составить небольшой диалог. Ann: Hello, Steve! Have you got a minute?
Steve: Sure, yes. $What can I do for you?$
Ann: I’ve read a number of books on the British system of higher education
but $I can’t make head or tail of it$.
Steve: Mm… no wonder. What’s the problem?
Ann: Quite a lot of problems. What I want to $discuss is the difference
between$ a university and a college.
Steve: It’s like this, you see… The program is different. At a university it
is much wider. $Great attention is paid to$ scientific subjects.
Ann: It sounds as though most people prefer a university.
Steve: Well… that rather depends.
Ann: Speaking about universities I’m not quite clear about tutorial there.
What is a $tutorial$ exactly?
Steve: Oh, it’s when students discuss topics with a tutor in very small groups
– usually there are not more than three or four students and sometimes only
one.
Ann: I see … And coming back to colleges… I’m still not terribly sure what
$residential college$ is.
Steve: Well… It’s a college with a hall of residence on the same ground as
the principal buildings. In fact all the students live in hall.
Ann: Really? And what about the teaching staff?
Steve: Actually the majority of the $teaching staff$ live there too. But there are
also quite a lot of non-residential colleges.
Ann: And did you study at the university?
Steve: Yes…
Ann: What was it like? Beautiful?
Steve: $Nothing very remarkable$. Of course there were lecture halls,
classrooms and a number of laboratories.
Ann: Any facilities for sport and PE?
Steve: Let me see … Yes … A gym with changing rooms and
showers, a tennis court… What else… Playing fields for volleyball,
football and basketball
Ann: Well, Steve. Thank you very much. $You’ve been very helpful$.
