When you leave school you understand that the time to choose your future profession, your future life has become. It's not an easy to make the right choice of a job. I have known for long time that leaving school is the beginning of my independent life, the beginning of a far more serious examination of my abilities and character.

What do I want to be when I leave school? It's very important question for me. A few years ago it was difficult for me to give a definite answer. As the years passed I changed my mind a lot of times about what science or field of industry to specialize in. It's difficult to make up my mind and choose one of the hundreds jobs to which I might be better suited. A coupe of years ago I wanted to become a doctor, you know I wanted to help people who had problems with health. Then I wanted to become a policeman, then a spaceman, I even wanted to become a professional football player. But all of them now are in the past; they were like children's dreams and nothing more. Now I have already decided what to do. I'd like to be an aviator. I know that it's very difficult. I should know perfectly everything about the planes, airports, weather and other things. You know that the weather is very important thing for the flights too. I must be well educated and well informed. So that's why at first I am going to go to the Aviation University in Moscow, then when I finish studding I'll go to my country to try to get a job in the air companies. You know may be something will be not OK, because I don't know what will happen tomorrow, but I know that I'll do everything to realize my plane and my dreams.

I also want to say that the profession should be chosen according to the character and hobbies of the person. That's why parents mustn't make their children choose the thing they like (parents like). Children must do it themselves. Because they must love the thing they do, believe that people need them and their job will bring them more pleasure.

Progress is too fast today, and there are a lot of benefits and environmental problems because of it. Humanity  risks to destroy the  planet developing new useful industries.
Consumer  activity of human affects destructively on the environment. Exhaust gases pollute the atmosphere and destroy the ozone layer, new construction destroys the nature, and a huge number of machines provokes huge traffic jams.

There is an urgent need to protect the environment. Everybody should realize his responsibility and  develop the habit to clean up the garbage. Social movements must be able  to protect nature and forests from being cut down,  seas  and air  from its pollution and so on. Special technologies that limit emissions of harmful substances into the atmosphere should be developed .

In conclusion, everyone should understand that he is a part of nature,  and destroying the planet he destroys himself.

Прогресс огромными шагами идет вперед, и наряду с пользой, которую приносят самые новые достижения науки, возникает огромное множество проблем с окружающей средой. Развивая новые полезные производства человек рискует уничтожить планету.
Потребительская деятельность человека наносит огромный урон окружающей среде. Выхлопные газы загрязняют атмосферу, разрушают озоновый слой, строительство новых зданий сокращает площадь лесов, а огромное количество машин провоцирует огромные пробки.
Остро стоит вопрос о защите окружающей среды. Каждый человек должен осознавать свою ответственность и вырабатывать в себе привычку убирать мусор. В рамках общеcтвенных движений должны создаваться специальные организации, охраняющие природу: леса от вырубки, моря - от загрязнения и так далее. Должны разрабатываться специальные технологии, ограничивающие выбросы вредных веществ в атмосферу.
В заключение, каждый человек должен понимать, что живет не раздельно с природой, но как часть ее, и уничтожая природу, он уничтожает прежде всего самого себя.
