1. Reading Comprehension Read and translate the following text. Consult a dictionary if necessary. My future profession

I am a
second-year student of Polotsk State University. I study at the
Faculty
of Economy and Finance. The faculty has 4 departments: the department
of
finance and credit, the department of economics, the department of
management, the department of accounting, control and analysis of
economic activities.
I study at the department of finance and credit. I feel that my
profession is very important nowadays. I’ll try to do my best to
become a good specialist.

The
university gives the students of our faculty all the opportunities to
get good
knowledge in different branches of economy. The training course
includes such subjects
as high mathematics, philosophy, economics, the history of Belarus,
economic
theory, foreign languages, informatics, etc. My major is finance and
credit.

The field of finance is broad
and dynamic. It directly affects the lives of every person and every
organization, private and public, large and small, profit-seeking and
non-profit. Finance and credit are needed to start up and expand a
business. They are essential for salaries, credit extension to
customers, advertising, insurance and many other day-to-day business
operations. The field of finance is generally subdivided into three
basic parts: financial markets and institutions, financial
management, investments.

Financial institutions such as
banks and insurance companies, along with other financial
intermediaries, facilitate the flow of funds from savers to
borrowers. They provide a forum in which suppliers of funds and
demanders of loans and investments can transact business directly.

Financial management is
concerned with how firms acquire and allocate funds. Its goal is to
maximize the owners’ wealth through effective financial planning and
analysis and adequate asset management.

Investment analysis focuses on
how individuals or portfolio managers select appropriate financial
and real assets.

138

All
in all finance can be defined as the art and science of managing
money. Decisions
made by financial managers affect the overall financial success of a
company.

Careers in
finance vary as widely as the scope of finance itself. A person with
a limited financial background would probably begin as a credit or
finance trainee.
Promotion opportunities in the sphere of financial markets and
institutions generally
lead to positions such as loan officer, branch manager or senior
analyst. Most
experienced individuals working in the field of financial management
are eligible for such positions as CFO, corporate comptroller and
treasurer. Senior employment opportunities in investments include
portfolio manager, senior investment analyst and investment
counselor.

In
short, there are a lot of positions available for university
graduates in the sphere
of finance and credit. It depends on one’s enthusiasm and hard work
what to become in future. Personally, I am ready to study hard to get
a good qualification and apply for a challenging well-paid job.
