PART 2 (1,5 points) Read the text and answer the questions (0,3 points for each correct answer). Hi Mike, I hope you’re doing well. I wanted to talk to you about something important, and I could really use your advice. So, I’m thinking about starting the retirement process. It’s something that I’ve been considering for a while now, but I don’t really know how to go about it. The company, where I have worked for over 30 years, has some retirement plans, but the information isn’t very clear. My boss, who is usually very helpful, didn’t have all the answers either. I thought you might know more since your uncle, whose advice you often follow, went through this last year. I have some exciting plans for the future, which I hope to start soon after retiring. I want to travel and visit places that I’ve always dreamed of. There’s this small town in Italy, where my grandparents were born, that I really want to see. However, the whole retirement process seems a bit overwhelming. I’ve heard there are several forms to fill out and steps to follow, which I am not familiar with. Even though I’m excited about the future, I’m also nervous about making mistakes. Could you give me some advice on how to start the process? Maybe there’s a website or a person who can help to guide me. I remember you mentioned a workshop you attended when you were planning your career change. Do you think something similar exists for retirement? Although I feel ready to retire, I’m also worried about the financial aspect. I need to make sure everything is in order so that I don’t run into any issues later. Let’s catch up soon. I would love to hear more about what you’ve been up to. Thanks for always being there for me, especially during times when I need help the most. I’m looking forward to hearing your latest news as soon as posible. Regards, John. 11. John…. Has started to think about retirement just now. Has been thinking about retirement for some time. Has never thought about retirement. Started to think about retirement five years ago.
