Read the following passage and choose the best answer to each of the questions from 31 to 35.

Many secondary school students begin thinking seriously about their future careers as they approach graduation. Choosing the right career path can be challenging because there are many different options available. Some students already have a clear goal, while others may still be exploring their interests and abilities.

One important step in career planning is understanding your own strengths. For example, students who enjoy solving problems and working with numbers may be suited for careers in engineering, finance, or information technology. On the other hand, students who enjoy helping others might consider becoming teachers, nurses, or social workers.

Another useful strategy is seeking advice from others. Teachers, parents, and career counselors can provide valuable information about different professions. They may also help students understand the educational requirements and working conditions of certain jobs.

In addition, gaining practical experience is extremely helpful. Students can participate in volunteer work, internships, or part-time jobs during their school years. These experiences allow them to develop important skills such as communication teamwork, and time management.

Finally, students should remember that career paths are not always fixed. In the modern world, many people change jobs several times during their lifetime. Therefore, learning new skills and staying flexible will help individuals adapt to changes in the job market.
