IF
YOUR CLASSMATES BELIEVE IN YOU THERE SHOULD BE A SUCCESS
"Are you
proud of your classmates?" asked Mrs. Fair.
We began laughing.
"Stop laughing and think a little. In my opinion each of
you is good at something," said Mrs. Fair.
"I'm
good at nothing," sighed Ann, "I have problems with lots of subjects.
I'm not good at sport. I'm not good at dancing or singing...", Ann sighed
again.
"Ann,
you are wrong. I've seen your photos. They are very special. Not every person
can take such wonderful photos. I think you are a talented photographer. I
really think so," said Lucy.
"And
John can make you smile or laugh. I believe he will be a successful comic
actor, like Robin Williams or even better," said George.
"And
Jonathan will write scenarios for John. He writes funny stories," said
Henry.
And
it turned out that we all are talented, creative and
gifted children.
"You
should each be a success. I believe in you", said Mrs. Fair.

II. In
the newspaper English there is a special column which publishes student's
opinions and letters. Read Julia's opinion about being a Jack-of-all-trades. IS
IT GOOD OR BAD TO BE A JACK-OF-ALL-TRADES? Perhaps
the best way to prepare for any
job is to get good education at school. I think all subjects we learn at school
are useful and necessary. We can't be very sure what will happen in the future,
because life in the world brings great changes every day. It's necessary to be
a Jack-of-all-trades and to take an active part in different competitions,
Olympiads, seminars - not only in one subject. Even if you are particularly
good at languages, it is also necessary to test yourself in math, physics or
chemistry. As you know, one of the most popular sayings is: "Knowledge is
power". If you can do one thing excellently and many things well, you will
have a chance to get a promising and well-paid job.

the incorrect answer.
