Exercise 21: Read the text and be ready to retell it:

My speciality – mechanical engineer

There are different kinds of jobs and it’s very important to choose a profession that suits your interests. In my opinion, a job should be interesting and socially important (demanded). That’s why I have chosen a profession of mechanical engineer. I believe that nowadays this profession is of great need and importance to our country. I consider engineers to have a direct role in the creation of most of modern technology – the tools, material, techniques, and so on.

Mechanical engineers design, operate and test all kinds of machines. They develop and build different engines, a wide variety of machines, machine-tools and industrial-processing equipment.

Mechanical engineers work in many industries, such as power generation, public utilities, transportation and all types of manufacturing. Many mechanical engineers concentrate on research and development because new types of machinery are continually in demand. Mechanical engineers are involved in almost every other branch of engineering whenever a new or improved machine, devices and equipment is required.

To be a well prepared engineer you should have some important qualities: great capability, persistence, knowledge of science and, of course, knowledge of foreign languages. In spite of these arguments we mustn't forget about everybody's vacation. I think that facilities combined with the knowledge would be quiet enough to succeed in this work.
