Why do people work?
Working has an important place in our life. Every person tries to find a source of income to provide for them. Can we live without job? Obviously no. There are a lot of reasons why a human wants to work. Definitely the first reason is money. Money the most motivating way to encourage people to work. For example Henry Ford paid much more money for his employees than others. People felt that they were valuable and useful that contributed to Ford success.
Hence the second reason is people want to be important and useful for world, leave a mark in the world. In more cases if we are responsible for something, when people carry on duties and when we understand career prospects these encourage us work well, we feel that we have a role and others need us. To get recognition from boss or colleagues is important thing for us too.
The third reason for employment is developing. Each of us should not stop. We need to get to know new things, to get new experience, to do challenge. It is knowledge that helps us to move the world forward.
Furthermore human is social animal and he need in communication. For example when you are freelance sometimes you can feel alone and one time you can understand that you need to be in a center of your company, to exchange thoughts and share with experience. These simple things are very important for your success.
Today we have a work-centered culture, sometimes it seems that the world obsessed with job. In my opinion it is not bad because when we work we are satisfied, important. Also we want to live in modern and developing world. Anyway work-rhythm teaches us to discipline and self-organization. Of course money is very important thing, however not only money makes us to work.

Why people with high education can’t find good paid job after university?
Why people with high education can’t find good paid job after university? It is very widespread question among us. Is it necessary to get high education and spend several years of our life? It is a pity when you have good education, but you can’t find a good job and the same time people who don’t have any education or have specialized education have job and earn good money. Why? I will try to answer.
When a person graduate from university he wants to get a high-paid job immediately and very often he doesn’t thinks that he doesn’t have experience. They have a high ambitions and want to be a manager or a boss. A lot of people consider that if you have a high education you will be a big boss. However, it is not true.
People who have a special education are ready to take any job. First time they work as a subordinate at a low level, for example they can be a secretary. They work, get experience and then they get promotion. Anyway I can say such people are not demanding and squeamish. They are ready work.
Definitely, high education is necessary thing, it tells to your future boss that you can work hard, know basic things in this area which help you for your promotion in future, you are ready spend a lot of time for learning new things, you are polite and something else. Such people should rate their strength correctly and will not be disappointed when can’t find dream job, you should continue to look for job and get experience, these rules can help you in future.

Manual labor vs automated
Since ancient times people are working and need to work. First of all people earn money to exchange them on goods. Second reason is social aspect, people need to communicate, self-expression, development, to get to know new thing, to collect experience.
There are a lot of specialties in different areas today and a lot of them demand high qualification, good education. We can know that ours great-grandparents worked in agriculture, they did manual labor. Then it was technical climb, there were a lot of factories where people worked on the lines. Manufacturing took off the new level.
Today we can notice that technical progress is developing very fast. Every day new machines are tested by scientists. Gradually machines replace manual labor. Today we use machines not only at home but in public areas. This is due to scientists study artificial intellect and tries to use it in ordinary life.
Successfully developing plants and factories prefer automated production, because machines do not tire, do not need a break, do not need a salary, can work all time and they can do work with high quality what helps to reduce production waste. Obviously, use machines are more profitable than hire people. Also we can meet machines in banks, in supermarkets, in laundry even in medicine. On one hand it is a good for us, because machines do hard and dirty job. However, what should do people when machines take their place? People lose jobs, if you don’t have education is too hard find a new job. In modern world we should think about our future, what specialty will be popular in five or ten years. If nowadays one specialty is necessary for our world it does not mean that it will be necessary in one year, especially in technical spheres.
However, not all so sad. I am sure that some specialties will not replace by machines. For example, such areas as art, mass-media, some medicine areas and etc. Some specialties are needed in people, where only a person can decides some problems, can helps. Anyway we make intelligent machines, we write code for them. In my opinion, a person was an important for our world and will be.

Globalization
Globalization is a process during which the world becomes a united system.
The main reason of globalization are scientific and technological progress, world trade, the Internet, mass-media.
There are a lot of pros and cons. The first advantage is international competition. Competition stimulates production, the higher is competition the better quality of manufactured products. Introduction of innovation and modern technology help improve performance.
One of the main reason of globalization is the Internet. The Internet erases distance between countries. We can get to know news from different world part. It is possible enter university and study there remotely. You can get in touch with people from different countries.
English language is international language and spreads worldwide. A lot of people can say that English takin over the world and later everybody will speak English. Obviously, English takes a leader position in the world. However, in my opinion English will not kill others. I consider, it is great that people try to learn English, because if you know English a lot of things become available.
However, together with advantages there are disadvantages. Advantages of globalization cannot spread evenly around the world. Some industrial industry gets a great profit and qualified employees, while others lose competitiveness and are getting unnecessary.
Technologies develop, companies want to hire qualified people, in turn unqualified workers lose jobs.
Globalization effects greatly the environment. Conflicts about minerals we will not avoid. We are on the verge because of deforestation, pollution of the ovens and the seas, inefficient use natural resources. All this can be harmful for humanity and environment.

Several words about my studying English
I started to learn English at school. But it was difficult for me. I had a very strict teacher. She knows English very good but she could not explain clear some rules, grammar. English seemed very difficult for studying. I couldn't understand elementary things. Maybe it was depended on that I didn't have a person who could explain me some rules.
I began to study English one year ago. Now I have a perfect teacher. I have been studying English for one year and two month. I feel progress. But I want to practice my English more. I feel that I need more practice.
