Lesson 20 - 21 choice of profession

What profession to choose? This question is the most important and difficult for everybody. Every job is both interesting and difficult. I think that all profes­sions are very important in our life. But to choose the right occupation is very difficult, because we must consider many factors. We must consider our personal tastes and at the same time we must satisfy the re­quirements of our society.

Some people keep family traditions and choose the profession of their parents. Very often young people themselves make the choice of profession. Some may prefer to work in factories or at big plants, others want to go into construction: to take part in building power stations and new towns. Many opportunities are offered in the sphere of services, transport, communi­cations and many others. Young men can work and satisfy at the same time the requirements of society and their own personal interests.

The end of school is the beginning of an independ­ent life, the beginning of more serious examinations. Some boys and girls try to enter Institutes and Uni­versities where they can use the knowledge and educa­tion received at school. Some are trying to find a good job.

I have decided to become a …. I like this profession because it is very interesting.
