КЕМ ВЫ ХОТИТЕ БЫТЬ?
2. Опрос учеников об их будущей профессии был сделан в одной из английских начальных школ. Ученики выбрали следующие профессии:
ф Послушайте отчет и поставьте название профессии на правильное ме-сто. Twenty six-year-old children from a British primary school class were asked what they wanted to be. The answers were varied and interesting. Five of the children chose the medical career: there were three dentists, one nurse and one who loves animals decided to be a vet. two children like uniform very much, they wanted to be policemen and one a fireman, because they strong and brave. Two of the children obviously liked school: they wanted to be teachers. One child likes theatre very much and he said he would like to be an actor and one hoped to be a telephonist because he likes to talk on the phone. Of the rest 3 didn't know who they wanted to be, and all the other gave rather unexpected answers.

5. Некоторые профессии больше подходят для мужчин, другие
для женщин.
1)Ты считаешь, что это верно?
I think it is true. There are some jobs which are traditionally more suitable for men, such as a pilot, fireman, miner, soldier. Others are suitable both for women and for men. Now I can't remember a job, which can be done only by women.
2) Что ты думаешь о Энн Восток? У нее женская профессия?
Когда Энн Восток пришла в английскую авиакомпанию Каледония в ка-честве пилота летом 1976 года, она была там первым женщиной-пилотом. Ее отец и брат занимались управлением самолетом как хобби, и она полу-чила лицензию частного пилота после окончания Оксфорда. Пока она за-нималась получением лицензии профессионального летчика, она работала инспектором полетов, а затем как пилот-таксист.
Pilot is a traditionally men's job, I think. But there are also few women who are pilots. There are also women pilots in our country , as I know. But they are military pilots. I have never saw women pilot in civil aviation. Ann Bostock is a good pilot, but I think that this profession is more suitable for men.
