    Brainstorming

    1 Think of as many good reasons as possible for studying business.

    2 The letter below discusses reasons for attending business school. Choose one verb for each of 1-10 to
    complete the letter with the correct collocations.

    Dear Sonia,

    You asked my advice about going to business school. Well, don’t miss out on a wonderful opportunity to
    gain/boost/make knowledge and to make/acquire/do skills which will serve you for a lifetime. As well as
    gaining/receiving/improving your employability and having/boosting/making your future earnings, you’ll
    get/have/obtain lots of fun going to/doing/getting parties and doing/making/learning friends. If you
    choose a good school you’ll enhance/receive/learn tuition from experienced professors and
    obtain/do/make practical experience that will really enhance/obtain/gain your CV. In your shoes, I
    wouldn’t hesitate for one moment!

    3 Look again at the list you made in 1. Are any of the ideas in the letter to Sonia the same as yours?
    Which phrases would you add to your list?

    4 With a partner, decide which collocations in 2 relate to professional rather than personal experience.
    Use them to write sentences about yourselves that you could use in a job interview.

    Reading and vocabulary

    5 Complete the extract about how to pay for studies with the verbs from the box.

    arrange, borrow, finance, obtain, subsidize, support, win

    If you’re not lucky enough to be married to a millionaire or to have parents with very deep pockets, you
    may be wondering how to … the next step in your education. Customs vary from country to country.
    One of the most popular solutions is to … a student loan, sometimes interest-free or tax-deductible, that
    is only repayable when you are in full-time work. Many students who are unable to … money from
    friends or family prefer to … themselves by working part-time, and some are able to … grants from local
    government or to … scholarships from their universities. If you’re already in work, try persuading your
    employer to … your studies – in some countries companies are bound by law to contribute towards
    further education.

    6 What are the advantages and disadvantages of the methods of financing your education mentioned in
    the article? Which ones would you use?

    would you like your own children to have?
