Some people
change their jobs every few years. Others say it is better to
work for one company for a long period. Almost everybody dreams of having a good job and making a
career. Some people prefer sticking to one company for many
years, while others, especially young people, are constantly
looking for something better.
Personally, I think that if you stay with one company, you will
have an opportunity to learn everything about it and to make a
career. If you are devoted to your profession and work hard, you
are likely to be promoted. What is more, you can make friends
with your colleagues and earn your employer’s respect. So, the
company that you work for may become your family.
However, a lot of people have to change their jobs very often.
If the employee thinks that his or her job is not well-paid or
his or her career is not advancing at an acceptable pace, why
not look for something else? Some people feel under impossible
pressure at work. Others face situations that can lead to stress
such as poor relationships with colleagues, an unsupportive
boss, lack of consultation and communication, too much
interference with their private, social or family lives, work
that is too difficult or not demanding enough, poor working
conditions and so on. If people feel that they will hardly
achieve a higher position in this organization, they usually
move to another company. In some cases employees feel that they
have outgrown their jobs and they have a desire to find
something more suitable to their personality and to develop in
new directions.
To sum up, I believe that employees should decide for themselves
what to do to make a career. Anyway, both options have
advantages and disadvantages. At present
there is no difficulty in choosing a career. However, many
people say that it is not so easy to find a really good job. Nowadays young people have a lot of opportunities to receive
good education and to find a well-paid job. In any city there
are a lot of firms which need qualified specialists. So young
people have a wide choice of career options, but many of them
think that it is difficult to find something suitable to their
interests and expectations.
Personally, I think that if you are clever, active and full of
energy, you can easily find a good job. You can even stay at
home and search the Web for vacancies. Just use e-mail, send
your resume to several companies and wait for their offers. Then
you can be selected for a job interview and you will be asked
some questions about your job history, skills, interests and so
on. If you are suitable for the post, you will be offered a job.
If not, you can go on looking for other variants.
However, making a positive career choice is a problem which
worries many people. Some of them don’t know what they are good
at. When young people graduate from a University, they need to
find a job and most of them understand that it is not an easy
task. Many companies, offices, firms and factories demand work
experience and that is why they don’t want to employ people
fresh from school. As a result, the percentage of unemployed
youth is rather high.
In conclusion, I would like to say that if you are lazy, you are
not likely to find a good job. But if you do your best to
achieve your goal, you will certainly succeed. Nowadays a lot
of people work so much that they do not have time to do anything
else. Some people say that workaholism is a key to success.
Others are convinced that it is rather bad to be addicted to
one’s work. Some people think that they will succeed only if they work a
lot. If you are the first one in the morning and the last one to
leave at night, if you take fewer vacation days and never take a
sick day, you will do better than the people who don’t do that.
But is it really good to be a workaholic?
To my mind, workaholics often forget about work-life balance and
suffer from the conflict between work and family. They often
sacrifice their health and loved ones for their jobs. They are
too much preoccupied with their careers and they have no time
for rest, pleasure and spiritual development. As a result,
constant fatigue, physical and moral exhaustion, monotony and
impossible pressure at work and at home may cause stress.
Consequently, it may result in a real breakdown of health. What
is more, workaholism may lead to early death, often on the job.
However, working hard is greatly valued in many countries. For
instance, there are many people who are addicted to their work
in the USA. They always think about their work and feel
frustrated if they are kept from it, even during weekends and
holidays. But I believe that workaholism is not the same as
working hard. I think that everybody should realize that being
healthy and happy is more important than making a career.
To sum up, workaholism is a serious social problem Workaholics’
obsession with work is all-occupying, which prevents them from
maintaining healthy relationships and outside interests. So it
is better not to overwork and to protect your health. According to
some people, it is better to work abroad. Others say that they
would prefer working in their own country. As nowadays travelling has become cheaper and easier, more
and more people have the chance to work in a foreign country.
Millions of people are now working overseas. However, others are
convinced that it is better to work in your own country.
On the one hand, working in a foreign country gives you a wider
view of the world. To my mind, it gives you an opportunity to
work on some international projects, to make friends with people
of different nationalities, to learn more about foreign culture,
to gain useful knowledge and experience and to learn foreign
languages.
On the other hand, a lot of people say that it is rather bad
when experienced specialists leave their motherland in order to
work abroad. Our country needs good doctors, scientists,
inventors, sportsmen, writers and so on. What is more, working
abroad has a number of disadvantages. Firstly, it is rather
difficult to get a work permit. Secondly, settling in can also
be a problem. Thirdly, a lot of people say they find having to
speak a foreign language 24 hours rather exhausting. But despite
the challenges, many people find working abroad extremely
interesting.
To conclude, I think that working in a foreign country can help
you improve your knowledge, broaden your mind and make a career.
If you give yourself time to settle in and discover new things,
you will be able to realize your potential and to succeed.
Anyway, you can always return to your mother country and work to
improve its economy, politics or culture. Some young
people say that they want their future job to be well-paid.
Others believe that the most important thing is to love what you
do. In their professional lives, many people have to choose
between love and money — between doing a job they love that
doesn’t have great financial rewards, or doing a job that pays
well but doesn’t satisfy the soul.
Personally, I think that my future profession must be
interesting, rewarding and challenging. If it is well-paid, but
boring, I will hardly like it. I want to find a job that will
give me an opportunity to travel to foreign countries and to
meet interesting people. Besides, I would like to work on some
international projects and to learn several foreign languages.
My profession should help me develop in new directions and suit
my character, skills and abilities.
However, some people don’t take into consideration their
interests and dreams when they look for a job. They think only
about their future salary and they are even ready to do work
that is too boring, difficult or not demanding enough if they
are paid a lot of money. Such people don’t care about poor
working conditions or lack of support and communication at work.
But to my mind, it is rather exhausting to do the work that you
don’t like and to look forward to the end of your working day.
You will certainly feel stressed and dissatisfied.
To conclude, most young people lack work experience and seldom
earn much money at the beginning of their career. However, if
they work for one company for a long time, they are likely to be
given several pay rises and to be promoted. Anyway, I think that
your well-being is more important than your bank account. Teamwork
skills have become highly valued by employers. However, some
people say that sometimes teams cannot work successfully. Nowadays more and more employers demand teamwork skills.
Good collaboration by team members helps achieve goals more
easily. However, bad collaboration leads to unsuccessful
performance. So what are the pros and cons of teamwork?
Personally, I think that the more people there are in a team,
the greater productivity is. Team members can communicate,
exchange their ideas and share their experience and skills with
each other. If a company has a team full of creative people who
complement one another, then achieving the goal is far more
likely. To my mind, every team member should be able to make the
right decision. A well considered decision will lead his or her
team to success.
But not everybody can work effectively in a team. Some people
put their own needs first and do not think of the common goal.
Others cannot acknowledge and appreciate the contributions of
other members of the team. Quite a lot of employees try to force
their ideas upon others, or look down on other people. They are
reluctant to cooperate or seek advice from other members.
Furthermore, some people cannot maintain good relationships with
their colleagues and handle criticism and complaints
appropriately. As a result, such individuals find it difficult
to work with other team members and the team will not be able to
succeed. But I strongly feel that it is very important to
develop one’s teamwork skills because they can help employees
make a career.
To conclude, I believe that the success of the team depends on
every its member. That is why every employee must do his or her
best to help the team succeed. Some people
think that to be a success you need talent; others believe that
hard work can compensate for the lack of it.
What is success? People define this notion in many different
ways. Success may mean the achievement of what one wants or
intends, a high position in society, one’s job, course or sport.
Some people believe that success is connected with the amount of
money they earn. But quite a lot of people don’t know what they
need to be successful.
To my mind, if you want to succeed, you must work hard. Even the
most talented person will never be successful if he or she is
lazy All successful people face a number of challenges at the
beginning of their career. They have to overcome many
difficulties, but they don’t give up. At last their persistence
leads to success. Success always goes hand in hand with hard
work and great efforts and one often faces a lot of obstacles,
troubles, disappointment and failure on the way to success.
However, some people think that if a person is not talented, he
or she will hardly succeed. As a rule ordinary people have
ordinary lives. No matter how hard they work, they can never get
results. People who are not talented, but industrious usually
become good workers, but they are not likely to make great
discoveries or to invent something that can revolutionize the
world. But I still believe that one must be hard-working,
patient, and strong-willed if one wants to be successful.
In conclusion, I would like to add that people are successful if
they use all their talents and work hard in order to improve the
world and to make it a bit better. Some people
say that it is impossible to work without inspiration. Others
say that inspiration is not essential.
People of different professions have been looking for
inspiration for centuries. But we still don’t know what
inspiration is and where it can be found. Many people wonder
whether inspiration is important in our lives and what makes us
feel it.
In my opinion, inspiration is part and parcel of the creative
process. In this state we are capable of making discoveries,
writing poems, inventing new things and making something
unusual. Every masterpiece of art, literature, music or
architecture has been created thanks to inspiration. This
wonderful feeling has nothing in common with mediocrity, boredom
or idleness. When I feel inspiration, I can work for many hours
running and I never feel tired or bored. On the contrary, I am
full of energy and enthusiasm.
However, some people say that they have no inspiration. They
consider their lives to be monotonous and say that every day is
exactly like the previous one. Working, saving, planning,
bringing up their children, doing household chores — these are
the daily aspects of their lives. But I think that inspiration
is everywhere and it lives in every soul. Sometimes looking at
the rising sun, falling leaves or smiling children we feel the
desire to create. Many things can inspire us and fill our head
with new ideas and thoughts.
To conclude, only love of their work and inspiration can make
people create beautiful and unusual things. Inspiration is very
important because it makes us work, think, search, create and
express ourselves. In other words, it makes us live. Some people
think that the profession of a teacher is important and noble,
while others claim it has lost its positions and it is not as
respected as it used to be. A teacher is a person who plays a very important role in
children’s development, upbringing and education. One should
have some particular traits of character to be a success in this
profession.
I strongly feel that the profession of a teacher is one of the
most important professions in the world. A teacher is always
responsible for his or her pupils. He or she should encourage
their inner development, protect them from any negative
influence and watch their progress carefully. A teacher’s
responsibility is not only to educate a child. He or she should
also understand pupils’ feelings and dreams, share their
problems and give good advice. A real teacher is a person who
can inspire his pupils with interest and love for his or her
subject. What is more, a teacher may even become as important
for children as their parents.
However, some people believe that nowadays teachers are not as
respected as they used to be. Unfortunately, this noble
profession is not well-paid and it makes some people think that
it is not prestigious. Modern society respects money and power.
That is why young people try to choose professions which can
make them rich and influential. Everybody is eager to make a
career and to become famous and successful. But good teachers do
not strive for money or fame. Their only concern is children’s
welfare.
To conclude, we should have the greatest respect for teachers.
They are deeply devoted to their job in spite of all problems
and difficulties. We should be grateful to our teachers for
their help, patience and professionalism.

