高中英语 Unit 5 Meeting your ancestors Section Ⅰ

Get your driving license Most permanent jobs in fieldwork require you to drive as
part of the job. It is hard to fit in lessons if you are away from home digging, so be sure to plan this into your vacations. Tell your parents or guardian they need to invest a little bit more in your future sooner rather than later! If you have a disability that means you cannot drive, you should look at this issue carefully.
Don’t wait until after your final exams. Follow these simple tips while you are at university and give yourself a head start!
Get archaeological experience Start with projects run by universities or local societies. There are volunteer opportunities available during the summer; having experience on a range of digs will help your CV ( 简历). Working in a museum or record office also provides valuable experience. Unpaid as the work is, it helps the organizations and shows employers you are interested.

Ⅱ.Are you familiar with these pictures? Can you say something about the people in the pictures?
Make sure your CV is strong Most projects and jobs will ask you to send in a completed
application form or a CV. This CV is about your employability, not just your educational achievements. You need to tell people about your archaeological experience, your skills such as graphics (制图学), team working, presentation and communication skills. Summarize these skills and experience in a covering letter (附信).
Get the right range of experience Try to work on different types of projects and do different
things. If you are on a dig work with the environmental samples, keeping records, whether it is through planning, filling out record forms or surveying, is particularly important. Understanding why things are recorded and the significance of those observations is vital. Don’t be afraid to ask to do this — supervisors (监察人) will be pleased you are taking an interest.
