Topic 9. TRAVELLING
Nowadays travellingabroad is very popular. Some people prefer to travel by plane, especially businessmen, because it's the fastest means of transportation. Those who are not short of time usually travel by train or by ship. It takes more time but gives the opportunity to see the country you travel through, its picturesque landscapes and nature.
While travelling abroad you have to go through customs, sometimes several times.
As a rule the customs officers check your passports and visas if they are required. When coming to some countries you may need a health certificate or a certificate of vaccination. If you have anything to declare, then you are to fill in the declaration form.
The customs officers may ask you to show your luggage to them. Usually articles for personal use and wear and also used items and gifts are not liable to duty anywhere. If you are carrying much currency you should also declare it. If you are carrying weapons you need a permit. Although some items are liable to duty, if you carry only a small amount of them, they are duty free.
Occasionally the customs officers may take some of your things for a more detailed inspection but usually they return them soon.
Do not try to break the customs rules and regulations because you may have a lot of troubles.

Topic 10. OUR TECHNICAL SCHOOL
My name is Peter Ivanov. In June I left (finished) school and in August passed my exams at the polytechnical school. The level pass to our technical school was 7. I got 4 in Ukrainian and 5 in mathematics. So my level pass was 9. Now I am a full-time first-year student.
Our polytechnical school is not far from our block of flats and can easily get there by bus. It takes me 25 minutes to get to the technical school. Sometimes I go there on foot. And though it takes me an hour, it is healthy to walk.
Our technical schooloccupies two buildings. It runs full-timeand part-time(or evening) departments. There are several departments at our technical school. Our studies begin at 9 o’clock, usually we have six hours (periods) a day. We have a lunch break at 12 o’clock. We have a good canteen and during our lunch period we take meals there. There is a gym (gym hall) on the ground floor. Our library is on the second floor. It contains a lot of textbooks and fiction. It is open from 9 a.m. till 8 p.m. in term-time. There is a large reading hall in our technical school and we often do our homework there. Our classrooms and laboratories are large and light. Our labs have modern equipment.The workshops where we have practical training are on the ground floor.
The academic sessionbegan on the first of September and will end in June. Every day we attend lecturesand have practice.
I do wellbecause I want to become a good specialist. At the end of the term we will take exams and I shall try to pass them successfully.
