My future profession. Hi, my name is Sasha. I finished my school and entered the Astrakhan College of Building and Economics

Hi, my name is Sasha. I finished my school and entered the Astrakhan College of Building and Economics. Usually, pupils’ plans for the future change many times during the school years. That’s what happened to me.

When I was about 10 years old I wanted to become a doctor, then I changed my mind and since I was enjoying playing computer games I decided to become a computer programmer.

But playing games and making programs is not the same. So I changed my mind again and didn’t know what profession to choose. And then I looked at my parents. They are engineers.

Their profession is always available, they help people the most, and they make their lives more comfortable. When I told my parents about my decision they were very excited because I followed their steps.

I decided to enter the Astrakhan College of Building and Economics and then continue my education in the university. I like the profession I will be given and I will try to make the life of the citizens of my city more comfortable.

V. Speak about how your plans for the future got changed.

VI. Read and translate the text “I want to be an economist”

I want to be an economist

My name is Oksana, I am sixteen. I study in the Astrakhan College of Building and Economics. I want to be an economist.

And I can explain why I think so. Russia for a long time had the command-and-administrative methods of management. (Every official had extensive power which he did not want to lose.) Economics and economic science were not developing.

The reconstructing of the economic system abolished many ministries and other departments. As a result of the reconstructing, the connections between different areas of our country were broken and our industry and agriculture gone down. However, the reconstructing opened up wide opportunities for a business and marketing economics.

Therefore I took the decision to become an economist.
