Bodyguards. (см. Приложение 1)
The world we live in can be a dangerous one. Some people need to have a bodyguard to protect them and their families. Politicians in almost all countries are guarded by bodyguards. The President of the USA never goes anywhere without Secret Service agents. Important business people or rock stars may also have bodyguards to protect them. A bodyguard is a dangerous job. Good bodyguards are prepared to risk their own lives to protect their clients. Some bodyguards were bulled-proof vests. Bodyguards also teach their clients how to avoid dangerous situation. The bodyguards usually stay with their clients everywhere they go. They can protect their clients’ homes and offices.
Vets. (см. Приложение 2)
Animals are very important to people. We keep dogs and cats as pets. Some farmers have sheep and cows to produce meat and milk. We ride horses. We watch lions and tigers at the circus.
For people who love animals, working as a veterinarian is an ideal job. Veterinarians, or vets, treat many kinds of animals such as dogs, cats, guinea pigs, cows and horses. Some vets even treat zoo animals such as tigers and giraffes. Vets have to be careful when they treat sick animals. The sick animal can bite, kick or scratch them. They have to learn about different diseases that animals get and how to treat them. Vets also learn how to treat animals so that neither the vet nor the animal gets hurt.
