My future profession с переводом

1. Teenagers today have a lot more to worry about than their parents ever did. The world is becoming a very scary place. Violence, teen pregnancy, and AIDS cases are increasing. More and more teens are turning to drugs and alcohol. I'm sure that almost every teenager will at one time or another have an experience with drugs, alcohol or sex. These things combined with personal problems and mates' influence make being a teenager very difficult. I don't have a single friend who has never had a drink of alcohol. Some of them don't drink at all now, but some do. It seems to me that adults are generally quite indifferent to what their children do. Once you reach the age of sixteen or seventeen, your parents think you are old enough to decide for yourself and let you do what you want.

2. It's true that there are so many problems facing
teens today. I go to an all-girls private
school which makes my school life easier. I focus more attention on
doing my work than on impressing a cute
guy. But when I go out on weekends there is a lot of pressure to drink
and smoke. There are no teen clubs close to
where I live so weekend activities are limited. My friends and I don't
do anything exciting, but we usually have
fun just being around each other. We usually talk v about
humorous things. On the other hand, we also talk about serious things like
abortion, sex, and politics. My friends and I try to help each other if we can,
because a lot of the time, being a teenager isn't fun. It's a chore (duty). You
have to go to school and your parents want you to get good grades, which are
hard enough in itself, and you have to deal with your own problems too.

forward with pride and confidence in my future profession. I’m sure that I have all the reasons to feel so because nowadays our world is measured, controlled and managed by computers. A great deal of the work force of most countries is engaged in creating, processing, storing, communicating and just working with information. There are laptops, notebooks, personal digital assistants and stationary computers or desk tops everywhere. They are used not only in banks and offices, government and business institutions. Now they are widely used in schools and private houses. In the modern world even children play electronic games on computers or play-stations.

Many corporations, companies and institutions have introduced local computer networks and information systems. They use them in their business, production, service and management. A computer is becoming an indispensable “must have” not only in business but in our everyday life. Moreover, computers and Internet enable us to pick up knowledge and to maintain a remote control at a great distance away.

Many new uses of computers that we cannot imagine at present will become commonplace in our information society.
