Сегодня разберем тему эссе для ЕГЭ “Some people think that young people should follow in their parents' footsteps when choosing a profession”, как правильно перефразировать, привести аргументы, не отойдя от темы.
Начнем с перевода на русский.
“Некоторые люди считают, что молодые люди должны следовать по стопам родителей в выборе профессии”
Выделяем ключевые слова:
“Некоторые люди считают, что молодые люди должны следовать по стопам родителей в выборе профессии”
Находим синонимы
Follow in their parents’ footsteps - follow parents’ example, make the same choice as parents
Choosing a profession - career choice, making a decision about future profession, choosing a job
Дополнительно может пригодиться лексика
Перефразировать тему можно лексически:
It is believed that young people ought to make a career choice following their parents' example.
Или грамматически
It is thought that choosing the same profession as one their parents have is the best option for young people.
Определяемся с аргументами
PRO
- If a young person follows in their parents' steps in a career choice his or her parents can always give him or her valuable advice and support at the beginning, that is why it is highly recommended to repeat your parents’ job decision.
- It is always hard for a young person to make a career choice without knowing its essence deeply and having tried out the job, so it is better to have the same job as your parent has because you can know much more about it even before you start studying it, what gives a considerable advantage.
- Inheriting a family trade or business by young people is a long tradition, when a parent educates their children in his or her craft to proceed with family business or craftsmanship.
CON
- Nowadays jobs and professions change and become outdated quickly, so a young person during his or her life can change several professions in order to get a well-paid job or acknowledgement, so there is no need to choose the job the same as your parents have.
- Profession is an essential part of person's life, a way to express yourself, a base for self-esteem and wealth, so it is recommended for a young person to make a career choice in line with his or her talents, bents and ambitions, but not parents’ example.
- For young people it is extremely important to be unique, find their own way in life and realize their potential, but following in their parents’ footsteps they will miss this opportunity.
При составлении аргументов я столкнулась с тем, что явно упускала из темы ‘young person’, которое само по себе очевидно, но не всегда, ведь такая же проблема может возникнуть у зрелых и пожилых людей, когда они решают сменить сферу деятельности, также я специально не стала менять 'young people' на синонимы, чтобы избежать ухода от темы
- youngsters (устаревшее),
- youth (не конкретное, молодежь),
- teenagers (уже по смыслу 13-19 лет, возрастная группа, как субкультура, а мы говорим о личности),
- adolescents ( уже по смыслу, 12-18 лет, более социальный термин (подростковая преступность, беременность)
Остается правильно оформить структуру, ввести аргументы и контраргументы, а также написать заключение
Мой вариант:
To sum up, choosing the same job as your parent has is\is not recommended.
Мои предыдущие разборы:
“Some people think that to get a good education one should go abroad”
'Public libraries are becoming less popular and they will soon disappear'
'Some people think that extreme sports help to build character'
'Some people think that learning foreign languages is a waste of time and money'