Начинаю я свой день рано утром. Обычно встаю в 7 часов и делаю то, что делают все в это время: умываюсь, завтракаю и тренируюсь в течение 30 минут. Также, собираю свои вещи, такие как: кошелек, ключи, мой рюкзак и планшет, и выхожу из дома примерно в 9 часов. У меня нет машины, и поэтому я иду на автобусную остановку и жду транспорт. Дорога до офиса занимает 50 минут на автобусе.
Мой рабочий день, такой же как у всех — телефонные звонки, общение с людьми, ответы на электронные письма, написание отчетов и обсуждение важных вопросов с моим боссом. Так что можете себе представить, насколько я занята. В течение дня у нас перерыв на обед. Обычно я ем на кухне с коллегами. Иногда мы играем в настольный футбол, настольный теннис и видеоигры. Потом я возвращаюсь к работе. Обычно ухожу в 7:15 вечера. Выйдя из офиса, направляюсь в центр города, где обедаю со своим лучшим другом в нашем любимом кафе. Затем прямо из кафе, иду в супермаркет, покупаю продукты и еду домой.
Возвращаясь домой в общественном транспорте, я всегда читаю интересные рассказы, которые нашла в Интернете. Дома я около половины десятого. И первое, что мне нужно сделать, это накормить голодную кошку. После этого я могу переодеться в более удобную одежду и приготовить ужин. Мне нужно много всего сделать по дому: полить цветы, привести в порядок мою квартиру и принять душ. Иногда я могу посмотреть сериал, поговорить с моими родственниками по Скайпу и поиграть в прятки с моей кошкой. Наконец-то, я ложусь спать в 12 ночи.
Итак, теперь вы знаете, как я провожу свой рабочий день. Похожие сочинения

An ideal job just fits into the personal characteristics of a person. It enables a person to be in place and do the job.

4-й конкурс > Идеальная работа
My weekday starts at 6.30 in the morning when my alarm-clock rings. I am not an early bird, so it takes me a couple of minutes before I get out of my bed, especially in winter. I leave home early, at 8.00 to avoid the rush-hour traffic as I start my work at 9 o’clock.
I work in an office as a secretary for a big building corporation. It’s a Russian well-established company. I found this job 4 years ago through an employment agency.
The office is in the centre of the city. I usually get there by bus. I spend most of the time working at the computer. My usual duties are typing documents, preparing them for our managing director, answering phone calls and arranging business appointments. I am also responsible for giving new correspondence and fresh newspapers to the managing director, sending faxes or e-mails. Sometimes I translate letters from English into Russian. I am in charge of greeting visitors and offering them tea or coffee too. It is also my duty to arrange travel and hotel accommodation for the boss’s convenient business trips.
We have lunch at 1 o’clock and I usually go to a cafe which is situated in the next building. If I am not too busy I can have one or two short coffee-breaks during the day. I work full-time from Monday to Friday, so I am in my office until 5 p.m. At the end of every day I get new tasks and take notes for the next day from the managing director and ask him some possible questions.
I can’t say that my job is very interesting, sometimes it’s monotonous or stressful but I like meeting a lot of new people there, learning new ideas and communicating. I think that to apply for my job one needs good communication skills, the ability to work in a team under pressure and handle difficult situations without any assistance. I understand that my job is not prestigious and I have to climb the career ladder, that is why I am the third-year student at the university now and I am going to graduate from it in two years and become an accountant.

Мой будний день начинается в 6.30 утра, когда начинает звонить мой будильник. Я совсем не ранняя пташка, поэтому мне нужно еще пару минут, чтобы выбраться из кровати, особенно зимой. Выхожу из дома я рано, в 8 часов для того, чтобы избежать дорожных пробок в «час пик», так как начинаю работать в 9 часов.
Я работаю в офисе секретарем в большой строительной корпорации. Это российская компания с хорошей репутацией. Нашла я эту работу 4 года назад через агентство по трудоустройству.
Офис находится в центре города. Обычно я добираюсь туда на автобусе. Большую часть дня я провожу, работая за компьютером. В мои обычные обязанности входит печать документов, их подготовка для генерального директора, ответы на телефонные звонки и организация деловых встреч. Я также ответственна за предоставление новой корреспонденции и свежих газет своему начальнику, отсылку факсов и электронной почты. Иногда я перевожу письма с английского языка на русский. К тому же я отвечаю за встречу посетителей и предлагаю им чай или кофе. Еще я обязана заниматься организацией поездок и устройством в отеле для удобства командировок генерального директора.
У нас начинается обед в 1 час дня, я обычно хожу в кафе, расположенное в соседнем здании. Если я не слишком занята, я могу устроить один-два коротких перерыва на кофе в течение дня. У меня полный рабочий день с понедельника по пятницу, поэтому я нахожусь в офисе до 5 часов вечера. В конце каждого дня я получаю новые задания и делаю записи на следующий день от генерального директора и задаю ему возможные вопросы.
Не могу сказать, что моя работа очень интересная, иногда она монотонная или полна стрессов, но мне нравится знакомиться с новыми людьми, узнавать что-то новое и общаться. Думаю, что для подачи резюме на мою должность человеку нужно владеть хорошими навыками общения, способностью работать в команде под давлением и справляться со сложными ситуациями без чьей-либо помощи. Я понимаю, что моя должность не является престижной, и мне следует подниматься по служебной лестнице, поэтому сейчас я являюсь студенткой третьего курса университета, и через два года я его закончу и стану бухгалтером.
We spend great part of our lives at our jobs, so choosing a right career is one of the most important decisions you will make in your life. Many students finish high school and begin college without a clear idea of what they want to do in future. Part of the problem is the size of the job market itself. With so many kinds of jobs (2000) how can you tell which will interest you? Some of occupations are already overcrowded. In old industries there may be little need for new workers, while new and growing industries will offer jobs now and in the future. Therefor, it is extremely important to explore your choice of occupations from every angle, collect as much information as you can. But above all you must evaluate yourself. Find out where your interests and talents lie. Postponing a decision is an error people make. “I’ll get started tomorrow or next week, or next year,” – many people think. These people refuse to face the problem, hoping it will go away. But if you don’t take the first step now, how can you plan for the future, how can you take the right way? Such people miss many opportunities. First start with yourself, make a list of your interests, talents and abilities. Most people have a lot of these, but at the beginning they are undeveloped and may not seem outstanding. By concentrating on a few, or on one you may surprise yourself at how good you can get. The interest inventory that follows covers the major fields in which most people find careers: science, art, social service, business, sales and so on. Sometimes we say that someone we know is ‘a square peg in a round hole’. This means that person we are talking about is not suited for the job he is doing. Unfortunately, many people in the world are ‘square pegs’. But to be a ‘square peg’ is not a real problem, a real problem for millions of people is to be unemployed. Unemployment especially hits poor and working class families the hardest, not because this people are more likely to be unemployed, but because they don’t have financial resource to fall back on. Unemployment exists primarily for two reasons: first – the existence of millions of unemployed people tends to present most of those working from asking for higher wages since they can be replaced easily, second – in their search for profits, corporations are interested in finding the cheapest labor. As for our country more than 10% of our people are unemployed. There is no lack of work force in Russia, but at the resent moment the need for professional workers is increasing. Old industries are overcrowded and it is hard to get new education for people whose age is 35-40 years. The problem of unemployment is also connected with the economic crisis in our country. And I think when this crisis comes to an end the problem of unemployment will not be so urgent.
It is important for any of us to find our place in this world, to live and work and feel a part of a modern and progressive society. From the very childhood our parents teach us to study at school well, to get only good notes in order to go after that to a college and become a good specialist in some area. And it is actually a right way of thinking, as our job determines our living and personal character. That is why it is so important to choose an area of activity that would fit perfectly to you.
My perfect place of activity would be at some large industrial company, producing electrical part s for automobiles. I would work on planning how many people does a factory needs, which and how many equipments would be involved in the production process. I find this interesting to work in a big company dealing with big number of employees and having many production processes. I would like to be in the center of any problem resolving and take part in administration meetings where they discuss different problems and claims.
Of course it would be better if I would be a leader of a department, like a technical one. I would administrate different activities of employees, engage people and take part in their personal and professional development. I think it is interesting to be leader of a certain community of people, although it supposes big responsibility and much work. A good leader must be confident in making decisions and at the same time good and loyal to people he is responsible for. In any group of people sometimes conflicts happen and the main goal of a leader is to resolve them without hurting someone seriously. It takes time to become an experienced and wise leader, but I think I am ready to go in this direction and develop myself and prepare myself to be best leader ever.

