Exercise 4, Read and smile:

Mary: Professor, I think you can speak several languages.

Professor: Yes, Fd say about five.

M.: French, I think? And German?

P.: No, neither. I read them well, but have never learned to

speak them.

M.: Italian? Chinese?

P.: No, I am afraid not.

M.: You must be kidding me (обманывать, смеяться).

P.: Not at all. First, there is a language we are using now.

Then there is the language I use in the classroom, in my

lectures. Next, there is the speech I use when I go back to

my home town. And I have another that I use with my little

daughter, and still another with my dog. Then there's...

M.: But those are all English.

He was a Rising Star

Max Bom, who later became an outstanding German physicist,

took an exam in astronomy. He was examined by a professor. Here

is their conversation:

Professor: What do you do when you see a falling star?

Bom: I think up of a wish (задумать желание).

P.: Is that all?

В.: Then I take a look at my watch, mark the time and the

constellation (созвездие) from which the star appeared,

determine the direction of its movement and the length of

its path, then go home and calculate the orbit of the star.

The professor asked no more questions. He was satisfied (быть

удовлетворенным).

Cambridge

Cambridge is one of the two main universities of England

which is located at the Cam River. It was founded at the beginning

of the 12th century. The University consists of (состоит из) 24

different colleges including 4 colleges for women. Each college is

self-governing (самоуправляется).

The head of the University is the chancelor who is elected for

life. The teachers are commonly called «dons» and «tutors». Part of

the teaching is by means of lectures organized by the University.

Besides lectures teaching is carried out by tutorial system for which

Cambridge University is famous all over the world. This is a system

of individual tuition (обучения) organized by the colleges.

Each student has a tutor who practically guides him through the

whole course of studies. The tutor plans the student's work and

once a week the student goes to his tutor to discuss his work with

him. The training course lasts 4 years. The academic year is divided

into 3 terms. The students study natural and technical sciences,

law, history, languages, geography and many other subjects.

After three years of study a student may proceed (получить

ученую степень) to a Bachelor's degree, and later to the degrees of

Master and Doctor. Students are required to wear gowns (мантия)

at lectures, in the University library, in the street in the evening, for

dinners in the colleges and for official visits. All the students must

pay for their education, examinations, books, laboratories, university

hostel, the use of libraries, etc. Very few students get grants.

Not many children from the working class families are able to get

higher education, as the cost is high. The cost of education depends

on the college and speciality.

A number of great men, well-known scientists and writers studied

at Cambridge. Among them are: Erasmus, the great Dutch

scholar. Bacon, the philosopher, Milton and Byron, the poets,

Cromwell, the soldier, Newton and Darwin, the scientists.
