Choosing an Occupation

One of the most difficult problems a young person faces is deciding what to do about a career. There are individuals, of course, who from the time they are six years old "know" that they want to be doctors or pilots or fire fighters, but the majority of us do not get around to making a decision about an occupation or career until somebody or something forces us to face the problem.

Choosing an occupation takes time, and there are a lot of things you have to think about as you try to decide what you would like to do. You may find that you will have to take special education in Czechia to qualify for a particular kind of work, or may find out that you will need to get some actual work experience to gain enough knowledge to qualify for a particular job.

Fortunately, there are a lot of people you can turn to for advice and help in making your decision. At most schools, there are teachers who are professionally qualified to counsel you and to give detailed information about job qualifications. And you can talk over your ideas with family members and friends who are always ready to listen and to offer suggestions. But even if you get other people involved in helping you make a decision, self evaluation is an important part of the decision-making process.

Vocabulary

to make a decision -to acceptdecision

toforce - compel, compel, compel

qualify [" kwolifai] for - prepare for activities; acquire qualifications; get the right (to something)

tocounsel [" kaunsl] - to give advice; advise, recommend

self evaluation -self-esteem

Questions

1. What is the most difficult problem for a young person?

2. Why don "t the majority of young people know what they want to be?

3. When do they make a decision about an occupation?

4. What things do you have to think about when choosing an occupation?

5. What should one do to qualify for a particular job?

6. Whom can you turn to for advice when making your decision?

7. What is the most important part of the decision-making process?

I Want to be a Doctor

There are many interesting and noble professions. I want to be a doctor. It is an interesting profession. I understand that it is necessary to study a lot to become a doctor.

He listens very attentively to what his patients tell him. He is always kind and attentive to his patients. They feel it and believe him, and it makes his work easier. I know that he wants to see all his patients able - bodied and I notice that he is happy when his patient is recovered. My grandfather can also help if somebody catches a cold or has a fever. My grandfather told me a lot of true stories about doctors and their profession. I love and respect my grandfather and want to become a doctor as well.

Vocabulary :

noble -noble

necessary -necessary

to require -require

responsibility - responsibility

precious - valuable

surgeon - surgeon

to be recovered - to recover

able-bodied - healthy

Questions :

1. Is it necessary to study to become a doctor?

2. Is profession of a doctor connected with a great responsibility? Why?

3. Have you seen a doctor working?

4. In your opinion, must a doctor be a kind and attentive person?

"My Profession"

David : Hi, Kate! How are you?

Kate : Hi, David! I "m fine, thank you! And, how are you?

David : Very well, thanks! Just a bit worried about the coming exam.

Kate : Why? Is it so difficult to pass?

David : No, I wouldn "t say it" s very difficult, but it "s definitely important for my future profession.

Kate : I see. Are you worried about Biology?

David : Yes, I really need good marks in this exam, because I want to enter a Medical college.

Kate : I remember that you "ve planned to study in the field of medicine. What" s so interesting in it? In my opinion, it "s a very difficult job to deal with various human illnesses..

David : You "re right. I" ve never thought it "s easy. But I know for sure that working in medical field is interesting and useful. When I imagine that after several years of studying I" ll be capable of treating people around me , I want to study even more eagerly. Other than that, I "m interested in various innovations. It would be great if I could make my own discovery in medicine.

Kate : Sounds great! And, have you chosen the exact field, yet? I mean, do you want to work in dentistry, gastroenterology, traumatology or any other fields?

David : Yes, I know what you mean. I want to be a humble physician, because these people "s work involves lots of knowledge almost in every medical field. They should be aware of many health problems.

Kate : I see. That "s a good choice.

David : Remind me, please, what did you choose to do after the school is over?

Kate : I want to go to a Law school. My parents insist on it.

David : Are you unhappy with their choice?

Kate : Kind of. I "ve always wanted to be an artist. You know, I" m really fond of drawing. But my father says that being an artist is more of a hobby than actual work. He says that I can draw in my free time just for pleasure.

David : He might be right. However, if you don "t want to become a lawyer at all, then better refuse now.

Kate : No, it "s fine. It has lots of advantages too. Lawyers sometimes deal with interesting people and cases. I will probably like the process of investigation or negotiations at court.

David : Sounds interesting! I think, you should pass Social studies to enter the City Law School, is that right?

Kate : Yes, that "s true. I" m also a bit nervous before the exams. However, I think we "ll do just fine.

David : Thanks for cheering me up! I feel much better now.

Kate: No problem! We can talk about it anytime
