4. Ecology

In recent years the environmental problems have become extremely urgent and received a great publicity. They are the result of scientific and technological progress of the 20-th century. But people also do a lot of harm to nature because they don't understand that the man is the part of the environment. The relationship between man and nature has become one of the most vital problems facing civilization today.

The ecological problems are: air, water and noise pollution, cutting down forests, animals are used for scientific researches, hunting rare animals, oil spills, contamination, ultraviolet radiation, carbon dioxide increase, holes in an ozone layer, forest fires, sewage, fumes, overfishing, nuclear weapon tests, etc. 

Now we face the following results: extinction of many species, global warming, shortage of water, acid rains, deforestation, droughts, floods, etc.

Cars are one of the most harmful and dangerous polluters of air. In more than a hundred towns and cities the concentration of harmful substances in the air and water is 10 times over the admissible level. Besides, we must remember about ozone holes over our heads. The ozone layer doesn't protect us from dangerous ultraviolet rays any more. They get through the atmosphere causing skin cancer and other diseases. All these facts make us become more sensitive towards the environment.

To help the environment we should create special zones for animals, make the logging companies plant trees, use less plastic and paper, reduce carbon dioxide emission, and use less aerosol spray. There should be a strong public reaction to the problems. It’s necessary to keep our environment clean and explore nature in the right way.

Various public organizations and unofficial movement make their best to change official and public opinion on the environmental problems. I suppose the solution of the problem requires the cooperation of the people's efforts in nature conservation.

Для Кристины - My future profession

My Future Profession

I’m going to tell you about my future profession. There are two most important things in anyone’s life: choosing a career and getting a job. Some pupils know what they are going to do after leaving school but for others it’s difficult to give a definite answer about their future profession. We get to know about a wide range of professions from magazines and advertisements and then we make either our own choice or follow our parents’ advice as they are also concerned about our future.
When choosing a career one should take into consideration all the possibilities that it might provide. First of all, it should be interesting. Secondly, one has to be sure to be able to find a good and well-paid job after graduating. Another important factor that influences the choice of the profession is our abilities to different disciplines. One has to analyze thoroughly which things or subjects he or she is good at, and only then make a final choice.
As for me, since my childhood I’ve known I want to be an interpreter. My choice is closely connected with the importance of foreign languages and cultures which is growing nowadays. Foreign languages are needed for communication with people on our planet. I believe that among all, English is the most universal and widely spread. It’s an official language in a vast number of countries. Besides, it’s the language of international aviation, sports, medicine, the language of science and technology, trade, cultural and business relations.
I’m quite aware that the job of an interpreter isn’t an easy one. You have to be very communicative and responsible. Moreover, be prepared to work long hours and move around a lot. But on the other hand you’ll have a chance to travel to different foreign countries and to meet a lot of interesting people. I think this profession is worth taking up. Being a student of the University I pay special attention to English and try to work hard. I hope I’ve made the right decision.
