   Work with the text; prepare to speak about your future engineering profession.
   

My future profession is an engineer. I study at Polotsk State University to get a higher qualification in the sphere of modern technology. My time-table is very saturated. I should work intensively to get better knowledge of the acade-mic subjects. I don’t know yet where my working place will be. Engineers can work at a design office, in a laboratory and in workshops. The work of an engineer is very responsible. His help is always needed when something is wrong with the equipment. It’s very important to find quickly the reason causing the failure of the unit.

An engineer is often busy with different kinds of repairs. They are the running repair and the emergency repair. The engineer performs the maintenance and installation of the complicated equipment. It’s the duty of the engineer to ensure the work of all the devices and machines.

The work of the engineer is not easy, but interesting and often well-paid. It’s absolutely necessary for every engineer to know the latest achievements of science and engineering all over the world. The best engineers and top managers of the world’s leading enterprises fluently speak foreign languages to take advantage of the international science and technology, to get a faster access to the profitable discoveries and novelties.