Для каждого из нас очень важно найти свое место в мире, жить и работать и чувствовать себя частью современного и прогрессивного общества. С самого детства родители учат нас хорошо учиться в школе , получать хорошие оценки, для того чтобы стать хорошим специалистов в какой-о области. И это вообще-то хороший образ мышления, так как наша работа определяет нашу жизнь и личный характер. Поэтому это так важно выбрать подходящую область деятельности, которая идеально вам подойдет.
Мое идеальное место работы было бы в какой-то большой промышленной компании, производящей электрические запчасти для автомобилей. Я бы работал над планированием того, сколько людей нужно фабрике, какого и сколько оборудования должно быть задействовано в производственный процесс. Я нахожу это интересным работать в большой компании, имеющей дело с множеством рабочих, вовлеченных в большое количество производственных процессов. Я бы хотел быть в центре решения проблем и принимать участие в совещаниях администрации, где обсуждаются многие проблемы и жалобы.
Конечно, было бы лучше, если бы я был руководителем какого-то отдела, например технического. Я бы управлял разной деятельностью рабочих, нанимал бы людей, принимал участие в их личном и профессиональном росте. Я думаю, что это очень интересно быть лидером какого-то сообщества людей, хотя это предполагает большую ответственность и много труда. Хороший руководитель должен быть уверенным в принятии решений и в то же время хорошим и лояльным по отношению к людям, за которых он в ответе. В любой группе людей иногда случаются конфликты, и главная задача лидера разрешить их без того, чтобы кого-то серьезно обидеть. Чтобы стать опытным и мудрым руководителем нужно время, но я готов идти в этом направлении, развиваться и готовиться для того чтобы быть самым лучшим.
My name is Maxim Sviridov. I work as a manager at the “Star tour” company. It is a Russian company which works in the business travel market. Two weeks ago I was sent by the administration of our company to London where I studied the English travel companies, their traditions, their marketing and management. Now my business trip is coming to an end and I want to share my impressions of English business world with you.
First of all English businessmen are well known all over the world for their honesty and decency. If an Englishman gives you his word he will keep it in any case. Besides that, nothing can prevent him from refusing the once taken decision. Of course, there are some exclusions, but they are so rare that nobody should put attention on them.
During the last two weeks my working day was approximately the same. Early in the morning I took a taxi to my hosts’ headquarters, which is situated in the City – the business heart of London. First of all I usually asked Mrs. Lapital – my secretary if there were any letters or cables for me. Then she gave me my correspondence and fresh newspapers and I followed to my office-room. There I studied all documents that had come for my name and wrote a short report about previous business day and then faxed it to my native company in Vladivostok.
After that I went to Mr. Forsberg’s office-room to get tasks for the new day and ask some questions about their company, its history, traditions, clients, and so on. After that I usually did what Mr. Forsberg told. My usual job was meeting with potential clients, discussing their rest plans and offering the services of Mr. Forsberg’s company. I usually met 10 or 12 people a day. They were representatives of different social groups and communicating with them increased my knowledge of England, Englishmen and their psychology greatly.
This business trip was a great chance for me and I hope I used this chance fully. Now I know a lot about Western business world, about travel business and this knowledge will help me in my future career. Перевод:
Меня зовут Максим Свиридов. Я работаю менеджером в компании “Звездный тур” . Это российская компания, которая работает на рынке туризма. Две недели назад я был послан администрации нашей компании в Лондон, где я изучал опыт английских туристических компаний, их традиции, их маркетинг и менеджмент. Теперь моя командировка подходит к концу, и я хочу поделиться своими впечатлениями об английском деловом мире с вами.
Прежде всего английские бизнесмены известны во всем мире своей честностью и порядочностью. Если англичанин дает вам свое слово, он будет держать его в любом случае. Кроме того, ничто не может помешать ему отказаться от однажды принятого решения. Конечно, есть некоторые исключения, но они настолько редки, что никто не должен обращать на них внимание.
За последние две недели мой рабочий день был примерно таким. Рано утром я ехал на такси в офис моих хозяев, который находится в Сити – деловом центре Лондона. Прежде всего, я обычно спрашивал миссис Лэпитэл – моего секретаря, если какие-либо письма или сообщения для меня. Тогда она давала мне мою переписку и свежие газеты, и я следовал в свой кабинет. Там я изучал все документы, которые пришли на мое имя и писал короткий отчет о предыдущем рабочем дне, а затем отсыдал его по факсу в мою родную компанию во Владивостоке.
После этого я шел в офис г-н Форсберга, чтобы получить задачи для нового дня и задать несколько вопросов о его компании, ее истории, традициях, клиентах и так далее. После этого я обычно делал то, что г-н Форсберг сказал. Моя обычная работа – встречи с потенциальными клиентами, обсуждение их планов на отдых и предложение услуг компании г-н Форсберга. Я обычно встречался с 10 или 12 людьми в день. Они были представителями различных социальных групп и общение с ними значительно увеличило мои знания Англии, англичан и их психологии.
Эта командировка была большим шансом для меня, и я надеюсь, что я использовал этот шанс в полной мере. Теперь я знаю много о западном мире бизнеса, о деловых поездках и эти знания помогут мне в моей будущей карьере.
There is no doubt that talent can helps in achieving success. But not all agree with the statement. Some people suppose that only hard work allow to be successful.
I agree with the point of view that hard work is the key to life which filled your life success and self-respect. To begin with, own effort can helps us become independent and find the feeling confident. Secondly, hard-working persons move up the career ladder faster than those people which rely on talent. Then we can say that hard-working are respected in the society.
Nevertheless, some people have another point of view. They suppose that there is nothing better than rely on talent. Firstly, these people never consider hard work is something important. Then they believe that a gifted person can work with break. In addition, they do not believe that way to success may be hard.
Despite this fact I respect, I hardly agree with these people because talent will not survive with no hard work. When you are very talented, hard work is needed. A great work reduced to successful self-realization. It is going to be obvious when you make better use of time.
To cut a long story short, your independent choice influence your future career and life and also allow to be realized. Either make efforts to work or not is your own wish.
A Job for Teenagers
Работа для подростков
Many people do not like working. Sometimes it is connected with their profession which they do not like. Sometimes people have problems with the administration or colleagues. Some people choose the work they like and do not have such problems. The reasons why people work vary. Some people just want to earn money for a living. Other people just like working.
Многие люди не любят работать. Иногда это связано с их профессией, которая им не нравится. Иногда у людей возникают проблемы с начальством или коллегами. Некоторые люди выбирают понравившуюся работу и не имеют таких проблем. Причины, по которым люди работают, меняются. Некоторые люди просто хотят зарабатывать на жизнь. Другие просто любят работать.
Not only adults want or have to work. Nowadays many teenagers work. The reasons why teenagers work can be similar: some of them just earn money and other teenagers just want to work. Modern teenagers, unlike our ancestors, seldom have to work to support the family. As a rule, they work to have more pocket money. However there are also those who have to pay for the study or support their families.
Не только взрослые хотят или должны работать. В настоящее время многие подростки работают. Причины, по которым они работают, могут быть похожими: некоторые из них просто зарабатывают деньги, а другие просто хотят работать. Современные подростки, в отличие от наших предков, редко вынуждены работать, чтобы прокормить свою семью. Как правило, они работают, чтобы иметь больше карманных денег. Однако есть и те, кто должен платить за учебу или помогать своей семье.
There are plenty of choices to earn money, for example, car washing, leafleting, working at office and so on. Car washing is one of the most popular ways to earn money among teenagers. Many classmates of mine wash cars in summer. It is hard to explain why they choose it.
Есть много вариантов заработать деньги, например, мыть машины, раздавать листовки, работать в офисе и так далее. Мытье машин – один из самых популярных способов заработать деньги среди подростков. Многие мои одноклассники работают на автомойках летом. Трудно объяснить, почему они выбирают именно это.
However there are some problems and risks connected with the work arrangement, honesty of the administration and payment. There are many cases when employers deceive teenagers and do not pay money. I think the government should pay much attention to these problems and support working teenagers.
Однако есть некоторые проблемы и риски, связанные с организацией работ, честностью начальства и оплатой труда. Есть много случаев, когда работодатели обманывали подростков и не платили им. Я думаю, что правительству следует уделять больше внимания этим проблемам и поддерживать работающих подростков.

