questions.
Text A My future profession
Choosing your future profession or trade is a
difficult choice, but an important one; nobody else
can make it for you.
 I want to tell you about my plans for the future. I
would like to work with people rather than with
figures and numbers. I want to travel much and see
other places and meet different people. One of the
opportunities for this is to work for a foreign
enterprise in Russia or to work abroad for a big
national company. You also travel much if you
work for the travel agency. It is logical. And as far
as I know, this kind of job is well paid.

Of course, it is quite difficult to qualify for such
a job. You need a very good educational level
and good command of spoken and written
foreign language, computer skills and, finally,
some experience.
 I also think that it is quite impossible to have a
sufficient level of English after finishing the . It
is also necessary to have classes outside the
college. University because two or four hours a
week is not enough and the groups are so large
as a rule.


One more factor which really helps to have a good
command of English is the communication with
native speakers. And, of course, reading books in
English helps a lot. It is especially useful to read
books on marketing, business, economics and
management in the original. When one knows the
special vocabulary of the subject, it will be much
easier to communicate with your colleagues from
other countries.
