12. a) Read and find the Participles. $
Although all major life changes are difficult to cope with, perhaps none is more traumatic than unexpectedly losing your job. While working, people constantly complain about stress, lack of freedom and so on. Having found themselves without employment they begin to realize how lucky they were to have a monthly pay packet to depend on. Money is not the main problem either. To a certain extent we all define ourselves by what we do. A job gives us a feeling of self- respect, while providing a dependable structure for our day. Having been dismissed people often find themselves wondering who they are and what the purpose of their life is. This is, of course, an illogical reaction since you are still the same person you were while employed. It’s best not to take your dismissal personally because companies all over the world are making drastic labour-cuts. Therefore, if you happen to be one of those employees dismissed, it is probably not because of your personality or the quality of your work. Also, keep in mind, that when you succeed in finding suitable work, your self-confidence will get an enormous boost. A positive attitude is the key to coping with this very difficult and increasingly common problem.
