CHOOSING A CAREER
Choosing a career is not an easy matter. I am leaving school in two years and I haven't yet
decided which profession to choose. There are a lot of interesting things in the world, so it
is difficult to make the right choice.
In childhood I wanted to be a pilot, then I wanted to become a fireman. But now I have to
think about my future
1____________ seriously. Some people
are good at Maths, Physics
and Biology, others enjoy History, Literature and Geography.
In my opinion I am good at
foreign languages. My favourite language is English. I like it very much and I want to be
either a teacher of English or an interpreter. I like watching films in English, reading books
in the original and listening to music in English. If you are
2____________ at Maths and you
want your profession to
be connected with this subject, you should start studying it very
seriously. The same is with other subjects.
My father wants me to follow in his footsteps and become a businessman. But I am not
interested in business or economics. I have always been bad at
these subjects and I want
my profession to be connected with
3____________. My mother says that I should choose
my future occupation myself. But I am still not sure what to
4____________. Of course
there are a lot of
special books about different 5____________. In addition,
a lot of
universities and institutes have open house days, so I can go there and choose a good place
for my future studies.
However, it is very difficult to enter a university. If you do not have money and if you are
not a genius, you will never enter a good university or an institute. I have some friends who
were in this situation and they had to choose a career not to their interests and liking.
Sometimes young people choose a career they are interested in, they enter a university and
after some time they understand that this
6____________ is not for them,
they get poor
marks and have to leave the university.
