1 Read the texts below and match them with the type of downshifting. For each text there is only one possible answer.
There are five types of downshifters according to Amy Salzman.
A. Urban Escape
B. Career Shifters
C. Back-Trackers
D. Self-Employers
E. Plateauers
… actively choose self-demotion or self-firing in order to pursue other goals or open more time for family. For example, one of my best friends left a highly successful 18 year corporate career and became a stay-at-home dad when their first child arrived. My mother stepped down from a long career as an elementary school teacher and became the most overqualified teacher’s aide in the Albany school district.
2)
… don’t self-demote, but rather choose to stay in place by turning down promotions and opportunities for advancement.
I was department chair several years ago and filled in as temporary chair last semester and both times was happy to leave this position of more responsibility, prestige and money to return to faculty status. I did this despite the fact that many, including my bosses and those in upper leadership, encouraged me to stay on even consider higher positions in the future.
3)
… make a seemingly small change to their career trajectory or employer that often makes a huge difference in lifestyle as opposed to moving to an entirely different career (so lawyer-turned-novelist doesn’t count, but a lawyer-turned-mediator would).
Shifting careers is more common than you’d think. Many accountants at Big 4 firms escape their intense work pressures and time demands by taking internal accounting positions at client companies.
4)
Many people choose to get off a corporate track and go into business for themselves. This process isn’t easy, and involves a lot of financial risk. But if you become your own boss without letting your business take over your life, self-employment can give you the autonomy to lead a better work-life balance.
5)
The cost of living in the orbit of large affluent coastal US cities pretty much precludes downshifting. Many people who can work remotely or shifted their careers to be more flexible, chose to move out of the city to where the lifestyle is slower and more affordable. Moving out of the city and taking a similar but less stressful/lower paying job in a more affordable area also be a financial net positive.

Hello Joe.
I was glad to receive a letter from you.
How are you doing? What's new?
Okay, I'll answer your questions. Yes, I often go to theaters and cinemas. I love it. It inspires me. I like to watch musicals and plays in the theater. One of my most popular musicals is "For Two Hares". From the performances I would choose "The Master and Margarita".
Well, now a little about my free time on weekdays. After school I usually go home. When I come, I change into home clothes and I become much more comfortable. Then I have lunch and go to rest. For about 40 minutes I lie down, check my social networks and watch videos. After that I go to do my homework. It takes an hour. Then I pack up for school and go to the shower. After the shower, I include an interesting movie or series. During which I often fall asleep.
Thanks for your attention. I look forward to your next letter.
Your friend, (після коми запиши своє ім'я).
Maggie is a habitual
shoplifter. She has been stealing since she was a child.
She has been caught many times before but because she was so young, she was always let off with a warning. Now she is sixteen and it's a different story. Last week she was arrested at the music store on Main Street for stealing CDs. 'I've known Maggie for my years', said Mr Gonzales, the manager. 'She is not a bad kid but she's got some problems. She needs help, not punishment.' Maggie agrees. 'If I had had more attention from my parents as a child, I might never have started steeling'
The judge ordered Maggie to see a psychologist to help her get over her problems.
