What questions can you ask a British friend about his/ her artistic preferences?
What arts are you interested in?
What kind of music do you like most? What are your favourite singers, bands?
Are you fond of painting?
Do you like going to the cinema? What movies have you seen lately?
Are you fond of reading books? What authors are your favourite?
What preferences do you have in music?
I’m so enthusiastic about listening to music, which has now become an extremely widespread hobby. You can hardly see any teenager without earphones in his ears on the streets today. The world of music is varied and colorful. There is a great range of musical styles. Personally I mostly prefer metal music. It promotes power and might, sense of purpose, true friendship and heroism. Besides I really enjoy glam metal, which is a reflection of 80th, when people were free and emotional. This music moves me through time and plunges me into the atmosphere of freedom. Moreover I am fancy about some Russian and Belarusian rock bands, as well as classic organ music and ethnic motifs.
Is cinema still important? Why (not)?
To some extent, yes, it is. Films will always stay as one of the entertainments for people. But I should admit that cinemas attract many people while some new blockbusters are running there. Film producers realize that they have to make up something new to attract people. And with nowadays new technologies it is so fascinating to watch films wearing 3D glasses, for example. You get the full picture of the movie and can experience all the special effects personally as if you were a hero of that movie yourself. You can feel the water splashing right into your face, the blowing sand wind making you close your eyes, some frightening monsters that are ready to attack you!
Some people prefer watching movies at the cinema. They believe that cinema has a better atmosphere to enjoy the movie. However, from my point of view, people who watch movies at home are happier and freer than people who choose the cinema. People who watch movies at home feel more comfortable. Contrary to the fact that you have to book the ticket in advance in order to have a better position, there is no need for people at home to worry about the ticket.
Most experts consider that cinema provides the best conditions for watching movies. However, with good equipment at home, we still have a chance to appreciate the movie.
As far as I am concerned, watching movies is relaxing. Cinema may just provide the best conditions to watch movie not the best way to enjoy the movie. To my mind, watching movie at home is better. But anyway there should be cinemas, it’s a good chance to hang out with your mates.

CARD № 8
Let’s talk about your future career.
Let’s talk about your future career. What kind of job would you like to have in future?
I must say that when you leave school you understand that the time to choose your future profession has come. It’s not an easy task to make theright choice of a job. People choose profession according to their own interests and abilities. And the most important thing is to understand what exactly you want to do and enter the university according to the sphere of your choice: whether it is medicine, economy, machinery or humanities.
When choosing a future career, we should consider different factors. In my opinion, money is one of the most important factors when you make a choice. There are highly paid jobs and low-paid jobs. I think everybody wants to earn as much money as possible. Training, promotional prospects and conditions should be also taken into account.
On the other hand, it’s good when you get satisfaction from your job. It is very important to choose a profession that suits your interests. In my opinion, a job should be interesting and socially important. Some jobs are considered to be more suitable for men and others for women. For example, the professions of a secretary or a nurse are more suitable for women. A lifeguard or a pilot are more likely the jobs for men. You should also decide whether you want to work indoors or outdoors.
To make the right choice, you should take into account your traits of character. It goes without saying that to become a good doctor you must be patient, caring and kind. Teacher’s work requires love for children, profound knowledge of subjects, and the ability to explain. A secretary has to be efficient and careful in order to do the work quickly and accurately. Salespeople need to be friendly and persuasive, to get people buy their products.
I have always been interested in economics and I am good at mathematics. I have an aptitude for working with people, and I think I’m rather communicative and have good social skills. I have good analytical abilities and I am good at problem-solving. Besides, I am good at English.
So after finishing school I want to enter the university and to study marketing or management.
