Student life
2.27 What do you know about student life in Russia – cultural, sport, scientific? What do you know about student life at your university? Read the text and say which event or activity do you take part in?
At SMTU studying is not confined to the classroom. There is a wide range of social, recreational and sports activities. There are also a lot of annual traditional and cultural events to look forward to.
Students’ social life is planned to encourage their creativity and abilities. A wide range of students’ activities in the SMTU includes a variety of festivals such as “KVN” clubs, intellectual games (“What? Where? When?”, Brain Ring), various competitions and parties. The “Korabel” club offers to try your hand at singing in “Gaudeamus” choir, a patriotic club, dancing, drumming, photo-, theatre-, DJ-, showmen studios and others. Balls, holidays, contests and marine festivals are held all year long.
University students’ scientific life is marked by participating in the All-Russia Science Festival, the International Cultural-educational technical higher school course of the Shanhai Cooperation Union countries and the Student Scientific Forum “Lomonosov’s Land”.
There are sport and fitness clubs at the University. They hold chess, rowing, sailing, billiards, football, basketball, volleyball sport competitions and tournaments. Every spring nearly all the students take part in a sport competition “Lotsmanskaya Mile”.
2.28 Read the text and tell your partner about your group and studies. Our group and our studies
There are twenty-five students in our group. Most of us entered the university just after leaving school. We have both boys and girls in the group. Our group is friendly and we like spending time together.
Many of us live in the hostel. Our hostel is not far from the University. It takes us about ten minutes to get to the University on foot (by bus, by tram, by metro). There is a library and a reading room in our hostel.
At the University we have lectures, seminars, classes and laboratory works. In the first year we have higher mathematics, physics, chemistry, the history of Russia, science of materials, foreign languages English, German or French and some other subjects. By the way, I am good at history but maths doesn’t come easy to me.
Most of my groupmates get basic grants and three of us get increased grants. All of us take part in social activities. We all go in for sports. I go in for rowing.
The academic year is divided into two terms: the autumn term and the spring term. At the end of each term students take examinations and if they work hard enough, they pass them successfully.
