Программирование по своей сути – сложный процесс, в результате которого появляется готовый продукт, имеющий практическое применение в какой-либо отрасли. Чтобы грамотно и четко создать жизнеспособную программу, специалист должен обладать серьезными знаниями и навыками, а также нетривиальным подходом к вопросу.
Хороший программист обязан быть предельно внимательным и вдумчивым, склонным к анализу и скрупулезному труду. Он должен быть человеком практичного характера и уметь находить кратчайший путь к цели. При этом он должен обладать также фантазией и творческим мышлением.
Таким образом, программист должен сочетать в себе два противоположных начала, одновременно и гуманитарный, и технический склад ума. Разумеется, это вовсе не простой момент, и молодые люди, стремящиеся к этой профессии, должны учитывать тот факт, что при относительной слабости одной из составляющих высокий уровень становится просто невозможным.
Тем не менее, эта профессия действительно перспективна, привлекательна своей многогранностью и широко востребована во всем мире.

In such a manner, the programmer should combine two opposite beginnings, simultaneously both humanitarian, and technical mentality. Of course, it not at all simple moment, and young people seeking to this trade, should.

in supermarkets these days are so 1) .......(beautifully) presented:
bread is wrapped in a plastic bag, biscuits in cardboard boxes, apples
on plastic trays. Have you ever bought a product simply because you
liked the way it looked? Ask yourself what is more important - the
contents or the 2)........... (wraping)!
Yes, we do need packaging. It

(presentable) to consumers. But there is a high price to pay. Did you know
that anything between 10 - 50 % of the price of food today is down to
its packaging? Or that packaging makes up 32% of the total weight of
solid waste? This is bad news as most packaging is not 4) ..........

place!
7)................(thankfully), supermarkets are now working to
cut back. As packages become smaller and lighter, less energy is needed
to transport them. Lighter packaging means less waste. However, there is
still a long way to go!
So, what's all this got to do with you, the
consumer? Well, don't buy 8).......(products) simply because of the way
they look! Instead...

'green' packaging that is 9)........ (reusable) e.g. glass jars for
