week, we have lectures and classes at the
company’s offices.
They take on twelve a year, so at the moment there are just under fifty of
us altogether. Then the twelve people in my year are divided equally among the
three departments, so there are three other people currently working in the
environment department with me. The twelve people in my year group meet up
together on study days and we learn the same things.
Well,
I agreed with the company's requirement to work for them for three years after I finish the
training. But that’s OK. I can decide which department I work in. So far, my
favorite department is planning, so I might work there. There are opportunities
to work abroad too. The company does many projects in Indonesia. So, I’d like
to go there. After those three years, I don’t know.What is the main idea of the text?
