Unit I text my life story

My name is Andrey Belov. I am 18. I come from Kursk. Now I live in the hostel in Obninsk, as I study at the Obninsk State Technical University for Nuclear Power Engineering. I’m a second-year student. I belong to the Physics and Power Engineering Faculty. Upon graduation I’m going to work at a nuclear power plant. My major is reactor design, so I would like to operate a reactor.

I’ve got a family. My family is not large, but very friendly. We are four: my father, my mother, my elder sister and I. I am not married yet, but my sister is. Natasha has got her own family. My parents are engineers, they both work at the nuclear power plant. My sister is an economist, but she doesn’t work now, because she has to take care of her small children.

I always try to find time not only for academic activities but also for my leisure. I’ve got an interesting hobby. It’s collecting coins. To keep fit I go in for sport. I’m good at swimming. I’m also fond of music. I can play the guitar. Like all my friends, I enjoy playing computer games.

UNIT II

TEXT Our University

I study at the Obninsk State Technical University for Nuclear Power Engineering. This higher educational institution was established in 1957 as a part-time department of Moscow Physics and Power Engineering Institute to train specialists for the new branch of science – nuclear physics. Then in 1985 it became the Institute of Nuclear Power Engineering. Among its founders were such prominent scientists as Glasanov (the first rector), Liashenko, Leipunsky, Marchuk and others.

Since 2002 it has enjoyed the status of technical university. Now it offers a wide range of subjects linked with nuclear physics, cybernetics, medicine, and economics. There are four faculties at our university: the Faculty of Cybernetics, the Physics and Power Engineering Faculty, the Faculty of Social and Economic Sciences, and the Faculty of Natural Sciences.

The Physics and Power Engineering Faculty trains engineers mainly for nuclear power plants, i.e. specialists in reactor design, non-destructive testing, and dosimetry; the Faculty of Cybernetics trains specialists in applied mathematics and automatic control systems; the others – in ecology, biology, psychology, medicine, and management.

The Obninsk State Technical University for Nuclear Power Engineering is well known in our country and abroad. The graduates from our university work not only at nuclear power plants, but also in different branches of industry, agriculture, and medicine.