Топик по английскому языку “At Work: Jobs – На работе: профессии”
My name is Martha Glass. I’m thirty-nine years old and I’m a doctor. I chose the medical profession because I wanted to help people and at the same time make good money. When I was younger I wanted to become a teacher or a nurse, but I soon realized there wasn’t much money in either of those professions.
My parents almost didn’t help me, because they didn’t want me to have a career at all. They wanted me to do what so many other girls did. They wanted me to become a secretary, marry the boss, have kids and stay at home. Well, I got married, and I had kids, but I have my career as well.
Hi. I’m Billy. 1 left school when I was sixteen. I didn’t have any qualification. I just wanted to earn some money. I got a job in a factory. I didn’t mind being a blue-collar worker. All I wanted was enough money to take my girlfriend out on a Saturday night. But then they got robots in to do my job and I was out of work.
I was out of work for sixteen months. It’s terrible being unemployed. The days seem so long. I finally got a job as an unskilled labourer, working for a builder. I’m twenty-five now. I suppose I should go to night classes and get some extra training so that I can earn more money as a skilled worker can.
My name is George Rushton. I’m a businessman. I’m fifty years old and I’ve been working for the same company for twenty-five years. I think I’ve had a very successful career. I started work with the company as a poorly paid clerk. I was one of those nine-to-five white-collar office workers who spend all day with a pencil in one hand and a telephone in the other.
I hated it. So I was transferred to sales and became one of the company’s sales representatives. I travelled all over the country selling the company’s products and became the most successful salesperson on the staff. In ten years I have been promoted to manager of the sales department. In another ten years I hope to retire with a good pension.
Перевод топика: На работе: профессии
Меня зовут Марта Гласе. Мне тридцать девять лет, я врач. Я выбрала профессию медика, потому что хотела помогать людям и в то же время хорошо зарабатывать. Когда я была моложе, то хотела стать учителем или медсестрой, но вскоре поняла, что люди этих профессий много не зарабатывают.
Мои родители мне почти не помогали, потому что вообще не хотели, чтобы я занималась карьерой. Они хотели, чтобы я поступала так же, как и многие другие девушки. Они хотели, чтобы я стала секретарем, вышла замуж за начальника, имела детей и сидела дома. Я вышла замуж, у меня появились дети, но я сделала и карьеру.
Привет. Меня зовут Билли. Я окончил школу, когда мне было шестнадцать. У меня не было никакой квалификации. Я только хотел заработать немного денег. Я получил работу на фабрике. Я ничего не имел против того, чтобы стать рабочим, «синим воротничком». Все, что я хотел, так это иметь достаточно денег, чтобы повести куда-нибудь свою девушку в субботу вечером. Но затем появились роботы, которые выполняли мою работу, и я остался безработным.
У меня не было работы в течение шестнадцати месяцев. Это ужасно — быть безработным. Дни кажутся такими длинными. Я наконец устроился на работу чернорабочим низкой квалификации, подсобным строителя. Сейчас мне двадцать пять. Я считаю, что мне нужно идти в вечернюю школу и получить дополнительное образование, чтобы я мог зарабатывать больше денег как квалифицированный рабочий.
Меня зовут Джордж Руштон. Я бизнесмен. Мне пятьдесят лет, и я работаю в одной и той же компании в течение двадцати пяти лет. Думаю, что у меня была очень успешная карьера. Я начал работу в компании в качестве клерка с маленькой зарплатой. Я был одним из тех сотрудников офиса с белыми воротничками, которые работают с девяти до пяти и проводят весь день с карандашом в одной руке и телефоном в другой.
Я возненавидел такую работу. Меня перевели в отдел продаж, и я стал одним из коммерческих представителей компании. Я путешествовал по всей стране, продавая изделия компании, и стал самым удачливым продавцом. Через десять лет меня выдвинули на должность менеджера коммерческого отдела. Еще через десять лет я надеюсь уволиться с хорошей пенсией.

Questions:
There is a wide choice of different professions and I`d like to tell you about my hesitation what to choose. In my childhood I wanted to become a famous singer or actor but when I was aware of all the difficulties of these professions I decided to refuse of my dream. Then I was going to become a vet. I imagined myself treating different animals, taking care of them, feeding and walking with them in the park, but this dream hadn`t also come true.
It goes without saying that every person must choose his profession according his natural abilities and inclinations to it. So I have decided to connect my life with a profession of a teacher because I am sure that it`s my cup of tea. On the one hand it`s a great responsibility for children, on the other hand it`s a very interesting, exciting and valuable profession in our life. Besides you won`t be able to succeed as a teacher if you don`t like children. Your success depends on a lot of things. At first you should be communicative, very organized and hardworking. You must be skilful in your profession. It is also necessary to understand pupils, give them a helping hand and be ready to solve their problems. More than that you must be polite and tactful.
Profession of a teacher is a great profession and it is known that who doesn`t work in this sphere, won`t be able to understand all the essence of it.
Nowadays there are thousands of different occupations but the most important role in choosing this or that one, plays a salary, of course. It is so, but to my mind, it`s impossible to work only for that purpose “earning a lot of money”.Our job must bring us satisfaction and always only pleasant emotions. So in conclusion I`d like to advise people to choose their profession carefully, taking every thing into their consideration.

В будни я обычно встаю в 7 часов. Я застилаю постель, открываю окно и делаю зарядку. Потом иду в ванную, где чищу зубы и умываюсь. Если у меня достаточно времени, принимаю контрастный душ. После ванной я возвращаюсь в комнату, где одеваюсь и розчісуюся. Через десять минут я готов к завтраку. После завтрака я надеваю плащ, беру портфель и иду к школы. Поскольку я живу недалеко от школы, чтобы добраться туда, мне нужно только 5-7 минут. Я не хочу опаздывать на первый урок и поэтому прихожу в школу за несколько минут до звонка. Я оставляю плащ в гардеробе и поднимаюсь в класс. Уроки начинаются в восемь часов утра и заканчиваются в полвторого. После уроков я иду домой и обедаю. После обеда я немного отдыхаю, потом читаю газеты и журналы. Потом я делаю уроки. В школе мы изучаем много предметов, и подготовка домашнего задания занимает три часа или даже больше. Иногда я иду в библиотеку подготовиться к практическим занятий или написать доклад. Как правило, в будни у меня не остается свободного времени. В нашей семье восемь часов – время ужина. Мы все вместе собираемся на кухне, потом идем в гостиную и смотрим телевизор, читаем книги или обсуждаем различные вопросы. Дважды в неделю вечером я хожу в школу играть в волейбол. Я член школьной волейбольной команды, и тренировки в нас довольно поздно. Я ложусь спать около одиннадцати часов ночи.
Мій робочий день
У будень я звичайно встаю о 7 годині. Я застеляю постіль, відкриваю вікно і роблю зарядку. Потім йду у ванну, де чищу зуби й умиваюся. Якщо в мене досить часу, приймаю контрастний душ. Після ванної я повертаюся в кімнату, де вдягаюся і розчісуюся. Через десять хвилин я готовий до сніданку. Після сніданку я одягаю плащ, беру портфель і йду до школи. Оскільки я живу недалеко від школи, щоб добратися туди, мені потрібно тільки 5—7 хвилин. Я не хочу спізнюватися на перший урок і тому приходжу в школу за кілька хвилин до дзвоника. Я залишаю плащ у гардеробі і піднімаюся в клас. Уроки починаються о восьмій годині ранку і закінчуються о пів на другу. Після уроків я йду додому й обідаю. Після обіду я трохи відпочиваю, потім читаю газети і журнали. Потім я роблю уроки. У школі ми вивчаємо багато предметів, і підготовка домашнього завдання займає три години чи навіть більше. Іноді я йду в бібліотеку підготуватися до практичних занять чи написати доповідь. Як правило, в будень у мене не залишається вільного часу. У нашій родині восьма година — час вечері. Ми усі разом збираємося на кухні, потім йдемо у вітальню і дивимося телевізор, читаємо книги чи обговорюємо різні питання. Двічі на тиждень увечері я ходжу в школу грати у волейбол. Я член шкільної волейбольної команди, і тренування в нас досить пізно. Я лягаю спати близько одинадцятої години ночі.

