IELTS, Writing 1 Nowadays, many young people are only staying on at school or going on to further education to put off being unemployed. To what extend do you agree with this opinion? This is certainly true that many students continue their education just for not to be unemployed. Job market is extremely competitive nowadays, especially for young specialists. Many companies refuse candidates without real experience in profession, others require at least a good education. Furthermore young people can be just not ready yet for "adult life". We must understand that most of employers prefer to take on an experienced workers, so it is already difficult task - to find a good place for working just after school. Special or even higher education could be huge benefit for unexperienced worker in competition of applicants. Moreover many universities has an internship programs in big companies which students can join during their last year of education. It's really good opportunity to get working experience and higher education in the same time. Not only do young people get an education in university, they also get many other things, such as communication skill, learning skill, they can make many useful contacts during studying time. In my opinion university is a good "school of living". Also for the most of spheres of working only school education isn't enough even for starting position. In particular nobody can become a doctor, a teacher, an engineer without higher education. For many professions you should learn a lot of science for a long time and it is necessary not because of being unemployed but for possibility of doing your job. On the other hand if the only reason to get further education is avoiding unemployment then it's not a good idea and can be just wasting time as result. Some professions (for example - creativity professions, like an artist or designer) don't require a higher education from person for being successful in it. In that case focusing on practice more than on theory could be better for professional grown. In conclusion, I can say that although many people are going on to further education to put off being unemployed higher education - most of cases it's for the best in them future.

First day of autumn Yesterday was a very rainy day, so we stayed at home. In the evening we were visited by guests - our friends came to us for dinner. After food we played board games and chatting. Today I came home from Roma, did the cleaning and going to the street for walking. Really, I don't know what I can write here about, everything seems so boring =( What about you write in your notebook on italki? Maybe I can take from you any ideas..)

Weekend Last two days I was sick and tired, so I did not write here.. My difficult task at my work is over finally! I can get some rest now. Monday will my day off, so it will be three free days for me. I planned walking and watching films, sleeping enough and relaxing. Also I will learn English of course. I learn new words on Lingualeo.ru - it is good resource for people who want to improve their vocabulary skills. I will have next lesson with Phil on Tuesday, so I need to be prepared :)

I just came home from work... 1.15 am =( But I have a good news! Today we have got a Schengen visa. We are going to Italy in October. I really need a vacation. It will be great holiday in Rome with Roma =) Moreover, visa is valid for three month since middle of October, so we can go to somwhere in Europe on Christmas holiday. We think about Amsterdam or Paris... We had thought go to Asia (India, Thai or Sri Lanka) but I am not sure yet that it will happen. Will see =) Please, correct errors, I am afraid I screwed up with Past Perfect in penultimate sentence)))

Learning Yesterday was my first English lesson with native speaker. His name is Phil, he is from UK (he lived near London), now he lives in China (in north area), where he teaches Chinese English. Before lesson I was really nervous - I was afraid of being late (my work is over one hour before lesson and my current task could required to stay longer in office), also I felt some stress about my speaking skills. But as a result I was in front of computer in time. Phil was so friendly and communicative, that I did not notice that the lesson is over. I understood everything he said, but could not always answer, because sometimes I forget even simple words. My vocabulary is too limited so far. Anyway, I think it was very interesting ans useful and we already have sheduled new lesson on Thursday. As usual I will be grateful for correcting errors in this note! =)

It's been a hard day's night It is just Monday - first day of week, but I need some rest already. I have had a very stressful situation on my job - as of the all last week.My current task is so complicated, I want to finish it as soon as possible (deadline was two weeks ago), but there is no result yet. The only good news - it is not my fault, now result more dependent on other people.
