job or career

:: Describe the job or career you have, or hope to have.

You should say:

- what the job is

- what it involves

- why you chose it

and explain why it is rewarding

- A career that I am fond of is in the position of a researcher. At the moment, I work as a clerk in an office/I do freelance work/ I am a civil servant, but I am trying to get a research position. It is a collaborative job in which you need to keep yourself updated, otherwise you will be a loser!

- I am especially interested in conducting studies which seek to find solutions to social problems or at least provide an explanation for them, such as crime, vandalism, population explosion, etc. If you manage to solve a problem, it is a great accomplishment you have made. I think in this sense it is a pronounced/marked career.

a famous person

:: Describe a famous person that had/has a great influence on the people of your country.

You should say:
- who that person was
- what that person did
- how you feel about that person
and consider whether or not that person will be an in influence in the future.

I think the most influential individual in the pre-Islamic era in Iran was Cyrus the Great.
The first king in the world who declared all human beings must have freedom of speech and thought. He enforced the law of human rights and sent his charter to many contemporary nations. His name is even found in the Old Testament. It is not surprising that he is mentioned in the Bible in the Book of Kings. Although he was the sovereign of the largest kingdom in the world, he never tried to enslave/subjugate people.
His viewpoints towards life are still respected and practical. When I think he is from the same country I came from, I really feel proud of who I am. The moral codes and ethics he believed in, I think, will last forever.

amount of rubbish

:: It is generally agreed that the amount of rubbish created by humans today is a worldwide problem. What do you think are the main causes of this situation? What can be done to settle the matter?

Expanding the amount of rubbish made by men, is the major trouble of our healthy life these days. Different aspects lead to this increase, figuring out of causes and prevent making more rubbish can provide very clean earth for the next generations.

It is nothing to say that people are forced to use disposable products by corporations in our daily life. Although utilities of incompatible goods with the environment including food’s plastic packages and drink’s bottles etc. make our everyday life simpler and easier, but huge amount of rubbish are bred unintended just by these healthy and cheap products apparently.

Poor made products in addition, have a direct effect in surge of wasted goods. Low quality of some goods and fragile, being rotten, and other demerits make users to throw away theirs after two or three time’s usages. Careful chooses and how to proper maintenance are two keys issue in order to decrease of trashes in the world.

The main conclusion to be drawn is that choosing our goods carefully and the way of using products are vital issues in today’s world, in case earth would be cleaner and healthier not only for our next generations but also for us.
