Making a Choice

1)- Say, Steve, why haven’t you chosen a profession to your calling?

- But I have. I’m really a surgeon by calling.

- I shouldn’t say so. You seem to be very good at repairing TV sets and tape recorders.

- Well, it’s nothing but hobby.

2) - Ann, have you made up your mind what career you will take up?

- Well, it’s a bit too early to decide on my career. I haven’t even got to the Academy yet.

- Not at all. One must think of such things in good time. As for me

I’m sure you are cut out to be a dress designer.

-I’ve thought of that but....

- But what?

- I’m afraid I know nothing about the difficulties of this profession.

4.2 Прочтите текст и определите его основную тему. Отметьте для себя слова, которые помогли вам в этом.

What is your Line?

Do you remember the time when you were schoolchildren?

School! Lessons, games, clubs, homework! But the day came when you went to school for the last time. And you were to decide what to do after that. People who have known since their childhood what they will become after leaving school are not numerous. For many young people to decide on the career is not an easy task.

Every day you meet people with different jobs. You buy food, clothes, books from a shop assistant. You meet teachers at school and doctors at the hospital. The construction workers built the house you live in. Many have become engineers, economists, journalists, lawyers, etc. How did they choose their jobs out of hundreds that there are?

Before you can choose, you must ask yourself a lot of questions. What do you enjoy doing? What do you know you are good at? Do you enjoy working with your hands or do you prefer using your head-your brains? Are you interested in machines? Or do you like meeting people? Where do you prefer to work? At an office, at a factory, at home?

There are jobs indoors and jobs in the open air. There are jobs where you have to sit down and jobs where you have to stand up.

It is difficult to know all the answers to these questions. But many people never think about them. Many teenagers choose a “popular” trade and are sure that this is just what they want. But soon afterwards they realize they have made a mistake which is sometimes difficult to correct.

It’s very important to feel that the job is your calling. But how do you know this if you haven’t worked yet? Try to remember what you enjoyed doing in your childhood. Perhaps you spent a lot of time designing and making clothes for your dolls. Many girls try to choose something that is closer to their nature-making dresses, for example. Every girl wants to be nicely dressed. Some can make dresses for themselves, others will have to go to a dressmaking establishment to have their clothes made or else buy ready-made clothes. But someone has to make them too. It is so nice to be able to make people happy and self-confident by making them look beautiful. Dressmaking is just as important as any other occupation, especially if you have a talent for it and will find the place where you will be at your best.

Choosing the profession is a difficult choice but an important one, and nobody else can make it for you.

6) Is it really a matter of calling when you decide on your future career?

7) What experience (опыт) did you have when you made up your mind to become a dressmaker, a technologist or a designer?

8) What can you say about your parents and elder brother or sister? Have they chosen their occupations/professions according to their calling?

9) Do you think you have come to the right decision? Don’t you regret your choice?

10) Has your life greatly changed since you left school? What do you do every day?
