1. Read the interview and make a list of arguments for and against part-time jobs for pupils.

— Mr Chapman, I hear there is a tendency of teenagers taking jobs in Great Britain. Is this really so?
— I would say yes. We all know that teenagers need money. The pocket money they get from their parents isn’t enough to pay for mobile phone calls, the new CDs they want to have and going out with their friends in the evenings. A lot of teens prefer not to ask their parents for more money. Instead they get part-time jobs. That’s what about a million schoolchildren in the UK do.
— And what jobs do they usually get?
— The most popular jobs for teenagers are babysitting and getting newspapers to people’s houses in the mornings and evenings. Other jobs that young people do include working in shops, hotels and coffee shops. They also do dog walking and cleaning.
- Do young people who work get the same money as grown-up people do or they are paid less?
- They are not paid the same money. Many people think they are too young to get much money.
- But should young people be working at all?
— That’s a very good question. You see, most teenagers are really very busy. Schools give them a lot of homework and many pupils have to prepare for their future exams. Besides it is important for teenagers to have time for a social life and to do their hobbies. If teenagers have a job, they can be too tired to do their schoolwork properly.
— And yet they try to get a job, don’t they?
— Many of them do and, in my view, that’s a growing tendency.

2. Write about a job you once did or what kind of part-time job you would like to choose for yourself.
(if you never did a job and are not going to take one, explain why.)

) If he was an honest man, he would return the money. 2) If you listened to the radio yesterday, you would have known about the earthquake. 3) We would send her a telegram if we knew her address. 4) If Denisov played yesterday for our team, we would have won. 5) You would not cough so much if you did not smoke so much. 6) If he had not heard the barking of a dog, he would have died. 7) If I had a dog, I would not abandon it. 8) I knew about this exhibition before, I would visit it. 9) Whether Nicholas is now in Moscow, he would have helped us. 10) Where would you go if you had a vacation in the winter?

My hobby is drawing
Hobbies make our life more colouful and they keep us occupied in our leisure time. And I believe hobbies help us both to relax and to develop.

My favourite hobby is drawing. I started drawing when I was five. My mother was a great teacher in my childhood, she always encouraged me and praised my funny drawings. She even decorated the house with them. And the best presents on my parents’ and grandparents’ birthdays were also my drawings. Of course I was pleased and quite proud of my works. Since then this hobby has become a very important part of my life.

I studied drawing from the special literature containing different sketches. I learnt to imitate drawing nature, beautiful buildings, human faces and bodies, animals and birds. I practiced in making them realistic and natural. My hobby made me observe the world around me every minute of my life. I realized that observation was the main thing in the art of painting and drawing.

Today drawing and painting are so much fun to me. I just need a paint brush and watercolour, crayons or pencils and some drawing paper. And I feel happy and never get bored with my hobby. I try to show all my devotion, imagination and creativity in my works. Mostly I am fond of still-lives and landscapes in light colours. Although it happens sometimes that I suddenly take a pen and start drawing whatever comes to my mind. I don’t consider myself to be a great artist and I still have much to be improved but my friends are always amazed at my pictures and they find them unique.

Drawing brings me real satisfaction. It is my own little world. And I hope one day it will help me to focus on my goal and become a graphic designer.
