31. A) Make written translation of the text; b) think of a title.
Oxford and Cambridge are the oldest and most prestigious universities in Great Britain. They are often called collectively Oxbridge to denote an elitarian education. Both universities are independent. Mostly students are former public schools leavers.
Oxford is one of the oldest universities in Europe. It is the second largest in Britain, after London. The university's earliest charter is dated back to 1213. There are now twenty-four colleges for men, five for women and another five which have both men and women members. Among the oldest colleges are University College, All Souls and Christ Church.
The Cambridge University started during the 13-th century and grew until today. Now there are more than thirty colleges. The University was only for men until 1871, when the first women's college was opened. Almost all colleges are now mixed.
The tutorial is the basic mode of instruction at Oxford and Cambridge, with lectures as optional extras. The normal length of the degree course is three years, after which the students take the Degree of Bachelor of Arts (B.A.). Some courses, such as languages or medicine, may be one or two years longer.
Oxford and Cambridge universities consist of a number of colleges. Each college is different, but in many ways they are alike. Each college has its name, its coat of arms. Each college is governed by a Master. The larger ones have more than 400 members; the smallest colleges have less than 30. Each college offers teaching in a wide range of subjects.
Notes:
tutorial - консультации, практические занятия с наставником
full academic dress - парадная форма одежды
coat of arms - герб
Master - мастер (титул главы некоторых колледжей в Оксфорде и Кембридже)
University College - Юниверсити-Колледж (основан в 1249 г.)
All Souls - Олл-Соулз, Колледж Всех Душ (1438)
Christ Church - Крайст-Черч (один из самых крупных аристократических колледжей Оксфорда, 1525)

В 16 лет, после завершения обязательного цикла образования, студенты могут либо уйти из школы и начать работать, либо продолжить образование для того, чтобы поступить в университет. Желающим поступить в университет предлагается двухгодичный курс A-levels. После первого года обучения сдаются экзамены A-levels, а после второго - A2-levels. Первый год обучения предполагает обязательное изучение 4-5 предметов, второй 3-4. Обязательных предметов, необходимых к сдаче, нет - все предметы студент подбирает себе индивидуально из 15-20 предложенных школой, тем самым определяя свою специализацию, которой будут посвящены последующие 5-6 лет обучения в университете. Часто иностранные студенты, приезжая на учебу в Великобританию, начинают свое образование с A-levels.
Образование с 18-ти лет
После прохождения двухгодичного курса A-levels студенты могут получить либо профессиональное, либо высшее образование.
Профессиональное образование (Further education - FE) включает в себя курсы профессиональной подготовки и некоторые курсы для получения высшего образования (степени бакалавра). Термин «профессиональное образование» используется, чтобы обозначить курсы для тех, кто ушел из школы в возрасте 16 лет. В Великобритании насчитывается более 600 государственных и частных колледжей дальнейшего образования. Эти учебные заведения предлагают различные программы обучения, включая курсы английского языка, программы подготовки к получению общего свидетельства о среднем образовании и A-levels, профессиональные курсы.
Высшее образование (Higher education - HE) включает в себя программы по получению степени бакалавра, последипломные программы (магистратура, докторская степень) и MBA. Термин «высшее образование» обозначает обучение в университетах, колледжах и институтах, которые предлагают получение ученой или докторской степени.
