I 5. Some people think that it is necessary to have a good command of a foreign language to get a good job. Do you agree with this?

Variant I

Yes, I do. English is becoming the language of international trade. It is essential for the development of international contacts in the sphere of political, social, business and cultural relations. It enables people to find work almost anywhere in the world. Modern world is a global community. So as to be a member of this community you should know a universal language. It’s English. It’s the language of the Internet, all international conferences, different instructions for modern devices and so on. That’s why, you’ll be a good candidate for any job if you speak a foreign language.

Variant II

If you work with foreign countries I mean selling and buying or even producing something, well, you had better be able to use language quite effectively, but if you are the person whom none can stand in for you may not be able to say a few words. Knowing any language will help you to gain a good knowledge of something without asking for help, but in itself a language is no more than yet another line in your CV if you have other things to boast of.

Variant III

I’m absolutely positive about it. Modern world is a global community. So as to be a member of this community you should know a universal language. Only in this case you’ll be in process and keep pace with the time. English is a universal language. It’s the language of the Internet, all international conferences, different instructions for modern devices and so on. That’s why you’ll be a good candidate for any job if you speak a foreign language.

II 2.Do you want to have a part-time job, when you are a student? Why (not)?

To me, one of the best moments to try initial careers is student time. I think students should take a part-time job. This is the best period in human’s life to absorb knowledge and learn experience for their future job. Taking a job when people are young turns them into skillful employees. Taking a job beside studying is a good choice for the young to solidify their position in the future job. (For example, learning English with people who have the same nationality with you is never enough, and taking a job requiring a good demand of English can make it up, you can practice English with foreigners by working as a part-time tour guide, translator or interpreter. Knowing the application of the knowledge got from books is the most necessary part of studying, and a part-time job can help you in such case.) Finally, when doing a part-time job, students can earn money by their own so that they can grow up. Why can people grow up in this way? Students usually spend their parents’ money, they do not have to work hard so they hardly know its value. When they have to work to earn money for themselves, they will sure find how difficult it is. Furthermore, young people have to deal with many awkward cases that require them to react quickly though sensibly to get the best result. Such environment of work does not allow youngsters to be childish, indeed, they need to grow up in their thought and their action to adapt to the world of adult and business. To sum up, I can say that doing a part-time job does students good. They can get more experience for future job, practice the lesson got from classes and grow up. For the reasons I have mentioned, I am going to seek a job for myself and do it with all my best to grow out of my own ebullient thought and action.
