However, he doesn't enjoy his work. He finds it boring and monotonous. He gets four weeks' holiday a year, but because there are several public holidays and sometimes strikes in the factory, he doesn't usually work 48 weeks a year.

A. Imagine you meet Paul. Ask him questions about his job.

Примерные вопросы.

Do you work overtime? What are the results of your working overtime? Why don’t you enjoy your work? What are your holidays?

B. Would you like to work in a factory? Why? Why not? Are there a lot of strikes in your country?

Предполагаемые ответы учащихся.

A factory worker performs various jobs in factories. Factory workers may operate machinery to manufacture different products. They may also sort, check and pack products or work on product assembly.

You can find this position in industrial environments. Some examples of areas in which workers might be hired are canning, beverage and candy processing, dairy processing, pharmaceutical and leather industries.

You could be an assembly line worker, a repair technician, an operations manager, a foreman or a quality control specialist, depending on your level of training.

Working conditions of a factory worker vary with the type of operations they perform. You may need to stand for long periods or bend and lift heavy materials. You might also have to move quickly during your workday. Some factory workers monitor machinery and stay seated for most of their shifts. The work environment can be noisy, although it can also be quiet and sterile if the factory produces food or medical products.

The right to strike is recognized in the Constitution and the Labor Code of the Russian Federation as a means to resolve collective labor disputes.  However, in Russia labor protests come up for discussion much more frequently than strikes. In recent years the number of labor protests in Russia, including various forms of work stoppage, has increased significantly compared to previous years, but the number of legally constituted collective labor disputes and strikes has remained very low. The legislation on resolution of collective labor disputes and mounting strikes is quite restrictive in Russia, and its enforcement also encourages employees to seek alternative ways to settle collective labor conflicts. resolution of collective labor disputes and strikes.

Примерные вопросы.

What do you study at the university? Can you find a good job? What does he live on? Is it enough to live on?

B. Does your government give money to the unemployed? Are there many unemployed graduates in your country?

Предполагаемые ответы учащихся.

The official number of registered unemployed workers in Russia has surpassed 1.9 million people. Most of them are living in Moscow, the Moscow region, and Krasnodar Krai. The employment situation is also deteriorating in the Tuva republic, as well as in Chechnya and Ingushetia the share of registered unemployed people in these regions has reached 9–11 percent of the working population. In April, the actual number of unemployed workers in Russia was an estimated 4.3 million, according to the methodology of the UN’s International Labor Organization (ILO).

The Russian government’s plan to support these millions unemployed workers is as follows:

Increasing the minimum monthly unemployment benefit from 1,500 rubles to 4,500 rubles (upping it from approximately $21 to $64) beginning on May 1, and continuing these payments until August 1, 2020.

Establishing a maximum unemployment benefit of 12,130 rubles (approximately $172) for individual entrepreneurs, who stopped working after March 1. These payments will begin within a three month period. 

More than 35 billion rubles (approximately $495 million) will be allocated to fund these support measures, reported Russia’s Finance Minister Anton Siluanov. This costs about as much as tripling the minimum monthly unemployment benefit, which would raise it to 4,500 rubles (about $64). This also includes 17 billion rubles (more than $241 million) set aside for payments to individual entrepreneurs who have stopped working.

What are you? How much do you earn? At what age are you going to retire? What kind of pension are you supposed to receive? What are you going to do on pension?

B. What is the usual retirement age in your country? Can you talk about pension schemes in your country?

Предполагаемые ответы учащихся.

Men retire at 60 and women retire at 55. Plenty of other Russians don’t retire until later in life. The “standard” pension ages are going up five years for men and eight years for women. When the reforms are finally adopted and implemented, men will be able to start collecting “retirement-age pensions” at 65 and women at 63. Russians who can’t rack up the necessary work experience or retirement points will have to wait until 70 (men) or 68 (women).

Pension ages will start going up next year, rising gradually until 2028 (for men) and 2034 (for women).

It is noted that the average size of old-age insurance pensions for non-working people will amount to 16.4 thousand rubles.

5. Henry: I'm a pop star. I earn about £60,000 a year. Being a pop star means all sorts of things. It means I don't have to worry about money any more. It means I can do what I want to do.

