My
future career

What
do you want to be when you grow up? We have heard this question many times
during our school years. Perhaps, it was difficult for us to give a definite
answer earlier. But now we understand that the time to choose our future profession
has come. Finishing school is the beginning of an independent life for millions
of school-leavers. Many roads are open before us: technical schools, colleges
and universities. Centuries ago there were only a few jobs: people were
farmers, bakers, butchers or carpenters. Today there are thousands of different
kinds of jobs, and new ones are constantly appearing. No wonder that it is not
an easy thing to make the right choice.

When choosing a future career, we should consider different
factors. In my opinion, money is one of the most important factors when you
make a choice. There are highly paid jobs and low-paid jobs. For example, a
businessman, a president or a film star, are highly paid jobs. A worker, a
doctor or an engineer, are low-paid jobs. I think everybody wants to earn as
much money as possible. Training, promotional prospects and conditions should
be also taken into account.

On the other hand, it’s good when you get satisfaction from your
job. It is very important to choose a profession that suits your interests. In
my opinion, a job should be interesting and socially important. Some jobs are
considered to be more suitable for men and others for women. For example, the
professions of secretary or nurse are more suitable for women. A lifeguard or a
pilot are more likely the jobs for men. You should also decide whether you want
to work indoors or outdoors.

To make the right choice, you should take into account your traits
of character. It goes without saying that to become a good doctor you must be
patient, caring and kind. Teacher’s work requires love for children, profound
knowledge of subjects, and the ability to explain. A secretary has to be
efficient and careful in order to do her work quickly and accurately.
Salespeople need to be friendly and persuasive, to get people buy their
products.

There are so many people who influence us in choosing our
occupation. Parents and friends play a very important role in our choices.

My father works for an international company as a managing
director. It is a highly paid job and it offers a lot of opportunities. You can
travel abroad and meet different people. My father is a friendly person and he
is easy to talk to. He thinks that I must choose my future profession according
to my taste and preferences. I respect him and I want to become a businessman,
too.

I have always been interested in economics and I am good at Maths.
I have an aptitude for working with people, and I think I’m rather
communicative and have good social skills. I have good analytical abilities and
I am good at problem-solving. Besides, I am good at English. English has become
the standard language for all kinds of international business communications.
To know English today is absolutely necessary for every businessman.  To
become a successful businessman you should know a lot. So after finishing
school I want to enter the university and to study marketing or management.
Management deals mainly with people. A manager is a person who directly
supervises people in an organization. Managers spend a great deal of time
communicating, coordinating and making decisions affecting the daily operations
of their organization. Almost everything, a manager does, involves decisions,
and in decision-making there is always uncertainty and risk. So managing is a
very interesting, but difficult, job.

Marketing deals with market research and commercial activity in
general. It involves analyzing business situations, evaluating market
opportunities, developing market strategies and controlling their implementation.
It is important for a specialist in marketing to be flexible and prepared to
make adjustments where necessary, as it is unlikely that any marketing plan
will succeed exactly as planned.

I haven’t decided yet what to study. But I still
have time to think and to choose.

TEENS
At Spotlight on Russia we get a lot of emails from children all over the country. Here are two of them written in completely different parts of Russia.

Spotlight on Russia hears from two young Russians from very different parts of the country

Hi. My name is Sergey Demidov and I’m 13 years old. I live in Yakutsk which is the capital of the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia) in northern Siberia.
I love my city in the winter when the clean, crisp snow covers everything. The temperature often falls below −40 degrees, so we wear fur caps and coats, thick woollen mittens and unty which are fur boots made of deer skin. Today it’s bright and sunny. It’s only −25˚C outside, so I’m going skiing with my family for the first time this year.
I go to a Russian school, but we have lessons in our native Yakut language as well. My father plays the khomus – a traditional Yakut instrument, and my mother does embroidery with beads. She also makes hats and her friends sometimes ask her to make outfits for our national summer holiday. It’s called Yhyakh, and it’s a great chance for me to perform a dance called Ohuokhai and to drink kumys – a national drink that’s made from mare’s milk.

Hello, I’m Irina Smirnova. I’m 14 and I live in Kolomna – one of the biggest and most beautiful towns in the Moscow region. Kolomna is over 800 years old and a lot of tourists come here to see the old Kremlin, the churches and monasteries, as well as the museums and art galleries.
I love my town because there’s so much to do here. In the summer, I like to go rowing and sailing on the Oka River, and we can go ice−skating at any time of the year in our new Ice Palace. Dmitry Dorofeyev, the Olympic silver medallist (2006), and Ekaterina Lobysheva, Olympic bronze medallist (2006 and 2014), are from Kolomna and we have a long history of success in this sport.
There are more than 30 schools in Kolomna and mine is one of the new ones. In the spring and autumn, my class goes to the Park of Peace after lessons to look after the plants and flowers. Tomorrow is Sunday and we’re going to see a play at the Maly Theatre in Moscow. It only takes us an hour and a half to get there by bus and I’m really looking forward to it.

Make sentences using them. — Прочитайте примеры. Какие слова мы используем с исчисляемыми/неисчисляемыми существительными? Какие мы используем в утвердительных, отрицательных предложениях, а какие — в вопросительных? Составьте предложения с ними.

