Ex. 14. Translate the following sentences

1. Сейчас во многих странах много безработных. Особенно много безработных среди молодых людей только что окончивших школу. У них нет необходимого образования и опыта работы. Часто, чтобы получить необходимую для работы квалификацию (образование), надо окончить специальные курсы. Молодые люди в течение года получают пособие по безработице. Они ищут работу, обращаются в специальные агентства и просматривают объявления в газете и Интернете.

2. Мэри хотела получить место секретаря в отеле, но на это место было 40 кандидатов. Она не получила его, теперь она согласна на любую работу, так как ей надоело стоять в очереди за пособием каждую неделю.

3. Роджеру за 50. Он проработал в одной компании более 30 лет. Из-за экономических трудностей в компании, он попал под сокращение. Он опять начал искать работу, но т.к. ему уже за 50, он получил много отказов. Все кандидаты были моложе его, хотя у них было меньше опыта. Ему необходимо получить новую профессию, но никто не хочет обучать человека, который скоро должен уйти на пенсию.
