How I went shopping
Today I must do some shopping. My mother wrote a special shopping list for me not to forget something that we will need. There are a lot of shops not far from our house, so shopping doesn’t usually take much time. I prefer to go to a big shop where there are many counters for different products. First I buy some groceries, which we need at home: sugar, salt, cheese, pasta and so on. Then I go to the dairy counter to buy some butter and a bottle of milk.
I don’t smoke myself, but my father does, so I buy a few packets of cigarettes for him. Then I drop in at the bakery for a loaf of brown bread and some buns. I buy some pork at the butcher’s, and bananas, apples, cucumbers and oranges – at the greengrocer’s.
Tomorrow is my brother’s birthday, so I buy a bottle of champaign and a box of chocolates. Then I go to one of the biggest department stores in our town to choose a present for him. The store has several departments where one can buy ready-made clothes, footwear, jewellery, electric appliances and so on. At first I wanted to buy him a pair of leather gloves, but then I changed up my mind and decided to buy a CD with a new computer game and an interesting book. I’m sure my brother will like my presents.

My future profession
There are a lot of interesting and noble professions. And it’s not easy to decide what profession to choose. There are so many people who influence you in choosing your occupation. Parents and friends play a very important role in your choice. But still it’s rather difficult to choose a profession out of more than 2000 existing in the world.
I would say it’s because a lot may change in our life in a moment. There are lucky people who chose their profession in childhood and since then have been doing everything possible to acquire proficiency. But they are few. If we are not indifferent to our future, while thinking about the future career we are to pay attention to a number of important things. We should determine our abilities and inclinations. Then we should analyse job perspectives. We must know whether the profession we have chosen will guarantee good living conditions and give promotion. We must be sure we’ll avoid unemployment or at least will be able to apply our knowledge and skills in other field of human activity. In short, we are to decide what we are going to do in our life and feel satisfied, but not bored or disappointed.
As for me I made my choice long ago. While choosing a job one should take into consideration: wages and salaries, job satisfaction, opportunities for travel and to see much, etc. For me, the most important criterion is job satisfaction and that’s why I’ve chosen the profession of an economist. It’s very responsible occupation. Our country is going through a difficult period now. Economic restructuring doesn’t lead everyone to success. A lot of people are unemployed. There are winners and losers. An economist (an accountant, a banker, a manager) deals mainly with people. He studies what is necessary to do that people worked better and were not offended. I understand the difficulties of this profession. But I believe this speciality is really needed and I hope that I can help a lot of people.
Isn’t that enough to be satisfied with your job?
