Discussion Topic: Retirement Goals

Your takeaway at the end of this lesson: enough vocabulary and well-managed ideas to confidently discuss the importance of planning for retirement.

How to prepare for retirement is a hot topic for a lot of people. Retiring is a reward for years of hard work and can be a time that marks the passage from a life of work to a life of accomplishment and choice. Getting rid of the daily grind, workplace politics, or a difficult coworker, can seem like a great relief. The greater freedom we have to decide what to do with our time and daily life is priceless. But for some retirees who used to be strongly defined by their profession,

the transition can be not an easy relaxing experience. The day they can no longer call themselves an engineer or a teacher can be a downfall. They’re also worried about the toll it takes on their quality of life and relationships. No matter how long we’ve been waiting for it, retirement is a major life change that needs proactive planning. In this lesson you’re going to learn more about how one can have a smoother experience when retiring and build on your ideas and vocabulary to discuss it with others in English.
