One day everyone has to choose a career. In my opinion, this is one of the seminal moments in life because it will influence your future significantly. Let us take a closer look and further investigate what are advantages and disadvantages of a scientific career.
On the one hand, this activity is very exciting. You communicate with the cleverest people of your time, attend conferences and read to a lot to keep up with the time. Your brain works all the time trying to solve all the mysteries and riddles of the nature and the world. And one day you will probably make a discovery that will improve people’s lives or cure cancer.
On the other hand, being a scientist can’t be so exciting. For example, it can be boring. Imagine a small laboratory with a lot of dull and boring people who don’t like their job and don’t invent and discover anything. Or this work can be dangerous. Scientists often work with poisonous substances and as a result of an accident they may suffer.
To sum up, I suppose that many things have to be taken into account. There are pros and cons and I think that if am offered a scientific career, I will consider this particular case very thoroughly and only then I will make my decision.
Means of communication
Means of communicationPeople use various means of communication to get from one place to another. In the old days people had to travel several days, weeks and months to get to the place they needed. They either went on foot, by coaches driven by horses or on horseback
or by. boats and ships. Then trams, cars, buses, planes, underground and other means appeared.
Many people like to travel by air as it is the fastest way of traveling. A lot of people like to travel by train because they can look at passing villages, forests and fields thro-ugh windows. Some people like to travel by car. There they can go as slowly or as fast as they like. They can stop when and where they want.
People who live in big cities use various means of communication to get from one place to another. Londoners use the underground railway. They call it “the tube”
. Lon-don's underground is the oldest in the world. It was opened in 1863. There was one route at that time, four miles long. Now London's underground has 277 stations and it is 244 miles long. Londoners use buses. The first bus route was opened in London in 1904 Today there are hundreds of routes there. The interesting thing is that some of the routes are the same as many years ago.
London's buses are double-decked buses. Londoners do not use trams, though London was the first city where trams appeared. And now it is one of the biggest cities in the world where there are no trams. The last tram left the streets of London many years ago. Londoners use cars. One can see a lot of cars in London
streets. When Londoners leave the town, they use trains, ships or planes.
