ordinary people (unlike a doctor or a teacher). Others think that engineers play an
important role in the progress of the society. Whose opinion do you share and why?
3. At school students start thinking about their future profession. Some
consider taking creative jobs while others prefer technical professions. However,
there are some schoolchildrep. who believe that there is no difference what to choase

a prosperous specialist. Do you agree?

Answer
1. Arguments to persuade your friend could include the potential for a successful career, the opportunity to work with cutting-edge technology, and the potential to make a positive impact on society.
2. I share the opinion that engineers play an important role in the progress of society. Engineers are responsible for developing and improving technology, which can have a positive impact on people's lives.
3. I believe that each profession requires a unique set of qualities. While some qualities may be shared across professions, such as problem-solving and communication skills, each profession also requires its own set of skills and knowledge.
4. I do not agree that becoming a successful engineer is simple. It requires hard work, dedication, and a deep understanding of the material.
5. I do not agree with your friend's opinion that engineering is routine and boring. Engineering is a creative and challenging field that requires problem-solving and critical thinking skills.