Work & Career
Some people
change their jobs every few years. Others say it is better to
work for one company for a long period.
Almost everybody dreams of having a good job and making a
career. Some people prefer sticking to one company for many
years, while others, especially young people, are constantly
looking for something better.
Personally, I think that if you stay with one company, you will
have an opportunity to learn everything about it and to make a
career. If you are devoted to your profession and work hard, you
are likely to be promoted. What is more, you can make friends
with your colleagues and earn your employer’s respect. So, the
company that you work for may become your family.
However, a lot of people have to change their jobs very often.
If the employee thinks that his or her job is not well-paid or
his or her career is not advancing at an acceptable pace, why
not look for something else? Some people feel under impossible
pressure at work. Others face situations that can lead to stress
such as poor relationships with colleagues, an unsupportive
boss, lack of consultation and communication, too much
interference with their private, social or family lives, work
that is too difficult or not demanding enough, poor working
conditions and so on. If people feel that they will hardly
achieve a higher position in this organization, they usually
move to another company. In some cases employees feel that they
have outgrown their jobs and they have a desire to find
something more suitable to their personality and to develop in
new directions.
To sum up, I believe that employees should decide for themselves
what to do to make a career. Anyway, both options have
advantages and disadvantages.
At present
there is no difficulty in choosing a career. However, many
people say that it is not so easy to find a really good job.
Nowadays young people have a lot of opportunities to receive
good education and to find a well-paid job. In any city there
are a lot of firms which need qualified specialists. So young
people have a wide choice of career options, but many of them
think that it is difficult to find something suitable to their
interests and expectations.
Personally, I think that if you are clever, active and full of
energy, you can easily find a good job. You can even stay at
home and search the Web for vacancies. Just use e-mail, send
your resume to several companies and wait for their offers. Then
you can be selected for a job interview and you will be asked
some questions about your job history, skills, interests and so
on. If you are suitable for the post, you will be offered a job.
If not, you can go on looking for other variants.
However, making a positive career choice is a problem which
worries many people. Some of them don’t know what they are good
at. When young people graduate from a University, they need to
find a job and most of them understand that it is not an easy
task. Many companies, offices, firms and factories demand work
experience and that is why they don’t want to employ people
fresh from school. As a result, the percentage of unemployed
youth is rather high.
In conclusion, I would like to say that if you are lazy, you are
not likely to find a good job. But if you do your best to
achieve your goal, you will certainly succeed.
Nowadays a lot
of people work so much that they do not have time to do anything
else. Some people say that workaholism is a key to success.
Others are convinced that it is rather bad to be addicted to
one’s work.
Some people think that they will succeed only if they work a
lot. If you are the first one in the morning and the last one to
leave at night, if you take fewer vacation days and never take a
sick day, you will do better than the people who don’t do that.
But is it really good to be a workaholic?
To my mind, workaholics often forget about work-life balance and
suffer from the conflict between work and family. They often
sacrifice their health and loved ones for their jobs. They are
too much preoccupied with their careers and they have no time
for rest, pleasure and spiritual development. As a result,
constant fatigue, physical and moral exhaustion, monotony and
impossible pressure at work and at home may cause stress.
Consequently, it may result in a real breakdown of health. What
is more, workaholism may lead to early death, often on the job.
However, working hard is greatly valued in many countries. For
instance, there are many people who are addicted to their work
in the USA. They always think about their work and feel
frustrated if they are kept from it, even during weekends and
holidays. But I believe that workaholism is not the same as
working hard. I think that everybody should realize that being
healthy and happy is more important than making a career.
To sum up, workaholism is a serious social problem Workaholics’
obsession with work is all-occupying, which prevents them from
maintaining healthy relationships and outside interests. So it
is better not to overwork and to protect your health.
According to
some people, it is better to work abroad. Others say that they
would prefer working in their own country.
As nowadays travelling has become cheaper and easier, more
and more people have the chance to work in a foreign country.
Millions of people are now working overseas. However, others are
convinced that it is better to work in your own country.
On the one hand, working in a foreign country gives you a wider
view of the world. To my mind, it gives you an opportunity to
work on some international projects, to make friends with people
of different nationalities, to learn more about foreign culture,
to gain useful knowledge and experience and to learn foreign
languages.
On the other hand, a lot of people say that it is rather bad
when experienced specialists leave their motherland in order to
work abroad. Our country needs good doctors, scientists,
inventors, sportsmen, writers and so on. What is more, working
abroad has a number of disadvantages. Firstly, it is rather
difficult to get a work permit. Secondly, settling in can also
be a problem. Thirdly, a lot of people say they find having to
speak a foreign language 24 hours rather exhausting. But despite
the challenges, many people find working abroad extremely
interesting.
To conclude, I think that working in a foreign country can help
you improve your knowledge, broaden your mind and make a career.
If you give yourself time to settle in and discover new things,
you will be able to realize your potential and to succeed.
Anyway, you can always return to your mother country and work to
improve its economy, politics or culture.
Some young
people say that they want their future job to be well-paid.
Others believe that the most important thing is to love what you
do.
In their professional lives, many people have to choose
between love and money — between doing a job they love that
doesn’t have great financial rewards, or doing a job that pays
well but doesn’t satisfy the soul.
Personally, I think that my future profession must be
interesting, rewarding and challenging. If it is well-paid, but
boring, I will hardly like it. I want to find a job that will
give me an opportunity to travel to foreign countries and to
meet interesting people. Besides, I would like to work on some
international projects and to learn several foreign languages.
My profession should help me develop in new directions and suit
my character, skills and abilities.
However, some people don’t take into consideration their
interests and dreams when they look for a job. They think only
about their future salary and they are even ready to do work
that is too boring, difficult or not demanding enough if they
are paid a lot of money. Such people don’t care about poor
working conditions or lack of support and communication at work.
But to my mind, it is rather exhausting to do the work that you
don’t like and to look forward to the end of your working day.
You will certainly feel stressed and dissatisfied.
To conclude, most young people lack work experience and seldom
earn much money at the beginning of their career. However, if
they work for one company for a long time, they are likely to be
given several pay rises and to be promoted. Anyway, I think that
your well-being is more important than your bank account.
Teamwork
skills have become highly valued by employers. However, some
people say that sometimes teams cannot work successfully.
Nowadays more and more employers demand teamwork skills.
Good collaboration by team members helps achieve goals more
easily. However, bad collaboration leads to unsuccessful
performance. So what are the pros and cons of teamwork?
Personally, I think that the more people there are in a team,
the greater productivity is. Team members can communicate,
exchange their ideas and share their experience and skills with
each other. If a company has a team full of creative people who
complement one another, then achieving the goal is far more
likely. To my mind, every team member should be able to make the
right decision. A well considered decision will lead his or her
team to success.
But not everybody can work effectively in a team. Some people
put their own needs first and do not think of the common goal.
Others cannot acknowledge and appreciate the contributions of
other members of the team. Quite a lot of employees try to force
their ideas upon others, or look down on other people. They are
reluctant to cooperate or seek advice from other members.
Furthermore, some people cannot maintain good relationships with
their colleagues and handle criticism and complaints
appropriately. As a result, such individuals find it difficult
to work with other team members and the team will not be able to
succeed. But I strongly feel that it is very important to
develop one’s teamwork skills because they can help employees
make a career.
To conclude, I believe that the success of the team depends on
every its member. That is why every employee must do his or her
best to help the team succeed.
Some people
think that to be a success you need talent; others believe that
hard work can compensate for the lack of it.
What is success? People define this notion in many different
ways. Success may mean the achievement of what one wants or
intends, a high position in society, one’s job, course or sport.
Some people believe that success is connected with the amount of
money they earn. But quite a lot of people don’t know what they
need to be successful.
To my mind, if you want to succeed, you must work hard. Even the
most talented person will never be successful if he or she is
lazy All successful people face a number of challenges at the
beginning of their career. They have to overcome many
difficulties, but they don’t give up. At last their persistence
leads to success. Success always goes hand in hand with hard
work and great efforts and one often faces a lot of obstacles,
troubles, disappointment and failure on the way to success.
However, some people think that if a person is not talented, he
or she will hardly succeed. As a rule ordinary people have
ordinary lives. No matter how hard they work, they can never get
results. People who are not talented, but industrious usually
become good workers, but they are not likely to make great
discoveries or to invent something that can revolutionize the
world. But I still believe that one must be hard-working,
patient, and strong-willed if one wants to be successful.
In conclusion, I would like to add that people are successful if
they use all their talents and work hard in order to improve the
world and to make it a bit better.
Some people
say that it is impossible to work without inspiration. Others
say that inspiration is not essential.
People of different professions have been looking for
inspiration for centuries. But we still don’t know what
inspiration is and where it can be found. Many people wonder
whether inspiration is important in our lives and what makes us
feel it.
In my opinion, inspiration is part and parcel of the creative
process. In this state we are capable of making discoveries,
writing poems, inventing new things and making something
unusual. Every masterpiece of art, literature, music or
architecture has been created thanks to inspiration. This
wonderful feeling has nothing in common with mediocrity, boredom
or idleness. When I feel inspiration, I can work for many hours
running and I never feel tired or bored. On the contrary, I am
full of energy and enthusiasm.
However, some people say that they have no inspiration. They
consider their lives to be monotonous and say that every day is
exactly like the previous one. Working, saving, planning,
bringing up their children, doing household chores — these are
the daily aspects of their lives. But I think that inspiration
is everywhere and it lives in every soul. Sometimes looking at
the rising sun, falling leaves or smiling children we feel the
desire to create. Many things can inspire us and fill our head
with new ideas and thoughts.
To conclude, only love of their work and inspiration can make
people create beautiful and unusual things. Inspiration is very
important because it makes us work, think, search, create and
express ourselves. In other words, it makes us live.
Some people
think that the profession of a teacher is important and noble,
while others claim it has lost its positions and it is not as
respected as it used to be.
A teacher is a person who plays a very important role in
children’s development, upbringing and education. One should
have some particular traits of character to be a success in this
profession.
I strongly feel that the profession of a teacher is one of the
most important professions in the world. A teacher is always
responsible for his or her pupils. He or she should encourage
their inner development, protect them from any negative
influence and watch their progress carefully. A teacher’s
responsibility is not only to educate a child. He or she should
also understand pupils’ feelings and dreams, share their
problems and give good advice. A real teacher is a person who
can inspire his pupils with interest and love for his or her
subject. What is more, a teacher may even become as important
for children as their parents.
However, some people believe that nowadays teachers are not as
respected as they used to be. Unfortunately, this noble
profession is not well-paid and it makes some people think that
it is not prestigious. Modern society respects money and power.
That is why young people try to choose professions which can
make them rich and influential. Everybody is eager to make a
career and to become famous and successful. But good teachers do
not strive for money or fame. Their only concern is children’s
welfare.
To conclude, we should have the greatest respect for teachers.
They are deeply devoted to their job in spite of all problems
and difficulties. We should be grateful to our teachers for
their help, patience and professionalism.

