Studying on the second course at the university is quite interesting for me and it demands almost
all my spare time. However, I started thinking about my near future and my plans. Nowadays
everyone dreams about a successful career. I also want to become a very good specialist in my
sphere. After having studied languages, I understood that I really want my life to be connected
with them. Accordingly, my plans for the near future is to improve my level of English and to
acquire new knowledge of it. I enjoy being taught new constructions and new collocations.
Moreover, my mother insisted on me signing up for new courses on English in use. In addition, I
plan to visit the USA in order to practice my language skills and learn something new about the
customs and traditions of these countries. I'd like to practice my English with natives rather than
with Russian-speaking people. I was annoyed with my previous group making plenty of mistakes
at extra curriculum activities. I believe that the idea of me becoming a good specialist will be
real.
