The Agrarian University

Our University is staffed by qualified teachers, research assistants and professors. They do extensive academic and research work, give lectures and seminars and hold examinations.
The academic year is divided into two terms: the autumn term and the spring term. Tests and examinations are held twice a year – in January and in June. If a student passes the exams well, he gets a grant. The University works according to the time table. There are lectures, seminars and practical lessons. At the end of the course of studies the students take the state exams and write their diplomas. When graduates pass their examinations and defend their degree projects they are awarded the degrees of an engineer, economist, lawyer, veterinary surgeon, zoo-engineer, agronomist and others.

My Plans for Future
Прочитайте и переведите текст на русский язык:
I want to talk about my plans for future. I would really want to work with people rather than with figures and numbers. I want to travel much and see other places and meet different people. One opportunity for this is to work for a foreign enterprise in Russia or to work abroad for a big company. You also travel much if you work for the travel agency. This kind of job is well paid. Of course, it is quite difficult to qualify for such a job. You need to have a very good educational level and a good command of spoken and written foreign language, computer skills, and finally, some experience.
School gives a very good background knowledge. But this knowledge is too general. Most graduates are prepared for work only theoretically. We didn’t have much practice. The only opportunity to work somewhere is that during the summer vаcation. It is quite impossible to have a good command of English after finishing secondary school. It is necessary to have classes outside the University. It is especially useful to read books on economics, business, marketing and management in the original. When one knows the special vocabulary or terminology it will be much easier to communicate with your colleagues from other countries. The graduates will not be unemployed. Firms need specialists in finance, management, and marketing. Employers need young and energetic employees who have computer skills.
