LESSON 8

HIGHER EDUCATION IN AMERICA

VI. Give a short summery of the text.

VII. Read and translate the text В:

American education is more practical and less “academic “ or abstract than British. The higher education is provided by colleges and universities. The main difference between them is that a university is a collection of colleges each of which specializes in a different field. There are no very strict entrance examinations to most colleges and the general standard of attainment is not as high as in Britain. The four-year college course leads to a Bachelor’s degree.

The tuition fee in American colleges and universities is also very high and most students must have some part-time work during the school-year to pay their way through college.

The words “sophomore” and “freshman” classify students. A student is called a freshman in his first year, and in the next three years he is called a sophomore, junior, and senior.

After completing the four- year college course and graduating as a Bachelor one can proceed to research or to a professional “university” course and seek a Master’s or Doctor’s degree.