Комментарий: Some, any, much, many, few, little — это местоимения, указывающие на какое-то количество чего-либо. Правила их использования достаточно простые. Some и any переводятся «немного, несколько». Они указывают на небольшое количество чего-то.

Some употребляется в утвердительных предложениях. В сочетании с неисчисляемыми существительными оно обозначает какое-то количество. В сочетании с исчисляемыми существительными во множественном числе some переводится как «несколько» или «некоторые». А при использовании с исчисляемыми в единственном числе — как «какой-либо».

• There is some pure water in the bottle. — В бутылке есть немного чистой воды.
• Some students prepared interesting reports. — Несколько студентов (некоторые студенты) подготовили интересные доклады.
• Some girl has just called you. — Какая-то девушка только что звонила тебе.

Обратите внимание! Some или его производные (something, somebody и т.д.) также употребляется в предложениях, просьбах или когда мы предполагаем утвердительный ответ на свой вопрос:

• Would you like something to drink? — Пить будете?
• Can I have some warm milk? — Можно мне немного теплого молока?
• Are you doing something at the moment? — Ты сейчас чем-то занят?

Any используется в отрицательных и вопросительных предложениях, его можно перевести «какой-либо, какой-то». Также any может использоваться в утвердительном предложении в значении «любой, каждый». Местоимение any может сочетаться с глаголом в единственном и множественном числе:

• Do you have any English book? — У тебя есть какая-нибудь (любая) книга на английском языке?
• Is there anybody at home? — Дома кто-нибудь (кто-либо) есть?
• Any child needs love. — Любой ребенок нуждается в любви.
• Anybody is good at something. — Каждый человек в чём-то хорош. (дословно «Любой человек в чём-то хорош.»)

Местоимение any также употребляется для указания на неопределённое количество, употребляется с неисчисляемыми существительными и исчисляемыми существительными во множественном числе в вопросительных и отрицательных предложениях, подробнее см. ниже:

• Don’t give him (any) water. — Не давайте ему воды.
• I don’t have (any) money. — У меня нет деньг.
• Today we do not have (any) lessons. — Сегодня у нас нет занятий.
  

Much и many переводятся как «много» и указывают на большое количество чего-либо. Much употребляется с существительными, которые мы не можем посчитать:
Much juce, much sugar (мы не можем посчитать сок, так как это жидкость, сок можно посчитать только в стаканах; сахар мы тоже не можем посчитать, так как его по крупинкам никто считать не будет).

• I don’t like much sugar in my tea. — Я не люблю много сахара в чае (much + неисчисляемое существительное).

Many употребляется с исчисляемыми существительными.

• Many people speak English. — Много людей говорят по-английски (many является частью подлежащего — many people).

Считается, что для утверждения хорошо подходит именно a lot of. Его можно применять в любом контексте, и с исчисляемыми и с неисчисляемыми существительными. Если вы сомневаетесь, что подойдет для данного предложения, a lot of можно использовать всегда.

• There are a lot of people in this room. — В этой комнате много людей (a lot of + исчисляемое существительное).
• I have a lot of work today. — У меня сегодня много работы (a lot of + неисчисляемое существительное).

Few и little означают «мало, несколько, немного». Little мы употребляем с неисчисляемыми существительными, а few — с исчисляемыми существительными.

b) You want a snack. Discuss what there is to eat with your partner. — Вы хотите перекусить. Обсудите, что есть из еды с вашим партнером.

• B: Not much. — Не так много.
• A: Should I buy some on my way home? — Мне его купить по дороге домой?
• B: It would be nice. I prefer apple juice. — Было бы хорошо. Я предпочитаю яблочный сок

• A: Are there any tomatoes? — А помидоры есть?
• B: We have some tomatoes. I think we’ve got enough to make some salad. — Есть несколько. Я думаю, достаточно, чтобы сделать салат.

5. Complete the sentences using the correct particle. — Дополните предложения, используя правильную частицу (вторую часть фразового глагола).

• Sunday: cereal, chicken, vegetables and a pie — Воскресенье: хлопья, курица, овощи и пирог
• Monday: cereal, crisps, burger, chips, pizza, cola, chocolate — Понедельник: хлопья, чипсы, бургер, жареная картошка, пицца, кола, шоколад

On Sunday my diet was quite healthy. I had cereal for breakfast, and for lunch I had roast chicken and vegetables. I had a pie for dinner, which wasn’t too unhealthy. However, the food I ate on Monday wasn’t healthy at all. I had cereal for breakfast again, but I got hungry later and bought a packet of crisps. Then I had a Mega Burger and chips for my lunch, which were both dripping in fat. At dinner time, I thought I’d share a takeaway pizza with my brother, but he wasn’t hungry, so I ate the whole thing myself along with two cans of cola and a chocolate bar for dessert.

В воскресенье моя диета была достаточно полезной. Я съел хлопья на завтрак, а на обед съел жареного цыпленка с овощами. На ужин у меня был пирог, что тоже не слишком вредно. Однако, еда, которую я ел в понедельник была совсем не полезной. На завтрак я опять ел хлопья, но потом я проголодался и купил пакетик чипсов. Затем я съел Мега Бургер и жареную картошку на обед, все буквально плавало в жире. Во время ужина я думал, что закажем и съедим пиццу с братом, но он не было голоден, так что я съел ее всю один и запил двумя банками колы и съел плитку шоколада на десерт.