мир с английским языком. 150 эссе для ЕГЭ. Готовимся к ЕГЭ” Юнёва С.А. 2011г.
Начинаю я свой день рано утром. Обычно встаю в 7 часов и делаю то, что делают все в это время: умываюсь, завтракаю и тренируюсь в течение 30 минут. Также, собираю свои вещи, такие как: кошелек, ключи, мой рюкзак и планшет, и выхожу из дома примерно в 9 часов. У меня нет машины, и поэтому я иду на автобусную остановку и жду транспорт. Дорога до офиса занимает 50 минут на автобусе.
Мой рабочий день, такой же как у всех — телефонные звонки, общение с людьми, ответы на электронные письма, написание отчетов и обсуждение важных вопросов с моим боссом. Так что можете себе представить, насколько я занята. В течение дня у нас перерыв на обед. Обычно я ем на кухне с коллегами. Иногда мы играем в настольный футбол, настольный теннис и видеоигры. Потом я возвращаюсь к работе. Обычно ухожу в 7:15 вечера. Выйдя из офиса, направляюсь в центр города, где обедаю со своим лучшим другом в нашем любимом кафе. Затем прямо из кафе, иду в супермаркет, покупаю продукты и еду домой.
Возвращаясь домой в общественном транспорте, я всегда читаю интересные рассказы, которые нашла в Интернете. Дома я около половины десятого. И первое, что мне нужно сделать, это накормить голодную кошку. После этого я могу переодеться в более удобную одежду и приготовить ужин. Мне нужно много всего сделать по дому: полить цветы, привести в порядок мою квартиру и принять душ. Иногда я могу посмотреть сериал, поговорить с моими родственниками по Скайпу и поиграть в прятки с моей кошкой. Наконец-то, я ложусь спать в 12 ночи.
Итак, теперь вы знаете, как я провожу свой рабочий день.

Any ideal job is destination and self-realization of man. This work implements his ability, satisfies the requirements, fulfills a wish and meets the rhythm of life.
An ideal job just fits into the personal characteristics of a person. It enables a person to be in place and do the job.
Nowadays, most people choose for a more profitable job, ignoring their interests. In pursuit of money people do an uninteresting and unfavourite job, of course, its quality suffers. It should not be so. Work should not be a routine.
If you do what you like, you will be successful.
This is the job of my dream.

Идеальная работа – это предназначение и самореализация человека. Эта работа реализует его способности, удовлетворяет его потребности, исполняет его желания и соответствует его жизненному ритму.
Идеальная работа точно вписывается в личностные особенности человека. Она дает человеку возможность быть на своем месте и делать свое дело.
В наше время большинство людей выбирают более прибыльную работу, не учитывая своих интересов. В погоне за деньгами люди выполняют неинтересную и нелюбимую работу, естественно от этого страдает её качество. Так не должно быть. Работа не должна казаться рутиной.
Заниматься любимым делом — залог успешной работы.

My weekday starts at 6.30 in the morning when my alarm-clock rings. I am not an early bird, so it takes me a couple of minutes before I get out of my bed, especially in winter. I leave home early, at 8.00 to avoid the rush-hour traffic as I start my work at 9 o’clock.
I work in an office as a secretary for a big building corporation. It’s a Russian well-established company. I found this job 4 years ago through an employment agency.
The office is in the centre of the city. I usually get there by bus. I spend most of the time working at the computer. My usual duties are typing documents, preparing them for our managing director, answering phone calls and arranging business appointments. I am also responsible for giving new correspondence and fresh newspapers to the managing director, sending faxes or e-mails. Sometimes I translate letters from English into Russian. I am in charge of greeting visitors and offering them tea or coffee too. It is also my duty to arrange travel and hotel accommodation for the boss’s convenient business trips.
We have lunch at 1 o’clock and I usually go to a cafe which is situated in the next building. If I am not too busy I can have one or two short coffee-breaks during the day. I work full-time from Monday to Friday, so I am in my office until 5 p.m. At the end of every day I get new tasks and take notes for the next day from the managing director and ask him some possible questions.
I can’t say that my job is very interesting, sometimes it’s monotonous or stressful but I like meeting a lot of new people there, learning new ideas and communicating. I think that to apply for my job one needs good communication skills, the ability to work in a team under pressure and handle difficult situations without any assistance. I understand that my job is not prestigious and I have to climb the career ladder, that is why I am the third-year student at the university now and I am going to graduate from it in two years and become an accountant.
Перевод
Мой будний день начинается в 6.30 утра, когда начинает звонить мой будильник. Я совсем не ранняя пташка, поэтому мне нужно еще пару минут, чтобы выбраться из кровати, особенно зимой. Выхожу из дома я рано, в 8 часов для того, чтобы избежать дорожных пробок в «час пик», так как начинаю работать в 9 часов.
Я работаю в офисе секретарем в большой строительной корпорации. Это российская компания с хорошей репутацией. Нашла я эту работу 4 года назад через агентство по трудоустройству.
Офис находится в центре города. Обычно я добираюсь туда на автобусе. Большую часть дня я провожу, работая за компьютером. В мои обычные обязанности входит печать документов, их подготовка для генерального директора, ответы на телефонные звонки и организация деловых встреч. Я также ответственна за предоставление новой корреспонденции и свежих газет своему начальнику, отсылку факсов и электронной почты. Иногда я перевожу письма с английского языка на русский. К тому же я отвечаю за встречу посетителей и предлагаю им чай или кофе. Еще я обязана заниматься организацией поездок и устройством в отеле для удобства командировок генерального директора.
У нас начинается обед в 1 час дня, я обычно хожу в кафе, расположенное в соседнем здании. Если я не слишком занята, я могу устроить один-два коротких перерыва на кофе в течение дня. У меня полный рабочий день с понедельника по пятницу, поэтому я нахожусь в офисе до 5 часов вечера. В конце каждого дня я получаю новые задания и делаю записи на следующий день от генерального директора и задаю ему возможные вопросы.
Не могу сказать, что моя работа очень интересная, иногда она монотонная или полна стрессов, но мне нравится знакомиться с новыми людьми, узнавать что-то новое и общаться. Думаю, что для подачи резюме на мою должность человеку нужно владеть хорошими навыками общения, способностью работать в команде под давлением и справляться со сложными ситуациями без чьей-либо помощи. Я понимаю, что моя должность не является престижной, и мне следует подниматься по служебной лестнице, поэтому сейчас я являюсь студенткой третьего курса университета, и через два года я его закончу и стану бухгалтером.
We spend great part of our lives at our jobs, so choosing a right career is one of the most important decisions you will make in your life. Many students finish high school and begin college without a clear idea of what they want to do in future. Part of the problem is the size of the job market itself. With so many kinds of jobs (2000) how can you tell which will interest you? Some of occupations are already overcrowded. In old industries there may be little need for new workers, while new and growing industries will offer jobs now and in the future. Therefor, it is extremely important to explore your choice of occupations from every angle, collect as much information as you can. But above all you must evaluate yourself. Find out where your interests and talents lie. Postponing a decision is an error people make. “I’ll get started tomorrow or next week, or next year,” – many people think. These people refuse to face the problem, hoping it will go away. But if you don’t take the first step now, how can you plan for the future, how can you take the right way? Such people miss many opportunities. First start with yourself, make a list of your interests, talents and abilities. Most people have a lot of these, but at the beginning they are undeveloped and may not seem outstanding. By concentrating on a few, or on one you may surprise yourself at how good you can get. The interest inventory that follows covers the major fields in which most people find careers: science, art, social service, business, sales and so on. Sometimes we say that someone we know is ‘a square peg in a round hole’. This means that person we are talking about is not suited for the job he is doing. Unfortunately, many people in the world are ‘square pegs’. But to be a ‘square peg’ is not a real problem, a real problem for millions of people is to be unemployed. Unemployment especially hits poor and working class families the hardest, not because this people are more likely to be unemployed, but because they don’t have financial resource to fall back on. Unemployment exists primarily for two reasons: first – the existence of millions of unemployed people tends to present most of those working from asking for higher wages since they can be replaced easily, second – in their search for profits, corporations are interested in finding the cheapest labor. As for our country more than 10% of our people are unemployed. There is no lack of work force in Russia, but at the resent moment the need for professional workers is increasing. Old industries are overcrowded and it is hard to get new education for people whose age is 35-40 years. The problem of unemployment is also connected with the economic crisis in our country. And I think when this crisis comes to an end the problem of unemployment will not be so urgent.
It is important for any of us to find our place in this world, to live and work and feel a part of a modern and progressive society. From the very childhood our parents teach us to study at school well, to get only good notes in order to go after that to a college and become a good specialist in some area. And it is actually a right way of thinking, as our job determines our living and personal character. That is why it is so important to choose an area of activity that would fit perfectly to you.
My perfect place of activity would be at some large industrial company, producing electrical part s for automobiles. I would work on planning how many people does a factory needs, which and how many equipments would be involved in the production process. I find this interesting to work in a big company dealing with big number of employees and having many production processes. I would like to be in the center of any problem resolving and take part in administration meetings where they discuss different problems and claims.
Of course it would be better if I would be a leader of a department, like a technical one. I would administrate different activities of employees, engage people and take part in their personal and professional development. I think it is interesting to be leader of a certain community of people, although it supposes big responsibility and much work. A good leader must be confident in making decisions and at the same time good and loyal to people he is responsible for. In any group of people sometimes conflicts happen and the main goal of a leader is to resolve them without hurting someone seriously. It takes time to become an experienced and wise leader, but I think I am ready to go in this direction and develop myself and prepare myself to be best leader ever.

