Hey, I am Miranda Tailor. I live in New York. Until I turned five my nanny educated me a little bit.
My parents though it would be great for me to study in a private school so they sent me to the St. Anna Private School in New Jersey. That’s a school for both girls and boys. The school is run by a Catholic Church.
So I studied in this school until I got seventeen. I went home on weekends and holidays, but when I grew older I preferred to spend my holidays at school with my friends. In school I shared a room with a girl named Lora and we became bet friends.
It was very hard for me to decide what college or university to enter. I was good in many subjects – in Mathematics, Physics, Foreign Languages, and Literature and so on. So I entered the Columbia University College and I study on the first course now – I don’t major in any subject for now. During the first year I get the general education and on the next year I will have to decide what specialty I want to study.

III. Read the text “Typical student” and answer the question: What type of student do you consider yourself to belong to? Typical Student
Who are they and how they look? In the streets, in parks, cafes, on discos, everywhere you can see young people standing together and talking about something with great interest. What are they talking about? They talk about studying, music, and clothes and about money, which will finish soon. But in spite of the problem they are never sad. At the same time students walk in town, go to cafes, discos and concerts. Students become friends very fast and forever.
There are some different types of students. One part does nothing but study. Others have time for studying and for things they love to do. Someone likes going in for sport, some are fond of playing computer games, others like singing or dancing and so on. And there are some students who don’t want to study and want to graduate the university with good and excellent marks.
Students wear everything that is comfortable to them. They listen to different types of music. Pop, rock, rap these are only few types they listen to. And all students like sleeping. So they are very different.
Unit 2 lexical material: My future profession
I. Read and translate the text “Choosing a future profession”
Finishing school is the beginning of the independent life for millions of school leavers. Many roads are open between them: vocational and technical schools, institutes and universities. But it is not an easy thing to choose a profession out of more that 2000 existing in the world. Some pupils follow the advice of their parents, others can’t decide even after leaving school. Let’s have a look at what some school leavers think about their future profession.
Masha: I have made my choice long time ago. I want to be a teacher. Teachers do not only teach their subjects. They develop their pupils’ intellect; form their views and characters, their attitudes to life. It’s a great responsibility!
Dima: I want to become a computer programmer. I am interested in computers. I think this profession can give many opportunities. We are living in the age of information. I think our future is just filled with computers.
Ivan: I have already decided what career to choose. I would like to be a psychologist and I want to help people to solve their problems.
Anna: I decided to enter the department of sociology. I understand the difficulties of this profession. But I believe this specialty is really needed and hope that I can help a lot of people.
Max: I like the profession of a journalist. They try to understand what is going on in the world, or the country, or the city and try to explain it to other people. Journalists can influence the history.
