III. Jackie Snow is talking about her Student’s life in London:
I came to London two months ago because I want to be a professional dancer, and the best schools of dance are here in London. I'm doing a course at the National Dance School, which is very hard work, but I'm really enjoying it. The course is expensive, but I work with a theatre group at the weekend. We teach dance to groups of children. I'm living with another girl in a flat in north London. It's small, but it's comfortable. My boyfriend, Tony, lives in the same street with his parents. They're very kind, and often cook meals for me.
I know my parents are worried about me living in London, but it isn't dangerous at all if you're careful. It's so exciting here, there's so much to do and see. It was difficult in the beginning, especially getting to know the Underground, and I didn't know many people, but it's fine now. I have a lot of good friends. I love my Mum and Dad very much, but I don't want to live at home for the rest of my life. I phone home every Sunday, and when I go to a museum or art gallery, I always send them a postcard. Mum reads them, but I don't know if Dad does. (Headway Intermediate, 2 b)
STUDYING TECHNOLOGY.
|
I. A Carrier in Engineering. |
Who makes a good engineer? Well, if you're innovative and like a challenge, then engineering may just be the right career field for you. The best engineers really like to solve complex problems. They are also typically true inventors. Math and science is an engineer's playground. So if you struggled through your algebra, this career may not be the right fit for you.
Most engineers work as a team, therefore you should be a team player and possess great skills communicating with others. This will be highly important when planning and creating new projects. Engineers are also practical, innovative, creative and curious about how things work. So many innovative technologies created by engineers help make the world safer and healthier. They help people and improve the environment.
The Belarusian-Russian University may be the ideal University for those young people who want to follow a carrier in Engineering.
II. My University.
“Which University to enter?” is one of the biggest decisions you have to make after leaving school. It determines your entire future life.
This year I entered the Belarusian-Russian University in Mogilev. And now I am a first year student of this University and I am going to become an engineer. It is a dynamic modern university with a long history of providing higher education to meet the needs of society and industry. The University is subordinate to the Ministries of Education of the Republic of Belarus and of the Russian Federation.
The Belarusian-Russian University was founded in 1961 as the Mogilev Mechanical-Engineering Institute and later was reorganized into a university. It is located in the centre of Mogilev. Now it comprises a system of a continuous educational process: Lyceum - College of Architecture and Construction – University – Professional Development and Retraining Institute. The number of undergraduates at the University is 7500. The University has 8 faculties. It trains engineers and economists in compliance with the Belarusian and Russian educational standards.
Entrance to the University is by centralised testing. Those who pass tests successfully are enrolled in the first course. The basic subjects of this year are Higher Mathematics, Physics, History of Belarus, Belarusian, Russian and a Foreign Language, PT classes, etc. These subjects lay the foundation for specialized subsequent years. The University has a good computer network and our library exemplifies a real investment in supporting our students’ learning.
The duration of the University course is five years full-time, starting in September. On successful completion of the course, one may progress to a number of degree-level courses - Master and Post- Graduate (PhD) courses. The University has a specialized Board for defending theses and awarding the Candidates of Engineering Sciences degrees. Students from foreign countries are an important part of the Belarusian-Russian University. The University highly values its many international contacts.
According to the master plan of the BRU, the university is to receive another building which is under construction now. The University has three Halls of Residence situated within a walking distance from it. There are several sports clubs, providing a wide range of sporting opportunities.