Примерные вопросы.

What are you? What is your standard of living? Why do you enjoy your job?

B. Would you like to be a pop star? Do you think it is an interesting job?

Предполагаемые ответы учащихся.

First, it is a very interesting profession. After graduating from the school of public speaking and becoming an artist, you will be able to constantly rotate in the circles of creative people, each of whom is unique and inimitable personality. Secondly, becoming an actor, you will win fame and national love. You will be recognized on the street. You will have your own fans and maybe even a fan club.

Second, working as an actor, you will be able to see new countries. You can also try yourself in different professions and in the role of people with different characters, conducting business negotiations will no longer be a problem for you.Third, the actor’s profession is one of the most socially significant. From the stage of the theater you will be able to convey to the mind and soul of the audience their views on life, philosophical position. The profession of an actor plays a special role in the formation of the future generation, its education and development.

In addition to all these advantages of the actor’s profession, it has its disadvantages.

First, the acting profession is often associated with the risk of physical injury. Actors on stage and in the cinema perform the most incredible tricks. Sometimes the stunt guys do it, but only if the stunt is associated with the risk of their lives.

Secondly, the actor is not only a profession, but also a lifestyle. Artists are fully committed to art and creativity. Actors are often compared to monks. People in this profession often do not have free time that they could devote to their personal life, their family. That’s why we often hear from the media about failed marriages of artists. Some people don’t get married at all.

Third, becoming an actor, you should immediately tune in to the fact that on your creative path you will have to wait not only for fame and success, but also black stripes associated with a lull in career and popularity. To avoid this, you have to constantly work hard on yourself, on your talent. You have to constantly learn something, learn something new. For example, to attend a training for the development of creativity. It is recommended to engage in acting from an early age, for example, to visit a theater Studio for children. The only way you can constantly be on the fashion wave among the most popular actors of our country.

Are you ambitious?

Answer 1 - You can say that I am very ambitious in the way that I don’t like to get a feeling of stagnancy. I want that I should always be getting new experiences and learning new things.

Answer 2 - Yes. I am extremely ambitious. I feel one has no goal in life if there is no ambition. Ambition helps to succeed.

What is ambition?

Ambition is when you have the desire and determination to achieve great things. Ambitious people use hard work and focus to find success in their work and personal lives. They have an inner drive that helps them stay motivated when working toward their goals.

Why is ambition important?

Ambition is an important part of achieving what you want in life. Many worthwhile goals take hard work and determination to achieve, so ambition can help you stay motivated as you work toward them.

Surround yourself with ambitious people When you surround yourself with ambitious people, you may feel more inspired to be motivated yourself. 3. Continuously set goals As soon as you reach one of your goals, replace it with a new one. This way, you are constantly working toward bettering yourself. 4. Take exciting risks Being ambitious is all about taking risks. Give yourself a chance to explore new opportunities. Even if you make a few mistakes along the way, this can serve as an important part of the learning process. When you start taking action, you can begin to see real changes in your life. 5. Embrace your imagination Imagination is also an effective tool when creating your goals. You can always start off with big goals and then scale them back to be more realistic. Little by little you could even work toward especially ambitious goals. Make time for your goals Instead of thinking "I'll do it later," find a time to get started on your goals. Waiting for the perfect moment to start may hinder your progress, so it's better to begin now. When planning your goals, figure out when you're going to make time for them. For example, if you want to run a marathon, you may need to wake up earlier to train. Work on positive thinking Finding ways to shift to a positive mindset can help you stay focused on your inner drive. Using positive self-affirmations is a great way to boost your mood and confidence.

I appreciate when an employer can trust their employees to stay on task without having to oversee everything so closely, but I also think it is important that an employer regularly checks in with their team.

I've found that employers who give regular performance reviews can achieve this kind of balance. By periodically assessing my performance, I get a better idea of what I do well and what I could improve. I think employees can grow a lot when their employer helps them set meaningful goals and reminds employees about the company's expectations."

Example 2: "My ideal boss is knowledgeable, patient and reliable. I want to work for someone who knows the company's products and services really well. I also think it is important for an employer to be patient because every employee has their own learning curve.