Для каждого из нас очень важно найти свое место в мире, жить и работать и чувствовать себя частью современного и прогрессивного общества. С самого детства родители учат нас хорошо учиться в школе , получать хорошие оценки, для того чтобы стать хорошим специалистов в какой-о области. И это вообще-то хороший образ мышления, так как наша работа определяет нашу жизнь и личный характер. Поэтому это так важно выбрать подходящую область деятельности, которая идеально вам подойдет.
Мое идеальное место работы было бы в какой-то большой промышленной компании, производящей электрические запчасти для автомобилей. Я бы работал над планированием того, сколько людей нужно фабрике, какого и сколько оборудования должно быть задействовано в производственный процесс. Я нахожу это интересным работать в большой компании, имеющей дело с множеством рабочих, вовлеченных в большое количество производственных процессов. Я бы хотел быть в центре решения проблем и принимать участие в совещаниях администрации, где обсуждаются многие проблемы и жалобы.
Конечно, было бы лучше, если бы я был руководителем какого-то отдела, например технического. Я бы управлял разной деятельностью рабочих, нанимал бы людей, принимал участие в их личном и профессиональном росте. Я думаю, что это очень интересно быть лидером какого-то сообщества людей, хотя это предполагает большую ответственность и много труда. Хороший руководитель должен быть уверенным в принятии решений и в то же время хорошим и лояльным по отношению к людям, за которых он в ответе. В любой группе людей иногда случаются конфликты, и главная задача лидера разрешить их без того, чтобы кого-то серьезно обидеть. Чтобы стать опытным и мудрым руководителем нужно время, но я готов идти в этом направлении, развиваться и готовиться для того чтобы быть самым лучшим.
My name is Maxim Sviridov. I work as a manager at the “Star tour” company. It is a Russian company which works in the business travel market. Two weeks ago I was sent by the administration of our company to London where I studied the English travel companies, their traditions, their marketing and management. Now my business trip is coming to an end and I want to share my impressions of English business world with you.
First of all English businessmen are well known all over the world for their honesty and decency. If an Englishman gives you his word he will keep it in any case. Besides that, nothing can prevent him from refusing the once taken decision. Of course, there are some exclusions, but they are so rare that nobody should put attention on them.
During the last two weeks my working day was approximately the same. Early in the morning I took a taxi to my hosts’ headquarters, which is situated in the City – the business heart of London. First of all I usually asked Mrs. Lapital – my secretary if there were any letters or cables for me. Then she gave me my correspondence and fresh newspapers and I followed to my office-room. There I studied all documents that had come for my name and wrote a short report about previous business day and then faxed it to my native company in Vladivostok.
After that I went to Mr. Forsberg’s office-room to get tasks for the new day and ask some questions about their company, its history, traditions, clients, and so on. After that I usually did what Mr. Forsberg told. My usual job was meeting with potential clients, discussing their rest plans and offering the services of Mr. Forsberg’s company. I usually met 10 or 12 people a day. They were representatives of different social groups and communicating with them increased my knowledge of England, Englishmen and their psychology greatly.
This business trip was a great chance for me and I hope I used this chance fully. Now I know a lot about Western business world, about travel business and this knowledge will help me in my future career.
Перевод:
Меня зовут Максим Свиридов. Я работаю менеджером в компании “Звездный тур” . Это российская компания, которая работает на рынке туризма. Две недели назад я был послан администрации нашей компании в Лондон, где я изучал опыт английских туристических компаний, их традиции, их маркетинг и менеджмент. Теперь моя командировка подходит к концу, и я хочу поделиться своими впечатлениями об английском деловом мире с вами.
Прежде всего английские бизнесмены известны во всем мире своей честностью и порядочностью. Если англичанин дает вам свое слово, он будет держать его в любом случае. Кроме того, ничто не может помешать ему отказаться от однажды принятого решения. Конечно, есть некоторые исключения, но они настолько редки, что никто не должен обращать на них внимание.
За последние две недели мой рабочий день был примерно таким. Рано утром я ехал на такси в офис моих хозяев, который находится в Сити – деловом центре Лондона. Прежде всего, я обычно спрашивал миссис Лэпитэл – моего секретаря, если какие-либо письма или сообщения для меня. Тогда она давала мне мою переписку и свежие газеты, и я следовал в свой кабинет. Там я изучал все документы, которые пришли на мое имя и писал короткий отчет о предыдущем рабочем дне, а затем отсыдал его по факсу в мою родную компанию во Владивостоке.
После этого я шел в офис г-н Форсберга, чтобы получить задачи для нового дня и задать несколько вопросов о его компании, ее истории, традициях, клиентах и так далее. После этого я обычно делал то, что г-н Форсберг сказал. Моя обычная работа – встречи с потенциальными клиентами, обсуждение их планов на отдых и предложение услуг компании г-н Форсберга. Я обычно встречался с 10 или 12 людьми в день. Они были представителями различных социальных групп и общение с ними значительно увеличило мои знания Англии, англичан и их психологии.
Эта командировка была большим шансом для меня, и я надеюсь, что я использовал этот шанс в полной мере. Теперь я знаю много о западном мире бизнеса, о деловых поездках и эти знания помогут мне в моей будущей карьере.
There is no doubt that talent can helps in achieving success. But not all agree with the statement. Some people suppose that only hard work allow to be successful.
I agree with the point of view that hard work is the key to life which filled your life success and self-respect. To begin with, own effort can helps us become independent and find the feeling confident. Secondly, hard-working persons move up the career ladder faster than those people which rely on talent. Then we can say that hard-working are respected in the society.
Nevertheless, some people have another point of view. They suppose that there is nothing better than rely on talent. Firstly, these people never consider hard work is something important. Then they believe that a gifted person can work with break. In addition, they do not believe that way to success may be hard.
Despite this fact I respect, I hardly agree with these people because talent will not survive with no hard work. When you are very talented, hard work is needed. A great work reduced to successful self-realization. It is going to be obvious when you make better use of time.
To cut a long story short, your independent choice influence your future career and life and also allow to be realized. Either make efforts to work or not is your own wish.
A Job for Teenagers
Работа для подростков
Many people do not like working. Sometimes it is connected with their profession which they do not like. Sometimes people have problems with the administration or colleagues. Some people choose the work they like and do not have such problems. The reasons why people work vary. Some people just want to earn money for a living. Other people just like working.
Многие люди не любят работать. Иногда это связано с их профессией, которая им не нравится. Иногда у людей возникают проблемы с начальством или коллегами. Некоторые люди выбирают понравившуюся работу и не имеют таких проблем. Причины, по которым люди работают, меняются. Некоторые люди просто хотят зарабатывать на жизнь. Другие просто любят работать.
Not only adults want or have to work. Nowadays many teenagers work. The reasons why teenagers work can be similar: some of them just earn money and other teenagers just want to work. Modern teenagers, unlike our ancestors, seldom have to work to support the family. As a rule, they work to have more pocket money. However there are also those who have to pay for the study or support their families.
Не только взрослые хотят или должны работать. В настоящее время многие подростки работают. Причины, по которым они работают, могут быть похожими: некоторые из них просто зарабатывают деньги, а другие просто хотят работать. Современные подростки, в отличие от наших предков, редко вынуждены работать, чтобы прокормить свою семью. Как правило, они работают, чтобы иметь больше карманных денег. Однако есть и те, кто должен платить за учебу или помогать своей семье.
There are plenty of choices to earn money, for example, car washing, leafleting, working at office and so on. Car washing is one of the most popular ways to earn money among teenagers. Many classmates of mine wash cars in summer. It is hard to explain why they choose it.
Есть много вариантов заработать деньги, например, мыть машины, раздавать листовки, работать в офисе и так далее. Мытье машин – один из самых популярных способов заработать деньги среди подростков. Многие мои одноклассники работают на автомойках летом. Трудно объяснить, почему они выбирают именно это.
However there are some problems and risks connected with the work arrangement, honesty of the administration and payment. There are many cases when employers deceive teenagers and do not pay money. I think the government should pay much attention to these problems and support working teenagers.
Однако есть некоторые проблемы и риски, связанные с организацией работ, честностью начальства и оплатой труда. Есть много случаев, когда работодатели обманывали подростков и не платили им. Я думаю, что правительству следует уделять больше внимания этим проблемам и поддерживать работающих подростков.

