Эталон ответа:

I’m a student of St Petersburg’s college “The Imperial Alexandrovsky Lyceum”. There are many specialties at our college: Economic Departments of Accounting, Finance, Management, the Real Estate and Property Relations, Commerce and IT specialties. I study at the Real Estate and Property Relations specialty. I’m a sophomore student. Our students are trained to be specialists for different branches of our economy. The students also develop expertise in a particular technique or learn some practical skills.

People have always complained about lack of time. There’s a saying that time is money, but time is more valuable than money. If occasionally we spend too much money, we know that we can earn it again, it’s a renewable thing. Time, however, can never be restored. That’s why it’s more precious. There are special courses that help us deal with time properly. They teach how to set the priorities and how to allocate time for the items in your to-do list. For example, they advise you to write a list of everything you want to do during the week. Then you need to rewrite it, and to rearrange the items starting with the first priority. Allocate time from the top of the list to ensure that the most important things are done on time.

By using these tips, you can be organised and have plenty of time to lead a stress-free, well-rounded life.

I would like to say about what qualities and habits are necessary to be a successful entrepreneur. In my opinion, a successful entrepreneur should have much energy and enthusiasm. He or she should suggest a lot of new ideas for the business and be good at organising and delegating work; involve people, so their ideas are included too. They should find solutions to difficult problems, work under pressure and be good at listening to people. I’d say that my strengths are that I’m very motivated and work very hard. I’m good with people. My weakness is probably that I’m a bit disorganized and tend to work quickly being inaccurate sometime.

In my future job I hope I will be given a substantial pay rise and be promoted. I expect to be in charge of the whole department with several other employees, working hard and always changing things, so our work will never get boring.
