Hello! My name is Ann.I study at the South-Western (former) Polytechnical University. It is located in the north-westrn part of our city.. It is one of the largest and oldest and universities in our city.
Any man or woman having a secondary education and working at some enterprise of our industry may enter our University.
I entered it last year. Now I am in my second year. I study at the radio Information and Electronics faculty. The faculty trains radio engineers of all specialties.
A friend of mine is also a student. He is a full-time student in the day time. He doesn’t work. He gets a state grant.
We study in the evening three times a week. Our lectures begin at 6 and end at 9.30. Every evening we have two lectures. The break between the lectures lasts ten minutes. Attendance at our University is voluntary. Yet, as most of our students, I attend all the lectures and classes.
The students who attend the lectures usually pass their examinations more successfully. They get good and excellent marks and seldom fail.
There are many laboratories where all the students make various experiments and carry on research work. Many teachers and professors deliver lectures and hold seminars on different subjects such as: physics, mathematics, chemistry, foreign languages and many others.
For the convenience of the non-Kurak students living and working far from our University there are several branches of it in different cities. There the students also have lectures, classes, consultations and take their examinations.
My favourite subject is physics. The lectures on this subject are delivered by Professor Ivanov. His lectures are always very interesting. I never miss them.
The students are taught one of the following foreign languages: English, French or German. I study English. At our lessons we read, translate and speak English.
The academic year starts on the first of September and ends on the first of July. It is divided into two terms. At the end of each term the students take their tests and examinations.
At the beginning of the term non-Kursk students get all the teaching material and different kinds of test-papers in the subjects by mail. They do the test-papers in written form and send them to the University for marking.

A New Scholar

A Californian gold-digger had become very rich and could afford to buy whatever he liked. Among other things he wanted his friend, an educated man, to supply him with a library of books. His friend did as he had been asked and soon got a letter of thanks. The ex-gold-digger wrote, I am much obliged to you for your kindness. I am greatly pleased with your selection. I particularly admire a long religious poem about paradise by a Mr. Milton and a set of plays (delightful ones) by a Mr. Shakespeare. Should any of them publish anything else, I hope you would send me a copy of each.
