It is very important for everybody to make the right choice of profession. And it is no wonder because there are a lot of honourable professions at your disposal to obtain , for example, the profession of a teacher, a doctor, a computer-operator, an engineer, a journalist, an agronomist, a miner , a fitter, etc. It is difficult for young people of seventeen to give a definite answer. I have known for a long time that leaving school is the beginning of my independent life, the beginning of a far more serious examination of my abilities and character.
As the years passed I changed my plans a lot of times about which profession to choose. At the moment I’ve made my mind to be a teacher. I think the job of a teacher is very difficult and one of the noblest professions among others. I admire the traits of character typical for real teachers such as kindness, great responsibility, honesty and tolerance. A teacher is the kindest, the most necessary and charitable profession. Not everybody is suitable for it and can make a good teacher. To become one you need to be able to sacrifice a lot, to have a passionate heart and concern for children entrusted to you. It is one of the most responsible professions because the teacher does not deal with machines or objects, but with children, the most precious and vulnerable "material”. The teacher will inevitably influence them, mould their personalities, build up their prospects, as well as determine their values in life.
The teacher should be a model, a sample to follow because it if common knowledge that children are big parrots, they like to imitate adults, especially those in authority. Children watch them intently , study their character and soul, and copy everything they like: teacher’s clothes, gestures, expressions and so on and so forth. It’s great if there is something worthy to be copied and acquired by others. But it is a great pity if there is nothing of the kind and the children are just being damaged and harmed.
The teacher meets a lot of challenges and hardships in his work, so he must be very wise, patient and mature to face any problem and deal with it in a proper way. It is very difficult to be a good teacher because he must impart all his knowledge, skills and generosity to pupils.

These days millions of people all over the world travel either for business or for pleasure. They travel to see other countries & continents, modern cities & ruins of ancient towns. They travel to enjoy picturesque places, customs & traditions of other peoples or just for a change of scene.
Modern means of transport give us an excellent opportunity for comfortable travelling. You can choose any way of travelling depending on your taste & money. You can travel by train, by bus, by air, or by car.
Each way of travelling has its advantages & disadvantages. As for me there is nothing like travelling by plane. It is the fastest & the most convenient kind of transport. Planes cover long distances for a short period of time. The only disadvantage is the price of the tickets. Besides, some people feel air sick . Travelling by train gives its own advantages. The price of the ticket is much lower. From the seat of a railway carriage you have a splendid view of the countryside . But our trains are not comfortable enough & often carriages are not clean. Many people like to travel by car. You can choose any route you like by car. You can stop wherever & whenever you want. You don’t have to worry about the tickets or to carry your luggage.
To cut a long story short, every person chooses according to his plans & preferences.
Nowadays you can hardly find a person who hasn’t travelled at least once in his life. You can travel by train, by air, by bus or by car. Each way of travelling has its advantages & disadvantages. Of course it depends on the distance you travel. As for me, I prefer travelling either by air or by car. But last year I happened to travel by train. I would like to tell you about my travelling to Odessa. A trip was organized by our teacher. I was glad not to miss the opportunity to visit such a beautiful city at the
Black Sea. We arrived in Odesa early in the morning, left out luggage at the hotel & met our guide .
The weather was nice & warm. The guide told us much about the history of Odesa. It was founded in the 14th century. There are two versions about the name of the city. One says that it originates from the French word meaning ‘water’. Another suggests that the city was named after an ancient Greek colony which existed not far from the present Odessa. During our two-day trip we visited the famous
Opera & Ballet Theatre, Archeological Museum, took photos of the statue of Duc de Richelieu. Of course we went up & down the 142-metre -long Potemkin Stairs & visited Odesa
Catacombs. Unfortunately , we didn’t have enough time to visit all the sightseeings of this wonderful city. It’s a pity we couldn’t swim in the sea, because it was spring & the weather was cool for it. But we decided to come here on our summer holidays.
