Additional study: Professions
I. Read and translate the text “I want to be a programmer”
I want to become a computer programmer. I am interested in computers. It is a whole new world.
Many people continue careers of their parents or grand parents but it is not the case with me. My mother is a teacher and my father is a doctor. But I don't want to be neither a teacher nor a doctor. My favorite subjects in school were mathematics, physics, and, of course, computer science. I am not interested in such subjects as geography, biology or chemistry.
My hobby is computer games and computer programming. I have a computer at home and can spend hours working at 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 changed something.
I think that the profession of programmer can give many opportunities. Computers are the most rapidly changing sphere of modern technology. Today, in England or in the US people can work, go shopping or even go on dates sitting at their computers.
So that’s why I finished school and entered the Astrakhan College of Building and Economics and now I study computer science.
II. Read and translate the text “I want to be a land manager”
I want to be a land manager. My dad is a land manager and he told me a lot about this profession.
Land management is the process of managing the use and development of land resources. If you work as a land manager you can improve the efficiency of land resource use to support the rapidly growing population of many countries.
Also you provide incentives for development, including the provision of residential housing and basic infrastructure such as sewer and water facilities.
I like the nature in my region very much and this job includes protecting the natural environment from degradation. I am interested in the economics and that’s the other reason I picked this profession because it provides equitable and efficient access to the economic benefits of land and real estate markets and supports government services through taxation and fees related to land and improvements.
So now I study land management in the Astrakhan College of Building and Economics.
III. Read and translate the text “I want to be a cadastre”
I decided to become a cadastre and I entered the Astrakhan College of Building and Economics. The Cadastre is the primary means of providing information about property rights.
More specifically, the Cadastre provides the private and public sector with: information identifying those people who have interests in parcels of land; information about those interests (e.g. nature and duration of rights, restrictions, and responsibilities); information about the parcels (e.g. their location, size, improvements, value).
I also know that graphical indices of these parcels, known as cadastral maps, show the relative location of all parcels in a given region. Large maps show buildings, irrigation units. Land value, ownership, or use, can be accessed by the unique parcel codes shown on the cadastral map.
The profession of a cadastre plays an important role in the regulation of land use. Land use regulations stipulate conditions for the initial establishment of a parcel, the use to which the land will be put, parcel size, the necessary access to water and sewerage, roads, etc.
I hope I will become a good specialist.
