CARRIE GOES TO A DEPARTMENT STORE

Carrie reached Dearborn Street. Here was the great Fair store

with its crowds of shoppers. She thought she would go in and

see. She would look at the jackets.

She paused at each article of clothing. How pretty she would

look in this, how charming that would make her! Carrie stopped

at the jewellery department. She saw the earrings, the bracelets,

the pins, the chains.

But the jackets were the greatest attraction. When she

entered the store, she already had her heart fixed on a jacket

with large motherofpearl buttons. The cut was all the fashion

that fall.2 She said to herself there was nothing she would like

better.

Here she saw Drouet who was coming up to her smiling.

“Let’s go and look at the jackets,” he said as if he had read

her thoughts.

When Carrie got the jacket in her hand, it seemed so much

nicer. The saleswoman helped her on with it. It fitted perfectly.

It was just her size, not a bit loose. She looked quite smart.

Carrie turned before the glass. She could not help feeling

pleased as she looked at herself. It was so becoming.

“That’s the thing,” said Drouet. “Now pay for it.”

“It’s nine dollars,” said Carrie, after she had asked the sales

woman how much it was. She took out one of the bills and gave

it to the cashier.

From there they went to a shoe department where Carrie
tried on some shoes. Drouet stood by and when he saw how nice
they looked, said: “Wear them.”
Then Drouet advised her to buy a purse made of leather, a
pair of gloves and stockings.
Carrie thought that she would come the next day and buy
herself a skirt to match the new jacket.

меня зовут наталья. мне 15 лет. я учусь в 9-м классе государственной средней школы. на данный момент я столкнулась с важным периодом жизни, когда мне нужно выбрать свою будущую профессию.

к счастью, я могу выбирать из различных типов старшей школы. все ученики нашей
школы имеют возможность выбрать тип группы и предметов, которые они хотят изучать более тщательно. например, если я собираюсь, стать врачом, было бы хорошей идеей для меня присоединиться к биологическому классу, где особое внимание уделяется естественным наукам. таким образом, в конце 9-го класса я
должна сделать окончательное решение.

моя мечта всегда была стать юристом. к счастью, в нашей школе есть специальный класс для будущих юристов. большинство уроков в таком классе будет связано с и правом. у нас также будет много уроков ораторского искусства, политологии, международного
права, иностранных языков и много других интересных предметов.

мой выбор был сделан не сразу. я долго размышляла. я считаю, что быть юристом не только благородная профессия, но и востребованная. кроме того, я хотела бы знать больше об права и о других полезных правовых аспектах. я
думаю, что в наше время важно быть юридически осведомленным.

profession choice выбор профессии

my name is natalia. i’m 15 years old. i study in the 9th grade of the state secondary school. at the moment i’m facing an important period of life when i need to choose my future
profession.

fortunately, i can choose from different types of high school. all pupils in our school have an opportunity to choose the type of a group and subjects they want to study more thoroughly. for example, if i’m planning to become a doctor, it would be a good idea for me to join
a biological class, where a special attention is paid to natural sciences. so, at the end of the 9th form i have to make my final decision.

my dream has always been to become a lawyer. luckily there is a special class in our school for future lawyers. the majority of lessons in such
class will be connected with history and law. we will also have lots of lessons of eloquence, political science, international law, foreign languages and many other interesting subjects.

my choice wasn’t made instantly. i took my time to think it over. i believe that being a lawyer is
not only a noble profession but also a demanded one. besides i would like to know more about the history of law and about other useful legal aspects. i think that it’s vital to be legally aware in modern times.
