Text N “Forestry faculty”

I study at the Tyumen State Agricultural Academy. It was founded in 1959 as an Agricultural Institute. It got the title of the Academy on 3^rd April, 1995.

Our Academy has four Institutes: Agro-Technology, Mechanical-Technology, Institute of Economy and Finance and the Institute of Biotechnology and Veterinary Medicine.

I am a second-year student of Forestry faculty, the Mechanical- Technology Institute. Our Institute was founded in 2000.

Nowadays there are seven faculties at the Mechanical- Technology Institute. It has a highly qualified teaching staff. Moreover, there are 28 modern laboratories: laboratories of agricultural machines, tractors and automobiles, well-equipped baking shop and workshops at the Mechanical- Technology Institute.

Forestry faculty was established in 2002. Our faculty trains engineers for timber industry. I am a full-time student.

I think my future speciality is very important and necessary one. It requires deep knowledge in all branches of agriculture. We study many subjects, which are interesting and necessary for our future speciality. They are Mathematics, English, descriptive geometry, strength of materials, silviculture , aspects of general ecology, timber technology and many others. All these subjects help us to become qualified specialists.

We can learn skills, which fit us for a better career in future. An educated person contributes more to the society and education gives a person the prospect for professional advance.

I think my future speciality is connected with forestry and efficient utilization of woods. One of the main tasks of the specialist is to improve the species of the vegetation and the quality of woods.

As a matter of fact, we can not imagine our life without forests. They are considered to be “the lungs of our planet”. Thus, we must preserve them and use efficiently.

While studying the students of our faculty have their practical work on the experimental training farm and at different enterprises of our region.

My future speciality is difficult but at the same time interesting and important. I think I like my future speciality.
