Хід заняття

JOB DESCRIPTION

A very special person

For a very special post.

Someone who knows how to cook,

(Especially beans on toast.)

Someone who can clean the house

And drive the children to school,

And buy the food and clothes and shoes

And use most household tools.

A teacher of all subjects,

A referee of all fights,

Who as a relief from boredom,

Is an ‘on call’ nurse at night.

A Hairdresser and swimming coach,

At ease with dogs and cats,

(And hamster, rabbits, fish and snakes,

Stick insects, birds and rats)

Has laundry skills, is a taxi cab,

Makes costumes for school plays.

Who never goes off duty,

And whom no one ever pays.

By Daphne Kitching (Mother)

Read to the interview and be ready to discuss it.

FACING THE REAL WORLD

– Have you already begun developing your plans for the future?

– It is very difficult to give a definite answer right now. But every time I am asked the question “What do you want to be?” I feel nervous. I usually never tell the truth and say “ I haven’t the slightest idea” and try to sound mysteriously.

– But why?

– That makes other people feel more nervous than me.

– Have you ever turned to your parents for advice?

– Oh. My mother is convinced that I should follow in the footsteps of my father and become a lawyer. My granny thinks that I should find a nice wealthy man to marry. And my father says “Just do what makes you happy”. My uncle encourages me by promising a job in his company. Being child I wanted to be like a cashier in the supermarket with long hair, blue eye shadows and long fingernail moving the cash. But my mother would say “You are not suitable for the job like that. You are too smart”. It is a very difficult to face the real world after being spooned with knowledge at school. And the question “What do you want to be?” never used to be threatening like now.

What if I choose the wrong thing and feel regret a mistake in future? Of course like everyone I have some skills and interests and inclinations. But they seem to be undeveloped and may seem outstanding.

I realize that I should plan out the rest of my life and explore my choice from every angle, but I have never thought more than six months ahead.

There is one thing I know I wouldn’t like to be “a square in a round hole”.

Questions for discussion

1. What problems are involved in this interview?

2. Why is the girl afraid to enter the real world after being spoonfed with knowledge at school.

3. What does the real world mean for her? And for you?

4. Why does her mother say that she is too smart to be a cashier?

5. Does it mean that a man doing a less prestigious work is a loser?

6. The girl doesn’t want to be a square peg in a round hole. Do you know someone who is a square peg in a round hole?

7. What would you do if you were in the same situation? Give your piece of advice.

My Future Profession (Business Economics)

There are many interesting and useful professions and it is really not an easy task to choose the right one.

I began to think about my future profession at the age of 15. My favourite subjects at school were mathematics and English. My teachers were well-educated people with broad outlook and deep knowledge of the subjects. They encouraged me in my desire to become an economist. Now I know well what I'm going to do after leaving school. I didn't make a blind choice. It was not a sudden flash either. I opted for a career in business economics. I came to this decision little by little. It was my father who aroused my interest in that field. You see, he is a chief economist at a large plant and I often saw him work at home and discuss business matters with his colleagues. Later I got interested in the matter.

Economics is the science of making choices, which is based upon the facts of our everyday life. Economists study our everyday life and the system, which affects it. They try to describe the facts of the economy in which we live and to explain how the system works. The science of economics is concerned with all our material needs and wants.

To become a good specialist in economic matters and business one must know many sciences, such as business economics, finance and credits, statistics, history of economic theory and philosophy, mathematics, as well as economic management, trade business and, of course, marketing, which is a modern philosophy of business.

It is very important for a specialist in business matters to be a skilful user of computers and to speak at least one foreign language. It should better be English as it is the most popular language of international business communication. You'll be able to follow business developments in the world by listening to radio and TV news, by reading newspapers or magazines, or by getting in contact with your business partners abroad.

If I pass my entrance exams successfully and enter the University I'll try to study to the best of my abilities to achieve my life's ambition and to justify the hopes of my parents. I also hope that I'll never regret my choice and get a well-paid and interesting job afterwards.

Maybe I should consider a job in a world of banking. There's a surprisingly wide range to choose from, in the financial world. For example, I could work for a big international company, run my own company, write about economics as a financial journalist, run my own International Business Research Agency, raise money for charities or just sell famous paintings...
