3. Read and answer the questions relating them to the real life.
• Can you imagine yourself in ten years’ time?
• What will your professional career and your family life be like?
• What are your strong and weak points?
• What are your priorities now? Do you think they will change with time?

• What features do you appreciate in people in general?

• Do you think you have these features? What would you like to change in yourself?

• What is the greatest dream you have?

• Are you doing anything to make your dream come true?

4. Read and generalize your ideas.

“How does it feel to be young in the world which faces so many complicated and confusing questions?” Even grown-ups can’t answer. If the grown-up world has some stability, the world of teenagers is, in most cases, full of doubts in themselves and their future. Establishing relations with other people - parents, teachers, friends-doesn’t always come easy either. What may comfort you is that these problems aren’t unique as most people pass through this difficult stage, too. Young people are usually quite impressionable and sensitive and tend to jump to conlusions as they don’t often have enough experience and wisdom to evaluate the situation and foresee all possible results of their behaviour. Naturally that may lead to certain problems and misunderstanding. What does the future hold for me? Am I going to be happy? Shall I find a good job? All these questions are of primary importance for you and your peers. Your future begins today and largely depends on what you are doing now.
