When I’m thinking about my future I cannot say for sure what it will be like. Many of teenagers do not know what they want to become. But I am sure that the most important things for me in future will be my profession and family. My opinion is that good education is necessary to get a good job. Profession is a very important choice that will define all of my future life. I am glad that my parents support me.
I’m going to enter university after graduation from school. I want to become an economist and to work in bank. I know that nowadays there are many economists who cannot get a job. But as for me, I really have great interest and talent for Mathematics and economics; also I am a hard-working and responsible person that’s why I hope I will manage to succeed. High-qualified specialists are always needed.
What’s more I want to have my own family in future. You cannot go far without true close person you love beside you. I’m planning to have kids and to live in my own apartments. As for our family now is rather big but our flat is small enough and also it’s on the eighth floor I cannot have a pet. But I love dogs very much. So, in my future life I will surely have one, because a dog is like a real friend.
Of course I hope I’ll have possibility to travel and to meet interesting people in future. I want to drive a car. Now it sounds like a dream but these are things I want to have and to do. I am sure that plans begin from dreams. And I hope that my future holds a lot of nice surprises for me!
Перевод:
Когда я размышляю о своем будущем, я не могу сказать наверняка, каким оно будет. Многие подростки не знают, кем они хотят стать. Но я уверен, что самыми важными вещами для меня в будущем будут семья и работа. Мое мнение – хорошее образование необходимо для того, чтобы устроиться на хорошую работу. Профессия – это очень важный выбор, который определяет всю будущую жизнь. Я рад, что мои родители поддерживают меня.
Я собираюсь поступить в университет после окончания школы. Я хочу стать экономистом и работать в банке. Я знаю, что многие экономисты сейчас не могут найти работу. Однако, у меня действительно есть огромный интерес и к математики и экономике. Кроме того, я трудолюбивый и ответственный человек, поэтому я надеюсь, что добьюсь успеха. Высококвалифицированные специалисты всегда нужны.
Более того, я хочу иметь свою семью в будущем. Далеко не уйдешь без верного и близкого человека, которого ты любишь, рядом. Я планирую иметь детей и жить в собственном доме. Так как сейчас наша семья довольно большая ,а наша квартира маленькая и находится на 8 этаже, я не могу завести домашнее животное. А я очень люблю собак. В будущем у меня обязательно будет собака – ведь она настоящий друг.
Конечно, я надеюсь, что у меня будет возможность путешествовать и знакомится с интересными людьми в будущем. Я хочу водить машину. Сейчас это звучит, как мечта, но это то, чем я хочу заниматься и что иметь. Я уверен, что планы начинаются с мечтаний. А еще я надеюсь, что мое будущее приготовило мне много приятных сюрпризов!
People in contemporary world can hardly imagine their lives without technology. Different people appreciate new inventions differently. As for me, I am pretty sure that gadgets make people`s lives easier. Technology disk can contain the same amount of information as several thick books.So, machines help people in different spheres. Every day either a new gadget is invented or an old one is improved. Furthermore, more and more people are becoming addicted to their modern gadgets, for instance computers, TVs or mobile phones. But I firmly believe that in spite of all drawbacks, gadgets have, their benefits are much more considerable, as they save people`s time and let them enjoy life.
