- Hello, Max. Haven’t seen you for ages. How are you getting on?
- Hi, Alex, nice to meet you. I am fine.
- Where are you going with this bag? Are you leaving for anywhere?
- Oh, nothing of the kind. I am going to the university’s fitness center.
- Great. Where do you study after leaving the school?
- At the State University – Education-Science-Production Complex.
- And what about you?
-As for me I am a student of the Orel State University, the Faculty of Law.
- Really? If I am not mistaken you were going to enter the Moscow State University.
- That’s right. But I haven’t got enough scores at the UNE to enter this university. But it is just as well. I am glad to stay in my native town. To tell the truth my parents, especially mum, weren’t be happy about my studying in Moscow.
- I see. What is done can’t be undone.
-Certainly. And what specialty have you chosen to study?
- Construction. I am a student of the Institute of Architecture and Construction. I’d like to be a civil engineer.
- I like your choice. It is a profession in demand. But to my mind it is very difficult to learn so-called technical subjects.
- You are right. But they don’t trouble me at all, besides I try to attend classes regularly and to work hard at the seminars. So I am able to get high scores before exams. But it’s a pity I am an outsider in the humanitarian subjects like philosophy, Russian History, culturology and English.
- I see. You are a typical grease-monkey (технарь). As for me, I am a scholar (гуманитарий ) and have no troubles with these subjects. I am afraid to have problems with IT.
- To each their own (каждому свое). I can help you with IT. Are you well at English?
- I am. If you need a help, call me.
-Ok. Lets’ change our telephone numbers.
- Well, I was really glad to see you again. And now I must leave, my friends are waiting for me. Bye.
- See you later. Bye.
