every year schoolchildren have their winter holidays. they usually last for 2 weeks: from the new year’s day till the 12th of january. i am sure that all of us look forward to this time because it’s a great chance not to get up early and to do what we want. as for me i always sleep till 9 a.m. during my winter holidays. then i turn on my tv and lie in my bed for another hour.

winter holidays are even more exciting because we celebrate new year and christmas. our mood is joyful. the whole atmosphere is full of magic. people exchange presents, decorate their homes, cook delicious food, visit each other and have parties.

if the weather is cold i prefer to stay at home or visit my friends. they can also come to my place. we play computer games, surf the internet or watch tv. the programmes on tv are really interesting during our holidays, so we watch plenty of cool films. in warm weather we go to the cinema or a café, play ice-hockey or go skiing to the park. hockey and skiing are my hobbies. we can even play snowballs and make funny snowmen.

in the evening my mother often asks me to help her about the house. my duty is washing up, watering plants and taking the rubbish out. as i don’t have to get up early during my holidays my parents allow me to watch tv and read books till midnight.

i enjoy my winter holidays. it’s a nice time to relax and take a short rest from my studies. it’s a pity that winter holidays always pass so quickly

Профессия- это деятельность любого рода, для которой человек имеет необходимую квалификацию и подготовку.  Если вам нужно заполнить бланк,в Британии, например нужно читать "Оккупацию", и если с вами беседуют, то могут спросить у вас: "Что для вас это занятие?" Если он уже имеет представление о том, какую работу выполняли, являетесь ли вы Профессиональным работником, техником, квалифицированным, полуквалифицированным, неквалифицированным работником, то он может задать вопрос более конкретно: "Какова ваша профессия?", "Какое твое занятие?", или же "Кем ты работаешь?" В обычном повседневном разговоре , человек, Который хочет знать, какова твоя профессия  может просто спросить: "Чем занимаешься по жизни?",  "Что мистер Джон?", "Что вы делаете, Стив?"
Существуют три основные группы профессий: Профессии, торги, рабочие места.
Традиционно, профессия это- занятие, которое требует интеллектуальный труд и высшее образование в университете или академии.  Таким образом мы говорим о профессии врача, профессии учителя, профессии инженера и т.д
Торговля- это профессия, которая требует высокий уровень мастерства рук и опыт  практической, теоретической подготовки. Механики, слесари, портные, ткачи, парикмахеры и тд тоже учились торговать.
Многие профессии не являются не сделками, ни профессиями. Мы часто называем их "Рабочими местами" В этом смысле термин включает в себя работу неквалифицированных и недостаточно квалифицированных занятий  с одной стороны, и занятия, которые требуют знаний и умственных навыков- с другой. Разделительные линии  между торговлей, рабочими местами и профессий  не всегда ясны
