I study at an art (technical) Institute. The academic year begins, as a
rule, on the 1st of September and ends in June. It lasts ten months:
September, October, November, December, January, February, March, April,
May and June. The academic year has two terms: the autumn term and the
spring term. The autumn term begins in September and ends in December. It
lasts about four months. The spring term begins on the 7th of February and
ends in May. This term is short. It lasts only three months. Each term ends
with examinations which take place in January and in June. During the
academic year students work hard. As a rule they are very busy and have a lot
of work to do.
We have two holidays a year: winter holidays and summer holidays.
The summer holidays are long. They last two months. The winter holidays
are short. They last only two weeks. During the holidays we do not study, we
have a rest. We go to the Institute every day except Sunday. On week-days
we work hard. On Sunday we have a rest, as a rule. Classes at our Institute
begin at nine o'clock in the morning and end at half past three in the
afternoon.
All students learn some foreign language – English, German or French.
We learn English. We have two English classes a week, on Tuesdays and on
Fridays. On Tuesday we have our English class in the morning, on Friday in
the afternoon. When the teacher comes into the room we stand up and greet
the teacher. We say: "Good morning" if it is morning. We say: "Good
afternoon" if it is afternoon. We say: "Good evening" if it is evening.
Then we sit down and our lesson begins. We check our homework. We
ask and answer questions, we read English texts and translate sentences from
Russian into English, or from English into Russian. We describe pictures and
speak on various topics. During the English class we do a lot of exercises, we
speak, read and write English. We do not speak Russian in class. We speak
Russian before and after classes.
As I want to learn to speak and to read English, I am very attentive in
class and I always prepare my homework. English is not difficult for me
because I work at it regularly. As I live in the hostel, I always prepare my
lessons together with a friend of mine. We learn new words and do exercises.
We ask each other questions and answer them. We also listen to the recorded
tapes in the English language laboratory of our Institute. We are fond of
English and we want to master it, that's why we never miss classes and work
hard.
At the end of each class the teacher gives us our homework. She says:
"The homework for your next English class is to read the new text, to learn
the new words and to prepare the topic 'My Institute'. I also want you to listen
to the tape in our laboratory. This time take Laboratory Work Eight, please.
Our next English class is on Friday at twenty minutes to twelve. Don't be late.
Good-bye."
