Text A. At the Institute.

Every year many young people who really care for medicine enter medical institutes and become students. A new life begins - it is the life of the adult who has the responsibility for all his actions before the society.

Some students live at the hostels, others - with their relatives. Many students get scholarships. If a student has excellent marks in all the subjects at the entrance examinations he gets an increased scholarship.

The students work much in class, at the institute laboratories and libraries. If the students want to become not ordinary but good doctors, they must pay attention to modern medical literature. It means that they must study not only their textbooks but read many special medical articles in the Russian and foreign languages.

Already in the first year some students join students' scientific societies. There they work on those subjects, which they care for. It may be Biology, Chemistry, or Anatomy. In the Anatomy Scientific Society the subject of the students' work may be the study of the heart or other organs of the body. In the second year some students join the Physiology Scientific Society where they study the functions of the organs. This work in the Scientific Societies will help future doctors to understand the character of many diseases better. It will teach them to be more observant.
