If you could change your specialty

(Gerunds and Infinitives; part-time, contract, experience, working hours, retire, full-time, qualifications, temporary, permanent…)

If I could change speciality, I would not change but I would like receive second specialty journalist. I want to work full time as accounted and part time as journalist. In order to do that I need to sign contract TV canal, radio, or newspaper to work in the evening or weekend. I want to became professional journalist, there for I am planning to get experience during summer vocation for a local canal with max working hours.

It will be temporary. In the future I want to get a permanent job both accounted and journalist. When I retire, I continue to write articles as a journalist.

7. The secret to a long and happy life is … being lazy!

(according to, very advanced age, single-handedly, centenarians, use up, beneficial… )

A German researcher and ex-marathon runner Peter Axt considers that laziness good for us and with his daughter he has written a book a called “The joy of Laziness”. It says that there are 3 keys to long life: to play less sport, to reduce stress and to eat less food. In this book gives the examples of an Italian village with an unusually high number of centenarians. They seems to owe its communal good health to following the Axt principles. No one runs and the main activity seems to be sitting shade.

His ideas are based on research which argues that animals have only a limited amount of energy. Those who use up energy quickly live for a shorter time than those who conserve energy. “And who wants to compensate for stressful day by going to the gym is multiplying his problems” he says.

So he believes only light exercise is beneficial for long time.

 

8. Making a complaint – is it worth it?

(Reported Speech; guarantee, staff, branch, goods, in stock, services, compensation…)

The old saying “if you don’t ask you don’t get” is true for many situations, but particularly so when if comes to compensation.

Many customers experiences shows that it is worth complaining to the people of company.

I can give the example. My elder brother wanted to buy recordable DVD player and he went to local branch of Sulpak, which sells electrical goods. They told him that they didn’t have the one he wanted in stock, but they were expecting a delivery “soon”. However, when he went back, it still hadn’t arrived and he returned twice more there but each time they told him to come back in a week. Then he started phoning to know the is DVD appear in the shop but it was unsuccessful.

He lost patience and wrote to the managing director of the shop.

And after 4 days someone called him to say the DVD was waiting for him and he could collect 10 recordable DVD disk to compensate for his wasted time.

9. What is your favorite place to do shopping? Why?

(street market, mall, sales, bargain, shop window, receipt, discount, refund, till, manager…)

 

I like doing shopping. Usually, I do several types of shopping: grocery, clothing and office supplies. I do grocery shopping every week in street market. I try to bargain with salesmen to get better price. I buy office supplies every month for university. But, most of all I like to do clothing shopping. I usually go to more and look for sales. Because I like to buy good clothes for discount price. I always keep receipt in case I want to return clothing and get refund. In KZ refund term is till 14 days. In Astana there a lot of shop malls: Mega, Khan Shatyr , Eurazia, Asia park, Keruen. Most of the students like me enjoy to go to Khan Shatyr. Because, there are a lot of stores, sales and other fun places. In Khan Shatyr there are different famous brands. That is why we always look at shop windows and if we like clothing we ask manager to help us with sizes.



 

10. The film I recommend people to watch
my favorite film I had ever seen is the boy in the striped pyjamas. this is a 2008 British-Irish historical-drama buddy film based on the novel of the same name by Irish writer John Boyne.[3] Directed by Mark Herman and produced by David Heyman, it stars Asa Butterfield, Jack Scanlon, David Thewlis, Vera Farmiga, Amber Beattie and Rupert Friend.

This film is a Holocaust drama, and it explores the horror of a World War II Nazi extermination camp through the eyes of two 8-year-old boys; one the son of the camp's Nazi commandant, the other a Jewish inmate.The film opens in Berlin in Nazi Germany during the Holocaust where a little boy named Bruno (Asa Butterfield) is seen playing with his three friends. After arriving home he learns that his father Ralf (David Thewlis) has been promoted to SS-Obersturmbannführer Commandant. After a party to celebrate the promotion, Bruno, his father, Bruno's mother Elsa (Vera Farmiga) and older sister Gretel (Amber Beattie) relocate to Poland.Bruno one day disobeys his parents and sneaks off beyond the back garden. He eventually arrives at a barbed wire fence surrounding a camp, and befriends a boy his own age named Shmuel (Jack Scalon) who lives on the inside and who asks for food. In the ensueing conversation, the pair's lack of knowledge as to the true nature of the camp is revealed, with Bruno thinking that the striped uniforms that Shmuel, Pavel and the other prisoners all wear are "pajamas". Bruno starts meeting Shmuel regularly, sneaking him food and playing board games with him. Bruno eventually learns Shmuel is a Jew and that he was brought to the camp along with his father
