Professional career
Although most of us have some plans or dreams concerning their future, it’s not so easy as it might seem to choose a profession which could be also a source of satisfaction. Decisions you need to take may be also quite surprising even for yourself. In my case, I specialised in written translation, because, unlike my best friend, who chose interpreting, I need to work in piece and quiet – I am almost allergic to stressful working environment and the situations involved. For example, I do not really like having little time for my tasks and leaving things to the last moment.
The sentence in bold reflects the pattern we practiced during our last lesson (course book – page 28):
I specialised in written translation – action
because (…) I need to work in piece and quiet – reason
unlike my best friend, who chose interpreting – comparison (By the way, what kind of a clause is that? What difference would it make if I omitted the comma before who?)
I am almost allergic to stressful working environment and the situations involved – paraphrase
For example, I do not really like having little time for my tasks and leaving things to the last moment. – example
Write two similar sentences (actually, it will be four – for example starts a new sentence) about you choice of a (future) professional career. If you are not sure yet, speculate :) Below, add explanations – what you think is reason, example etc.
Please, check also our folder on the gv website for a new feedback.
See you on Tuesday :)
ok. here’s my 5 cents to it
I’d like to specialize in technical analysis, unlike most of my fellow studnts who’ve chosen a managerial careers, because i love to study and try and forsee the behaviour of financial markets, instead of having to deal and menage groups of people. For example i prefer watching charts all day than making sure that my subordinates did their work properly
I’d want to become a rodeo clown, then be a circus clown, cause the former has fun thanks to a huge adrenaline rush and the latter is …a clown – i dont like being in the center of attention :) . For example i’d rather try budgy jumping than attempt to star in “IDOL”.
on the comma thing -> dont have a clue
well..
i want to become a doctor, because i like helping others. Unlike my best friend who want to make a music career. Since i was a little child it was my dream to work as a doctor. For example i have already did a hospital internship.
i am not interested in computers at all, so i could never become a database administrator. Unlike my sister who is really in I.T. Although a have some basic knowledge but that’s all. For example i don’t know anything about sotfware design or advanced network administration, furtheremore i’m not even trying to.
When I was at school I wanted to study Polish language like my favourite teacher, because I really loved reading books and writing essays. I could talk about literature all the time and I was happy when we had some essay to write for homework:). For ex. sometimes I didn’t sleep till late night, just because I found some book so interesting, I wanted to know how It ended.
Now I’d like to specialize in civil-law, unlike my best friend, who prefers crime detection. I find civil-law very useful in everyday life. Most of instituties, we have to use all the time, like selling, purchase, other obligations, marriage, parental authority, ownership and more are regulated by civil code. For ex. if You want to sell a house or any other immovable property, You’re obligated to make a deed executed by a notary
