UNCERTAIN FUTURE

Future mays be a terrible thing because nobody knows what is going to happen tomorrow. And our future job is still more uncertain, since there are countless problems to overcome like money, self-esteem, competitiveness, etc.

But nowadays, right now, my degree means my future due to the fact that I am going to spend all my life learning English and trying to get a good job for myself. Therefore, I really think that it´s very important to reconsider my vocation, since I won´t work as someone which doesn´t appeal to me. I´m totally sure about it, I´m sure that I don´t want to have a job that I don´t love; I want to enjoy my degree and I do want to enjoy my future job.

However, my mind is full of questions and doubts. First of all, as I said before, I like English and I like my degree but I´am not sure about what is my future job. Maybe is too soon, since I have been studying for only four months this professional career.

About my vocation, to be honest, English has not been my real vocation but I has never had a real one. All I know is that I love reading, writing, meeting new different people and talking to them, learning more and more about other cultures...For there reasons, I chose English as my future and I´m glad.

So, I would like to work as a English teacher, I would like to work in an editorial and maybe, If I finished this degree, I would start to study translation. Nothing is impossible.

To finish, there are many weak points that I will have to overcome to achieve my goal. For example, I am not be able to travel to an English country to improve my vocabulary, pronunciation and fluency. Morever, I have never been in an English academy or a bilingual school. But as far as I am concerned, the most important thing is being self-confidence and doing your best.

All in all, future is future and I know that I want to finish my degree being proud of myself and I would like to have my perfect job. For that, I am going to work hard to achieve my goals and I will never give up.

Practice: Smartphones - A great invention?

Nowadays, it is said that smartphones are one of the best inventions in the society because they have many advantages. However, this new type of technology has some important disadvantages that people should take into count.

The first benefit is that people are able to keep in touch with someone in any moment thanks to apps like Skype. For this reason, if you have an emergency, you will be able to call for help. Besides, smartphones are a fantastic source of information due to the fact that people can look for anything they need thanks to Internet on their revolutionary phones. Of course, smarthphones can take amazing pictures and videos. Finally, if you are bored, you can listening to your favourite songs and play some funny games.

One of the negative points is that the new society is totally keen on smartphones and many people recognise that they wouldn´t be able to live without them. Morever, people spend much of their spare time using smartphones, so parents don´t play with their children or friends don´t meet very often. Another disadvantage is that people usually upload all the pictures they have taken or even videos because it´s very easy thanks to their phones. Therefore, they are not really aware of the aspects of their lives which are being viewed by everyone.

In fact, such as a revolutionary invention, smartphones have different pros and cons but it´s completely sure that they have improved our lives but people should start to use smartphones correctly without forgetting that there are other ways to have a great time with some friends.
