Have you ever wondered what it would be like to get your dream job? It can take years to get the
education and develop the skills you need for the perfect job. However, there is a way to experience your
dream job without having to get the required training or degree. Since 2004, Brian Kurth’s company,
Vocation Vacations, has been connecting people with mentors who have the jobs of their dreams.
Kurth had been working for a phone company before starting his own company. He didn’t like his job,
and he had a long time to think about it on his drive to and from work. He also thought about his dream
job while driving. He was interested in becoming a dog trainer, but he didn’t want to take any chances
and switch to a field he didn’t have experience in. He really wanted to know what the job was like and if
it was realistic for him to work towards his goal. So, he found a mentor – a dog trainer that could tell him
about the job and everything it involved. After that, he helped his friends find mentors to explore jobs Trang 3


they were interested in. They thought it was helpful to talk to people who had their dream jobs before
spending lots of time and money getting the training they needed for those jobs.
Kurth saw how much this helped his friends, so he decided to turn it into his business. He started
Vocation Vacations in 2004, and by 2005, the company was offering experience with over 200 dream
jobs. Today, about 300 mentors work with the company to share their knowledge about their jobs.
Customers pay to experience the job of their dreams and work with these mentors to see what a job is
really like. A “job vacation” costs between $350 and $3,000 and can be for one to three days. Many
people use Vocation Vacations to see if their dream job is a career path they want to continue. Others do
it just to experience the job of their dreams one time.
Vocation Vacations jobs are in the fields of fashion, food, entertainment, sports and animals. Many
people want to try glamorous jobs. For example, they want to try working as actors, music producers,
photographers and fashion designers. According to Kurth, some other popular dream jobs are working as
bakers, hotel managers and wedding planners.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the
correct answer to each of the questions from 35 to 42.
Public holidays in the United Kingdom, commonly referred to as bank holidays, are days where
most businesses and non – essential services are closed although an increasing number of retail businesses
(especially the larger ones) do open on some of the public holidays. There are restrictions on trading on
Sundays and Christmas Day. Four public holidays are common to all countries of the United Kingdom.
These are: New Year's Day, the first Monday in May, Christmas Day, and Boxing Day. Some banks open Trang 4


on some bank holidays. In Scotland, while New Year's Day and Christmas Day are national holidays,
other bank holidays are not necessarily public holidays, since the Scots instead observe traditional local
customs and practice for their public holidays. In Northern Ireland, once again, bank holidays other than New Year's
Day and Christmas Day are not necessarily public holidays. Good Friday and Christmas Day are
common law holidays, except in Scotland, where they are bank holidays. In Scotland the holiday on 1
January (or 2 January if 1 January is Sunday) is statutory, and 25 December is also a statutory holiday
(or 26 December if Christmas Day falls on a Sunday). Boxing Day is a holiday traditionally celebrated
the day following Christmas Day, when servants and tradesmen would receive gifts, known as a
"Christmas box", from their bosses or employers. Today, Boxing Day is the bank holiday that generally
takes place on 26 December. And 28 December only is given if Boxing Day is Saturday.
Like Denmark, the United Kingdom has no national day holiday marked or celebrated for its formal
founding date. Increasingly, there are calls for public holidays on the patron saints' days in England,
Scotland and Wales. An online petition sent to the Prime Minister received 11,000 signatures for a public
holiday in Wales on St. David's Day; the Scottish Parliament has passed a bill creating a public holiday
on St. Andrew's Day although it must be taken in place of another public holiday; campaigners in
England are calling for a bank holiday on St. George's Day; and in Cornwall, there are calls for a public holiday on St. Piran's Day.
