If you want (1) to become a student at one of the UK (2) universities, you should understand that it’s not all that easy. In the (3) first place it’s a big shock to learn that someone who has (4) completed a course of studies at a Russian school, in most cases cannot (5) go directly to a UK university. Why? Firstly, age (Brits tend to finish school at 18), secondly, the qualifications (6) received on finishing a Russian school are considered of a (7) lower level than the British equivalents so they (8) are not good enough for British universities. So what to do? There is always a way out, try to find it.
-Hello, Mr.Johns.My name is Sarah Dark, I'm a journalist of the Daily News and I would like to interview you. So, you like sports and for how long time do you go in for it? - Hello, Miss Dark, thanks for your question. Yes, I like sports and I started to play basketball when I was 8. I was higher than other kids so it was the best sport for me. - Well, how old are you now? - I'm 30. - So, you have been playing basketball for 22 years. Not bad! Did you always listen to your coaches or learn to play by yourself? - I always try to do everything by myself, but my coaches gave me knowledge and their experience. - And how many awards have you got for your success? - Oh, not so much, just two medals and five first- and second-place cups. But I will do my best to earn more.
