I'm agree with you lubov. Each family has a very important role in producing a good person who can live,participate and who can be useful to his society. But also the society itself and the common rules in it have a huge effect on every single person .
About careers I think it doesn't matter what you're working .which really matter is do you love it and can you make difference in that field or not . If you don't like what you do you and your career will be Non-significant

Lubov, most of your pronunciation, while accented, is not too bothersome or hard to understand. However, I would pay attention to two things:

Make the effort to learn to pronounce the TH sounds correctly. Do not replace them with "S" and "Z", as you do now, because you will end up wanting to say one world but saying a different one, sometimes making the sentence very funny. There is a famous video about that, in fact. YouTube doesn't seem to be loading at this late hour of the night (3:22 a.m. where I live), so I can't show it to you right now.

Secondly, you don't need to exaggerate the melody of your voice as much as you do. When you speak in such a sing-songy way, you sound like you are reading fairy tales to children, or like Russian recordings from the 1930s, in the days when theatrical actors spoke over old-fashioned recording equipment.
