style="font-size:15px;"> I.: Would you prefer to do something that brings you money or pleasure? Why?
S.: I believe that only the job which makes you happy is the right career choice. When your job makes you get up early in the morning and come back late at night, you are a person who has made the right choice. From project to project you are wholly absorbed into creative atmosphere. In the end you can see the result of your intensive work and you are satisfied with it. Surely, money is also a very important factor but not the main one. A clever person can achieve a career he tends to and the money he wants.
CHORES
1.
Interviewer: What household chores are you responsible for?
Student: Well, I’m responsible for loading and unloading the dishwasher. Besides, I have to dust the surfaces. Moreover, my duty is to water plants. Sometimes my Mum asks me to go shopping and buy some food. I also go for a walk with my dog but I don’t think it’s household chores. I like my dog and walk with it with great pleasure.
2.
I: What housework did you have to do when you were a child?
S: So, when I was a kid, I had to vacuum clean the floors. Our flat is rather big and it took me half an hour or more to do it. To be honest, I used to hate it because it’s so boring and monotonous. I also had to make my bed.
3.
I: Do you think it is important for children to do jobs around the house? Why /why not?
S: I suppose it is very important to do jobs around the house. First, this skill will make children more independent. Also, the ability to cook, to wash clothes and tidy rooms will help them in future. Parents try to learn their children to be disciplined and keep everything in order. When there is mess around you, it’s impossible to find things you need and it takes you much time to do it. For instance, I didn’t like to clean my room and have always had great mess around me. I couldn’t find my textbook. That’s why I didn’t do my homework and had unsatisfactory marks. My father had a serious talk with me and we began to clean my room together. I thought that at the age of ten it is shame to do it and told my father that I would clean my room myself. Since that time, I have been doing my chores unconditionally.
4.
I: Do you think people in your country will do more or less housework in the future? Why?
S: I believe people will do less homework in the future. More and more modern appliances, which can make our life easier, appear. I hope robots will do all household chores instead of men. Artificial intellect is being spread in all spheres of our life. Soon people will do what they like and robots will do all the work. People will only control artificial intellect and the rest of the time they will travel a lot, paint, draw, sing songs, knit and do many other thins they have dreamt of doing before.
5.
I: Should parents pay their children for doing housework chores? Why? /Why not
S: I think, parents shouldn’t pay their children for doing housework. Children are members of the family and all members of the family should contribute to your sweet home. Children should do everything to keep their place in order. Every person in the family should have her/his duties and be able to organize her/his time and space. It’s out of the question to pay for housework chores. People live together and take of their home together.
ENVIRONMENT AND I
1.
Interviewer: Do you like being outside? Where do you like going?
Student: To tell the truth, I am fond of being outside. Blue sky and green woods make me happy and merry. I am fond of being outside in any weather, when it’s raining or stormy, when it’s hot or cold. I suppose, there is no bad weather, there are bad clothes. I like going to picturesque places in Russia. I often visit mountains, valleys, seaside. A very special adventure is discovering caves. In summer it’s nice to gather berries and mushrooms, to swim in rivers, lakes, seas and oceans. In winter I ski, skate and even fish.
2.
I.: Are you concerned about environmental pollution? What type of pollution could be dealt with first?
S.: As for me, I am concerned about environmental pollution because our life becomes harder and harder in the places with a lot of plants and factories which pollute atmosphere. People suffer from many diseases, and even new hardly-cured diseases occur. There are main types of pollution: air pollution, water pollution and soil pollution. I assume that air pollution is the most dangerous type of pollution cause we breathe in polluted air which can be the reason of many diseases.
