TEXT A
ABOUT MYSELF
This year I left the secondary school. My favorite subjects at school were mathematics and biology but most of all I was interested in animals and their life. That is why I decided to become a vet. On graduation from my secondary school, I took Unified State Examinations in several subjects. I applied the results of my Unified State Examinations in Biology, Russian language and Mathematics to St. Petersburg State Academy of Veterinary Medicine. As my results of the Unified State Examinations in these subjects were high enough, I was admitted to the academy. The academy is a higher medical school that trains specialists for different branches of veterinary medicine. Now I am a first year student and I study at the day department. Besides day department, there is an evening department and a correspondence department at the academy, too. I entered St. Petersburg State Academy of Veterinary Medicine because my dream was to help animals suffering from different diseases.
I am not from St. Petersburg, I am from Petrozavodsk. There is no higher veterinary school in my town, so I came to St. Petersburg to get higher veterinary education. I decided to apply to the academy, as it is one of the best veterinary schools not only in St. Petersburg, but in Russia as well. I do not have any relatives in the city and now I live in a hall of residence. My hall of residence is located in Oleko Dundicha Street. This hall of residence is not very convenient and modern but it has all necessary facilities in it. There are two more students in my room. They are from different towns in Russia. They also came to St. Petersburg to study at the academy. We are rather friendly and always help each other with our home tasks. At the weekends when we have free time we go to the movies or theatres, museums or exhibitions or we just wander along the streets of the city admiring its beauty. I am very happy to be a student of the academy. It is very interesting to study here, though not easy.
