Pam Mc Allister Johnson made history as the first black woman publisher of a leading white daily newspaper.
Johnson was taught to have a ‘very, very strong self-concept’ (самооценка). She believed that she could be anything and do anything she wanted to. She worked as a reporter and radio and television interviewer / announcer (ведущий новостных программ). She taught at the College. Knowing that journalism was the area she wanted to be involved in, she left her teaching position and began working as a general executive ([ig΄zekjutiv] генеральный директор) at the Bridgewater New Jorsey, Courier-News courier ([΄kuәriә] курьер). Johnson soon moved up the ladder to the position of assistant to the publisher of the Ithaca ([΄iθәkә] Итака, город штата Нью-Йорк) Journal and then became its publisher. Pam considers herself a real go–getter (предприимчивый делец).
People who know her say that Pam Johnson is a highly motivated, intelligent person with a gift for understanding and working with people. She is a well-organized, high energy person. Even at home, her philosophy is much the same. She and her husband try to encourage ([in΄kʌriʤ] – поощрять) their two children ‘to learn everything you can and think positively’.

Task II
Read and translate the email.
Hi Jane
I just wanted to let you know that I have a new job - I'm now a designer for Futures Design. It feels good to be in work again, as I was getting fed up of being unemployed. The company produces furniture for hotels and bars around the world. I spend most of my time working on ideas for a chain of bars in London. At the
moment, I'm in charge of developing some interesting but comfortable chairs! I also deal with the clients, who can be very demanding!
I like the team but we work long hours - I get to work at 8.00 a.m. and don't finish until 7.00 p.m. The pay is quite good, but it's only a temporary job - a nine-month contract to cover maternity leave.
Anyway, I hope everything is OK with you. Send me your news soon.
All the best
Jake

max: -------- Hi Paula. How's the job hunting going?
paula: ----- Oh, OK. I applied for a job in sales and I had an interview last week. There were about ten other interviewees sitting outside the interview room when I got there, so there's a lot of competition.
max: -------- I'm sure you'll do well. I was impressed with your CV when I read it. Do you need a character reference? I can write one for you if you like.
paula: ----- Oh, thanks, Max. I'll let you know if they ask for one. The next stage of the selection process is psychometric tests.
max: -------- Oh, I've never done those before, but I had a handwriting analysis once. They said I was a dreamer and couldn't take risks - a bit strange as I now have my own company!
paula: ----- Yes, that is odd. Anyway, I must go now. I want to look at the on-line job ads.
max: -------- OK, see you soon and good luck.