Топик по английскому языку “At Work: Jobs – На работе: профессии”
My name is Martha Glass. I’m thirty-nine years old and I’m a doctor. I chose the medical profession because I wanted to help people and at the same time make good money. When I was younger I wanted to become a teacher or a nurse, but I soon realized there wasn’t much money in either of those professions.
My parents almost didn’t help me, because they didn’t want me to have a career at all. They wanted me to do what so many other girls did. They wanted me to become a secretary, marry the boss, have kids and stay at home. Well, I got married, and I had kids, but I have my career as well.
Hi. I’m Billy. 1 left school when I was sixteen. I didn’t have any qualification. I just wanted to earn some money. I got a job in a factory. I didn’t mind being a blue-collar worker. All I wanted was enough money to take my girlfriend out on a Saturday night. But then they got robots in to do my job and I was out of work.
I was out of work for sixteen months. It’s terrible being unemployed. The days seem so long. I finally got a job as an unskilled labourer, working for a builder. I’m twenty-five now. I suppose I should go to night classes and get some extra training so that I can earn more money as a skilled worker can.
My name is George Rushton. I’m a businessman. I’m fifty years old and I’ve been working for the same company for twenty-five years. I think I’ve had a very successful career. I started work with the company as a poorly paid clerk. I was one of those nine-to-five white-collar office workers who spend all day with a pencil in one hand and a telephone in the other.
I hated it. So I was transferred to sales and became one of the company’s sales representatives. I travelled all over the country selling the company’s products and became the most successful salesperson on the staff. In ten years I have been promoted to manager of the sales department. In another ten years I hope to retire with a good pension.
Перевод топика: На работе: профессии
Меня зовут Марта Гласе. Мне тридцать девять лет, я врач. Я выбрала профессию медика, потому что хотела помогать людям и в то же время хорошо зарабатывать. Когда я была моложе, то хотела стать учителем или медсестрой, но вскоре поняла, что люди этих профессий много не зарабатывают.
Мои родители мне почти не помогали, потому что вообще не хотели, чтобы я занималась карьерой. Они хотели, чтобы я поступала так же, как и многие другие девушки. Они хотели, чтобы я стала секретарем, вышла замуж за начальника, имела детей и сидела дома. Я вышла замуж, у меня появились дети, но я сделала и карьеру.
Привет. Меня зовут Билли. Я окончил школу, когда мне было шестнадцать. У меня не было никакой квалификации. Я только хотел заработать немного денег. Я получил работу на фабрике. Я ничего не имел против того, чтобы стать рабочим, «синим воротничком». Все, что я хотел, так это иметь достаточно денег, чтобы повести куда-нибудь свою девушку в субботу вечером. Но затем появились роботы, которые выполняли мою работу, и я остался безработным.
У меня не было работы в течение шестнадцати месяцев. Это ужасно — быть безработным. Дни кажутся такими длинными. Я наконец устроился на работу чернорабочим низкой квалификации, подсобным строителя. Сейчас мне двадцать пять. Я считаю, что мне нужно идти в вечернюю школу и получить дополнительное образование, чтобы я мог зарабатывать больше денег как квалифицированный рабочий.
Меня зовут Джордж Руштон. Я бизнесмен. Мне пятьдесят лет, и я работаю в одной и той же компании в течение двадцати пяти лет. Думаю, что у меня была очень успешная карьера. Я начал работу в компании в качестве клерка с маленькой зарплатой. Я был одним из тех сотрудников офиса с белыми воротничками, которые работают с девяти до пяти и проводят весь день с карандашом в одной руке и телефоном в другой.
Я возненавидел такую работу. Меня перевели в отдел продаж, и я стал одним из коммерческих представителей компании. Я путешествовал по всей стране, продавая изделия компании, и стал самым удачливым продавцом. Через десять лет меня выдвинули на должность менеджера коммерческого отдела. Еще через десять лет я надеюсь уволиться с хорошей пенсией.

Questions:
There is a wide choice of different professions and I`d like to tell you about my hesitation what to choose. In my childhood I wanted to become a famous singer or actor but when I was aware of all the difficulties of these professions I decided to refuse of my dream. Then I was going to become a vet. I imagined myself treating different animals, taking care of them, feeding and walking with them in the park, but this dream hadn`t also come true.
It goes without saying that every person must choose his profession according his natural abilities and inclinations to it. So I have decided to connect my life with a profession of a teacher because I am sure that it`s my cup of tea. On the one hand it`s a great responsibility for children, on the other hand it`s a very interesting, exciting and valuable profession in our life. Besides you won`t be able to succeed as a teacher if you don`t like children. Your success depends on a lot of things. At first you should be communicative, very organized and hardworking. You must be skilful in your profession. It is also necessary to understand pupils, give them a helping hand and be ready to solve their problems. More than that you must be polite and tactful.
Profession of a teacher is a great profession and it is known that who doesn`t work in this sphere, won`t be able to understand all the essence of it.
Nowadays there are thousands of different occupations but the most important role in choosing this or that one, plays a salary, of course. It is so, but to my mind, it`s impossible to work only for that purpose “earning a lot of money”.Our job must bring us satisfaction and always only pleasant emotions. So in conclusion I`d like to advise people to choose their profession carefully, taking every thing into their consideration.

Мой рабочий день
Nowadays there are plenty of professions and working places in the world. What the work time schedule looks like depends on the particular job. My profession is a translator.

В будни я обычно встаю в 7 часов. Я застилаю постель, открываю окно и делаю зарядку. Потом иду в ванную, где чищу зубы и умываюсь. Если у меня достаточно времени, принимаю контрастный душ. После ванной я возвращаюсь в комнату, где одеваюсь и розчісуюся. Через десять минут я готов к завтраку. После завтрака я надеваю плащ, беру портфель и иду к школы. Поскольку я живу недалеко от школы, чтобы добраться туда, мне нужно только 5-7 минут. Я не хочу опаздывать на первый урок и поэтому прихожу в школу за несколько минут до звонка. Я оставляю плащ в гардеробе и поднимаюсь в класс. Уроки начинаются в восемь часов утра и заканчиваются в полвторого. После уроков я иду домой и обедаю. После обеда я немного отдыхаю, потом читаю газеты и журналы. Потом я делаю уроки. В школе мы изучаем много предметов, и подготовка домашнего задания занимает три часа или даже больше. Иногда я иду в библиотеку подготовиться к практическим занятий или написать доклад. Как правило, в будни у меня не остается свободного времени. В нашей семье восемь часов – время ужина. Мы все вместе собираемся на кухне, потом идем в гостиную и смотрим телевизор, читаем книги или обсуждаем различные вопросы. Дважды в неделю вечером я хожу в школу играть в волейбол. Я член школьной волейбольной команды, и тренировки в нас довольно поздно. Я ложусь спать около одиннадцати часов ночи.
Мій робочий день
У будень я звичайно встаю о 7 годині. Я застеляю постіль, відкриваю вікно і роблю зарядку. Потім йду у ванну, де чищу зуби й умиваюся. Якщо в мене досить часу, приймаю контрастний душ. Після ванної я повертаюся в кімнату, де вдягаюся і розчісуюся. Через десять хвилин я готовий до сніданку. Після сніданку я одягаю плащ, беру портфель і йду до школи. Оскільки я живу недалеко від школи, щоб добратися туди, мені потрібно тільки 5—7 хвилин. Я не хочу спізнюватися на перший урок і тому приходжу в школу за кілька хвилин до дзвоника. Я залишаю плащ у гардеробі і піднімаюся в клас. Уроки починаються о восьмій годині ранку і закінчуються о пів на другу. Після уроків я йду додому й обідаю. Після обіду я трохи відпочиваю, потім читаю газети і журнали. Потім я роблю уроки. У школі ми вивчаємо багато предметів, і підготовка домашнього завдання займає три години чи навіть більше. Іноді я йду в бібліотеку підготуватися до практичних занять чи написати доповідь. Як правило, в будень у мене не залишається вільного часу. У нашій родині восьма година — час вечері. Ми усі разом збираємося на кухні, потім йдемо у вітальню і дивимося телевізор, читаємо книги чи обговорюємо різні питання. Двічі на тиждень увечері я ходжу в школу грати у волейбол. Я член шкільної волейбольної команди, і тренування в нас досить пізно. Я лягаю спати близько одинадцятої години ночі.
