Text 2. I want to be a programmer

I want to become a computer programmer. I am interested in computers. My favourite subject in school was Computer Science.

My hobby is computer games and computer programming. I have got a computer at home and can spend hours working with it.

It is much easier to do things on computer, for example to write a composition. You can change the text as many times as you want and you don’t need to rewrite everything if you have changed something. You can even go on dates sitting at your computer.

We are living in the age of technology and the profession of programmer can give you a lot of opportunities. I think future will belong to computers.
