Skills for the 21st-century workplace
1. Read and briefly explain why each one is
important according to the text.
We need to develop all kinds of skills to survive in the
21st century. Some, like ICT skills and knowledge of the
digital world, are taught explicitly in schools in the UK.
Here are five less obvious one’s for you to think about.
These are the sorts of skills that employers may ask you
questions about in interviews, so it’s a good idea to
think about how good you are in these areas. What are your strengths and weaknesses? Imagination: In
the age of technology that we are living in now, it is no longer enough to keep on making the same
products. Employers need people who can imagine new approaches and new ideas. Think: Think of an
object or gadget you use every day. How could it be improved? Can you think of three improvements?
Problem solving: Employers will value workers who are able to see problems before they happen and
come up with creative solutions. Think: Imagine you are organizing an end-of-term social event at school.
Think of some problems that you could face. Can you think of any solutions?
Communication skills: Workers will have to be good communicators. They will have to be able to
negotiate and discuss key issues and also write in a clear way without using too many words. Think: How
do people communicate with each other in the 21st century?
Critical analysis: Employers want workers who are able to recognize the difference between information
that can be believed and false information. Think: Use the internet to find out three facts about a celebrity
or famous figure. Can you verify the information by checking other websites?
Decision making: Individual workers have a growing amount of responsibility. It is important to be able to
evaluate a situation and be confident in making a decision.
Think: Which three things could you do to (a) be healthier (b) do better at school and (c) help others?
Make a decision now to do at least one of these things. Then … just do it!

Dylan, Hello!
Dear friend, hoping that you are in the best way, a long time without seeing you, you know I am
now remembering the good times we had as children, those cool moments that we had every
afternoon with the boys from the neighborhood.
Do you remember when we played hide and seek and at that moment you fell into the puddle
what a laugh with the boys at that time, the time we also went to the river to fish and we took
those little fish and we took them home to create them and they ended up dying in one case us.
As a last memory of the many that you have remembered, the farewell we did with all our friends
when you left the country, I will never forget that barbecue, so many laughs, moments and
experiences that will live forever in our hearts.
With great affection my brother sent you this email, I hope you can read it soon and I can see
you when you return to the country.
