Future profession and career

 

Finishing school is the beginning of the independent life for millions of school leavers. Many roads are open to them: technical schools, institutes and universities. But it is not an easy thing to choose a profession out of more than 2000 existing professions in the world. Some pupils follow the advice of their parents, others can't decide even after leaving school.

Choosing the kind of career to follow is probably one of the most important decisions you will ever make. Before you make this decision you will have to do a lot of thinking about who you are, about the things you like to do and the things you do well.

Not all professions require higher education and they are of great demand now and satisfy the needs of society. But it goes without saying that for every occupation you have to acquire necessary skills and practical experience.

Your career is an evolving thing and it depends on your abilities and education. Being a highly educated person gives you top priority and a position in society and what is most important – self-satisfaction.

But whatever profession you choose if you are able to balance your wants and needs with your goals, talents and skills, you will be passionate about your work!

I. Read the text “Future profession and career” and answer the question:

 

What do you want to be when you graduate from the university?

English Tenses (Active)

В русском языке существует три категории времен глагола: настоящее, прошедшее и будущее. Каждое из этих времен имеет одну общую характерную черту – отнесенность ко времени: настоящему, прошедшему или будущему.

В английском языке глагол, помимо отнесенности ко времени (настоящее, прошедшее и будущее), имеет еще одну черту – характер протекания действия:

 

· действие обычное, повторяющееся;

· действие, продолжающееся какой-то период времени;

· действие, завершенное к определенному моменту;

· действие, длящееся до определенного момента времени.

 

В соответствии с этим выделяют четыре группы времен: Simple (Indefinite), Continuous, Perfect и Perfect Continuous.

 

 

	SIMPLE V	CONTINUOUS be + V-ing	PERFECT have + V-ed (V3)	PERFECT CONTINUOUS have been + V-ing
PRESENT	ask(s) действие совершается обычно     usually/generally always/never often/seldom sometimes/every day	am is asking are действие в процессе, совершается в тот момент, когда о нем говорят   now at present at the moment Look! Listen!	have asked has совершившееся действие, связано с настоящим     ever/never just/already/yet lately/recently this week/today by now/for/since	have been asking has действие в процессе, начавшееся в прошлом и продолжающееся до настоящего момента for a month/ a long time since 5 o’clock how long/ since when
PAST	asked took     действие совершалось в прошлом   yesterday last week 3 days ago in 2006	was asking were действие в процессе, совершалось в определенный момент или в течение четко ограниченного периода времени в прошлом   at 5 yesterday from 5 to 6 yesterday all day long/ the whole day when we came	had asked предпрошедшее время, действие завершилось до определенного момента в прошлом   by 5 o’clock yesterday before he came by the end of last year	had been asking действие в процессе, начавшееся до определенного момента в прошлом и еще продолжавшееся в этот момент He had been workingfor 2 hours when my brother came.
FUTURE	will ask действие совершится в будущем   tomorrow next week in 3 days	will be asking действие в процессе, будет совершаться в определенный момент в будущем     at 5 tomorrow from 5 to 6 tomorrow all day long tomorrow when he comes	will have asked действие уже совершится к определенному моменту в будущем     by 5 o’clock tomorrow when he comes by next summer	will have been asking действие в процессе, которое начнется до определенного момента в будущем и будет продолжаться в этот момент When you come, I’ll have been workingfor 2 hours.
