My future plans - Мой план на будущее
It is very important for everybody to make the right choice (1) of profession. And it is no wonder because there are a lot of honourable professions at your disposal (2) to obtain, for example, the profession of a teacher, a doctor, a computer-operator, an engineer, a journalist, an agronomist, a miner, a fitter (3) , etc. It is difficult for the young people of seventeen to give a definite answer. I have known for a long time that leaving school is the beginning of my independent life, the beginning of a far more serious examination of my abilities and character.
Вводная фраза: Well, I would like to start with a general description.
Что изображено: This photo (picture) shows a seaside resort (морской курорт) in summer. The weather is hot that’s why the beach is full of people.
Детали: There are no clouds in the sky and it looks light blue. Аs for the sea, it is a bit rough, I can see the waves, so the light wind is probably blowing.
In the foreground just a bit to the right there is a big merry-go-round. I can guess that a lot of children are riding horses there. They may be laughing, shouting, in other words, they are having fun.
Another kind of attraction is situated to the left of the first one. It looks smaller and at first sight you can suppose that it is a merry-go-round, too. But if you look closer, you can see that it might be a kiosk with some food or souvenirs because people are standing around probably looking for something to buy.
The beach is very crowded. The people are lying on the sand and swimming in the sea.
Не забудьте о заднем фоне: In the background I can make out the outline of a white pier (пирс) which stands out against the blue sky.
Заключение: As for me, I have enjoyed a lot describing this cheerful picture. This sunny beach makes me feel optimistic because in a few weeks I hope I will be enjoying swimming in the sea, too.
