MY FUTURE PROFESSION

    I’d like to tell you about my future profession. There are two most important things in anyone’s life: choosing a career and getting a job. Some pupils know what they are going to do after leaving school but for others it’s difficult to give a definite answer about their future profession. We get to know about a wide range of professions from advertisements and then we make either our own choice or follow our parents’ advice as they are also concerned about our future.

    While choosing a career we should take into consideration all the benefits it can give us. First of all, it should be interesting. Secondly, one has to be sure to be able to find a good and well-paid job after graduation. Another important factor that affects the choice of the profession is our abilities to different disciplines. One has to analyze thoroughly which things or subjects she or he is good at, and only then make a final choice.

    As for me, since my childhood I’ve known I want to be an interpreter. My choice is closely connected with the importance of foreign languages and cultures which is increasing nowadays. Foreign languages are necessary for communication with people all over the world. I am sure that English is the most universal and widely spread. It’s an official language in a great number of countries. Besides, it’s the language of international sports, medicine, music, the language of science and technology, trade, cultural and business relations.

    I’m quite aware that the job of an interpreter isn’t an easy one. You have to be very communicative and responsible. Moreover, be prepared to work long hours and move around a lot. But on the other hand you’ll have the chance to travel to different foreign countries and to meet a lot of interesting people. I consider this profession being worth taking up. As a student of the University I pay special attention to English and try to work hard. I hope I’ve made the right choice.
