Exercise 6: Play the dialogue and make similar one:
Dialogue
I was deliberating the question and reasoned that there are some differences between pharmacy education in Great Britain and that in Russia. Do you know them?
Certainly, I do. But let me chance to collect my mind and I’ll explain the difference.
Yes, please.
Well, first of all there are no entrance exams to institutions providing education in Pharmacy in Great Britain. Universities choose their students after interviews and competition for places at University is fierce.
Oh, that’s interesting. I see some difference. It just crossed my mind that in our country school leavers have to take competitive entrance exams in the three or four subjects except those, who finished school with a gold or silver medal.
Secondly, pharmacy students in Great Britain take a four-year course of study.
I see, and Russian pharmacy students take a five-year course of training.
I’ve thought a little and recognized that a course of practice is also different. The students of the first and the second year can obtain practical pharmaceutical experience during long vacations, but obligatory practical work starts only in the fourth year.
The difference is clear. Pharmacy students in our country have compulsory practical training from the first year of study. Thanks a lot for your information.
