My Study

I care for teaching that's why I entered Chuvash State Pedagogical University. It’s the oldest higher educational establishment in our republic. Some of our students live at the hostel, others rent rooms or live with their parents. For some students education is free of charge. Others have to pay for their studies.

I study at the faculty of Russian Philology. The course of study lasts five years. There are two terms in the academic year. At the end of each term we take credit tests and examinations. We learn a lot of subjects. Some of them are very difficult. Every day we have one or two lectures and practical classes. I try not to miss lectures and always take notes of them. Usually the exam questions are very detailed and I have to read much.

The British Isles are separated from the European continent by the North Sea and the English Channel. The western coast of Great Britain is washed by the Atlantic Ocean and the Irish Sea.

The island of Great Britain consists of three parts: England (the southern and middle part of the island), Wales (a mountain peninsula in the west) and Scotland (the northern part of the island).

The population of the United Kingdom is about 60.5 million people. English is not the only language which people use in the UK. English is the official language. But some people speak Gaelic in western Scotland, Welsh – in parts of northern and central Wales.

There are no high mountains in Great Britain. In the north the Cheviots separate England from Scotland, the Pennines stretch down North England along its middle, the Cambrian mountains occupy the greater part of Wales and the Highlands of Scotland are the tallest of the British mountains. The highest mountain is Ben Nevis, in Scotland (4,406 ft)

Most of the rivers flow into the North Sea. The Thames is the deepest river while the Severn is the longest one. The British greatest ports are situated in the estuaries of the Thames, Mersey, Trent, Tyne, Clyde and Bristol Avon.

Great Britain is not very rich in mineral resources, it has some deposits of coal and iron ore and vast deposits of oil and gas that were discovered in the North Sea.

thirty-five minute lunch break and use it for having meals in our canteen. After classes I go to the library to read and take books, to look through some new magazines and newspapers.

My favourite subjects are Russian Literature and Pedagogy. They are very important for my future work. We learn foreign languages, too.

We have a lot of homework and it takes me several hours to do it. I sometimes have to sit up to write a composition, to make a report, to translate an article from English into Russian or to learn a poem by heart.

I think that you grow as a person when you do other creative things in addition to your studies, so I take part in the social life of the University which is well-organized. I like to be rather busy than lazy. I am sure that thanks to the high level of education and up-to-date educational facilities our students will become highly skilled specialists.
