Текст Екатерины Шмидт
(ученицы нашей школы)

ЧАСТЬ ПЕРВАЯ
(Всего четыре части)

Было время, когда я мечтал о работе, которая будет оплачиваться ровно так же, с каким трудом я её выполняю. К слову, я творческий человек, и это не совсем то же самое, что быть адвокатом, доктором или юристом. В России многие творческие профессии до сих пор оцениваются не по достоинству. Когда я понял, что на деньги за любимую работу мне не выжить, пришлось найти другую и работать там, где платят достойно.

TEACHER'S TRANSLATION VERSIONS:

There was a time when I dreamed about a job that would pay me equally for the efforts I applied for it.
= There was a moment as I dreamed of a job that would fully pay for (all) my energy I gave to it.

I'm a person of art, by the way, and it is not the same as being a barrister, doctor or a lawyer.
= Actually, I'm a creative personality, which is not as being a barrister, doctor or a lawyer.

There are many art professions in Russia that are not valued according to merit.
= A lot of professions of art in Russia are underestimated.

Once I understood that the money I earned for my favourite work was not enough for surviving,
= As soon as I realised that the money I got for my favourite job was little (in order) to survive,

I had to find another one that paid decently.
= I was forced to seek another work that paid worthily.

ПОЛЕЗНЫЕ СИНОНИМЫ СЛОВ И ВЫРАЖЕНИЙ:

творческий человек: a creative person = a person of art = an art person = a creative thinker = a creative personality

как только я понял: the moment I understood = once I got aware of/that = the instant I realised = as soon as I came to awareness

платить достойно: to pay decently = to pay worthily = to pay handsomely
