1. Denmark, a small kingdom in northern Europe, has a lot of interesting places for tourists with children. For example, Legoland, a theme park, has become the largest tourist at­traction in Denmark outside its capital Copenhagen. And Copenhagen itself is world famous for its Tivoli Gardens amusement park, which opened in 1843 in the heart of the city. The park offers ballet and circus performances, restau­rants, concerts, and fireworks displays.

2. Denmark is the smallest Scandinavian country, consisting of the Jutland peninsula, north of Germany, and over 400 islands of various sizes, some inhabited and linked to the mainland by ferry or bridge. Throughout the country, low hills provide a constant change of attractive views; there are also cool and shady forests of beech trees, large areas of open land covered with rough grass, a beautiful lake district, sand dunes and white cliffs on the coast.

3. More than four-fifths of all Danes live in towns. The main cities represent a combination of medieval buildings, such as castles and cathedrals, and modern office buildings and homes. Denmark’s high standard of living and wide-ranging social services guarantee that the cities have no poor districts. Most people in the cities live in flats. But in the suburbs many also live in single-family houses.

 

4. Denmark’s fine beaches attract many visitors, and there are hotels and pensions in all major seaside resorts. Besides, excellent inns are to be found all over the country. Some are small and only serve local travellers, but others are adapted to the tourist and have established reputations for both international dishes and local specialities. There arc also private rooms to let, usually for one night, and chalets all over Denmark.

5.There is a wide selection of places to go out in the evening, particularly in Copenhagen. Jazz and dance clubs in the capital city are top quality and world-famous performers appear regularly. There are numerous cafes, beer gardens and speciality beer bars. Entertainment available includes opera at the recently opened opera house in Copenhagen, ballet and theatre at a number of places in the larger cities, and live music of all kinds.

6. Most Danes eat four meals a day — breakfast, lunch, dinner, and a late-evening supper. Breakfast generally consists of cereal, cheese, or eggs. Dinner, which includes fish or meat, is usually the only hot meal. A traditional Danish dinner consists of roast duckling stuffed with apples, served with red cabbage and boiled potatoes. The other Danish meals consist mostly of sandwiches.

7.Almost all adult Danes can read and write. Danish law requires children to attend nine years of school. Primary school consists of the first seven grades, and secondary school lasts from three to five years. A five-year secondary school student can enter a university. Denmark has three universities. The University of Copenhagen is the oldest and largest. It was founded in 1479 and has about 24,000 students.

1. As college graduation approaches and I prepare to enter the working world, I’ve had a hard time deciding what I should do with my life. On the one hand, I wonder: am I an entrepreneur—the sort of innovative person who could start and grow my own business? Then at other times I think: would it be better to accept a position in a large corporation and climb the ranks? As I get ready to make the transition from student to full-time employee, I find myself thinking about these questions quite often.

The good news is, I think I’ve finally got some answers.

2. I’ve always been interested in accounting and technology, and for the past year, I’ve been interning at a large telecommunications company. It’s been a great way for me to get some work experience and to see if this particular field is right for me. My internship has shown me that telecommunications isn’t really the kind of work that I want to do long term. Nevertheless, I’ve learned a lot about communicating, collaborating, and dealing with office politics3 in the workplace. I know that I’ll be able to use these skills in whatever job I do.

3. When I began my final year in college last fall, I started perusing the job postings, looking for a full-time (paying) position in accounting. At the time, I noticed job ads for all of the public accounting firms, and though I thought they were interesting,

I ignored them. I assumed they were for the December graduates. Was I ever mistaken! It turns out that they were postings for regular May graduates like me! When I realized my error, I quickly put together a resume and contacted professors for recommendations. I eventually interviewed with several companies, and within a week I’d gotten a job. I felt relieved; I had taken cafe of my future. It was November, and I wouldn’t even be starting until the following July.

4. Though I interviewed with different companies, I decided to accept a position with a large accounting firm, primarily because I’d already interned in the corporate world and wanted to gain more experience working for a large institution. Also, compared with the telecommunications company I’d been at, accounting firms employees tend to work fewer hours for more pay.

5. Why did I feel the need to get a job so quickly? Maybe I was anxious about earning an income and supporting myself after graduation, but I prefer to think I accepted the position because of what I could learn. At this point in my life, I believe that working for a large accounting firm will enable me to meet different people and utilize the skills I’ve acquired in school and during my internship. I also think it will provide me with the experience I need to grow in this field. However, once the job becomes predictable—once I stop learning and being challenged—then there won’t be any incentive for me to continue with this company. At that point, I’ll have to make some decisions about what I want to do next.

6. Ultimately, I see myself doing one of two things in life: becoming an executive6 somewhere or starting something successful on my own. Do I have lofty7 goals? Sure I do. Do I know how, when, or where I will achieve them? Not at all. For this reason, I’d rather start out at a big company and see where it

leads me. Eventually, I will either develop something on my own or continue to learn and do well as an employee. In any case, I know that I’ll be given many new opportunities in my job with the accounting firm, and I’ll do my best to take advantage of those.

7. With all that said, I’m only 20 years old: I have time to make decisions. At this point, I’m reluctant to make a permanent career choice, and in reality, I may never make such a choice. In the end, I might become a corporate executive somewhere and start my own company. Whatever happens, I’m sure I'll do fine. Anyway, it’s impossible to predict the future, and so for now, I just want to see how it goes with my first job out of college.
