* As far as I can judge, many people follow their parents’ advice. Parents think they advise the best. Others try to find a job themselves. They search what they like or what can provide stable income for future. Mostly, I think, people think about good pay first of all, when they search for a job. Many prefer money to talent, because talent doesn’t pay the bills.

      * You know usually people begin to make plans about their future and job at school or a college. They make a decision based on their young estimations first. Many change their mind later, though. They even go to university the second time because they understand they need something completely different. Many people change their jobs more than twice. So it means they make plans for there future during all their lives.

      * Honestly speaking, I’m sure that only practice makes perfect. So it’s better to find a way of using your knowledge in work. It can save time for gaining experience and necessary skills. Also, practice during study can help you make sure if this job suits you.

      * It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to notice how fast computer technology develops. I mean IT runs the world. So we have no time to wait for or parents our any divine revelation. We are forced to make plans for future career at high school, for sure. It is both good and bad. The benefit is time we have to make mistakes and change our mind. The drawback is stress and nervous tension. It’s easy to break down and become depressed. Times are getting tough.

      That’s all I wanted to tell you about choosing a career.

      CHOOSING A JOB

      You are going to give a talk about choosing a job. You will have to start in 1,5 minutes and speak for not more than 2 minutes (10—12 sentences).

      Remember to say:

      ● what jobs are popular with modern teenagers;

      ● what job you dreamed of in your childhood and why;

      ● who can help you to make your career choice;

      ● what you attitude to choosing a job is.

      You have to talk continuously.

      Now I’m going to give a talk about choosing a job. It’s not an easy question, indeed.

      * In my opinion, the most popular jobs among teenagers nowadays are a blogger, a fashion model or celebrity, a DJ, a travel agent, and sometimes a manager in a big company. Teens are not aware of how it works in fashion and media business. So they secretly hope to become lucky one day. That’s not always true, though. That kind of thing.

      * To tell the truth, in my childhood I dreamt of being a race driver. The high speed, screeching brakes, and drifting on the track attracted me. It seemed cool. I didn’t think about earning and spending money. I wanted to show off, clearly.

      * It goes without saying that my parents are the first people, who can help me choose a career. They have experience. They are clever. I can disagree, of course. They can ask me some questions, though, which make me think twice. Two heads are better than one.

      * I have to admit I have mixed feelings about my career choice. I haven’t made my minds up yet. On the one hand I want to be independent. On the other hand, I can’t get by without help and advice of other people. Now I wish I would be a musician. The further I go, though, the more I realise it won’t pay off. That’s the way it goes.

      That’s all I wanted to tell you about choosing a job.

      EATING HABITS

      You are going to give a talk about eating habits and fast food. You will have to start in 1.5 minutes and speak for not more than 2 minutes (10—12 sentences).

      Remember to say:

      • why people like fast food;

      • what people should eat to stay healthy;

      • what kind of food you prefer, and why;

      • what your attitude to fast food is.

      You have to talk continuously.

      Now I’m going to give a talk about eating habits and fast food. What and how we eat has become a very serious issue recently.

      * Undoubtedly, people like fast food because it’s quick to have and tasty. When you are hungry, you can buy it and feel on the cloud nine. Takeaway is also convenient. Many people say they like to have a snack on the go. Also, they lighten up after fast food.

      * I think, people should eat vegetables, meat, less junk food if they want to stay healthy and keep fit. Everyone knows that. I think, sometimes, though, you can eat a bun or a burger, but not so often.

      * Honestly speaking, I like all kinds of food except for fish, because I don’t like its smell and taste. It’s awful. At home, I prefer eating homemade food, for example, mother’s soups and fried potato with meat. When I go to school, I usually take some fruit. When I hang out with my friends, we often go in a cafe and I take a salad or a burger. It doesn’t mean that I don’t like fast food, though.

      * Frankly speaking, my attitude to fast food is good, because I enjoy it. Somehow it lifts me up and raises my spirits. Maybe, I will change my opinion in future, if I have problems with my health.

      In conclusion, I want to add that everyone should make his own decision about fast food and be careful because it’s not so healthy indeed.

      That’s all I want to tell you about eating habits and fast food.

      ***

      Now I am going to tell you about eating habits and fast food. It’s a vital topic, I’m sure.

      *
