I.
| 1. What and who influenced her/his choice of career? 2. What did her/his parents want her/him to do? 3. What was the parents’ attitude to the choice of career at first? 4. Has the parents’ attitude changed? If so, why? 5. In what ways do the parents think that times have changed since they were young? | The Nanny |
| Amanda’s nannies influenced her choice. | |
| Her father wanted her to be a solicitor. | |
| Her parents thought it was a childish phase and there were some terrible rows in the family. | |
| They weren’t angry for long and made it up before she went to college, and they had encouraged her ever since. | |
| To my mind her parents became aware that the world had changed and ‘nannying’ and other modern servant professions had become more socially acceptable. | |
| The Cook | |
| His grandparents’ cook influenced his choice. | |
| His relatives wanted him to do the farming. | |
| His parents supported him though his father was taken aback at first. | |
| His parents are proud of him though his grandfather continues thinking he is mad. | |
| Now his parents think that anyone with a job they enjoy is very lucky. | |
| The Gardener | |
| Hugo’s family had a gardener and Hugo spent hours watching him. | |
| He studied archaeology and his parents were delighted when he went to Oxford. | |
| They got very angry as they thought manual labour was not the career for their only son. | |
| They made it up when their daughter told them not to worry because Hugo would be a millionaire by the time he was forty. | |
| His parents think times have changed and all kinds of people do all kinds of work and that makes them happy. |
II.

| 3. | carry on | продолжать | But I knew it was a waste of time to carry on studying archaeology, and the moment I started gardening again, I knew I’d made the right decision. Я знал, что продолжать изучать археологию-это пустая трата времени. И когда я решил заняться садоводством снова, я понимал, что принял правильное решение. |

| 7. | get over | свыкнуться с мыслью | His grandfather still hasn't got overit, but his mother and I are delighted that he is doing something he enjoys. Его дедушка до сих пор не может свыкнуться с этой мыслью, но мы с мамой в полном восторге, что он занимается любимым делом. |
| 8. | give up | бросить (что-л.) | After a term I told my parents that I was going to give it up and go back to work in the garden centre. В конце семестра я сказал родителям, что бросаю учебу и возвращаюсь в садовый центр. |

| 12. | make it up | мириться | Mummy and Daddy weren’t angry for long, we made it upbefore I went to college, and they have encouraged me ever since. Мои родители долго не сердились, и мы помирились, перед тем как я поступил в колледж. С тех пор они меня поддерживали. |

| 16. | put off | откладывать (что-л. на более поздний срок) | I enjoyed it so much, I knew I couldn’t put off telling my parents any longer, so I brought the subject up one night over dinner. Мне это так нравилось, что я понял, что не могу это утаивать долго от родителей. Однажды вечером за обедом я все рассказал. |
| 17. | bring up | поднимать (вопрос); заводить (разговор) | |
| 18. | take after | пойти по стопам | Her father is still a bit disappointed that she did not take after him and study law, but I think we are both proud, and also pleased, that she has made her own decisions in life and done so well. Его отец до сих пор немного расстроен, что она не пошла по его стопам и не изучает юриспруденцию. Но я думаю, что мы оба гордимся и рады, что наша дочь самостоятельно сделала выбор и у нее все получается. |

V. Describe in writing the main idea of the three texts.
They say so many people so many jobs. Cooking, gardening, quilting, knitting and a great many of other jobs is not only a hobby nowadays. People earn money on what they can do and can do professionally. Many people like to hire full time maids for their home, who can take care of their entire house and keep it clean and exquisite. Most of gardeners, cooks have a personal interest in their business.
To be a modern servant nowadays is becoming a common thing. It begins with the natural feeling that one wants to serve to disabled people, to do child keeping, to grow plants and design the private gardens, to do the cooking and make up new recipes to make people happy and to bring joy in their life.
