North Caucasus State Technical University

I study at North Caucasus State Technical University (NCSTU) in Sravropol. It was founded in 1971. It was organized to train specialists for many branches of industry. During the last few years our University has become a large center of higher technical education as well as the center for training specialists in economics, law and linguistics. Fundamental research and applied investigations as well as experimental work are being successfully carried out at the University.

At present the university is a well-organized educational complex and research center possessing a wide range of financial and technical resources. NCSTU is actively becoming integrated into the international educational system, participates in international educational projects, and has agreements on cooperation and student exchange with educational and research centers in the USA, Canada, West Europe, South-Eastern Asia and Africa.

These departments are: Civil Engineering Department, Economics and Finance Department, Humanities Department, Information Technologies and Telecommunications Department, Law Department, Department of Electronics, Nanotechnologies and Chemical Industry Department, Department of Foodstuffs Biotechnology, Department of Oil and Gas, Department of Power Engineering, Machine Building and Transport.

There are about 800 teachers in our University.

The University takes pride in its highly qualified scientific and pedagogic staff. Among the NCSTU professors are outstanding scholars, doctors of science, full and associate professors, honored scientists of the RF, honored educationalists, full members of Russian and International Academies of different branches.

Today students must assimilate a large quantity of new information which is increasing every day. Lectures and seminars alternate with laboratory works, discussions, research work and self-training.

The academic year begins in September and lasts 10 months till July. There are 3 terms in the course of the academic year, so the students take examinations three times a year. During the terms students have to attend lectures, carry out laboratory tests and practical training. At lectures students listen to the lecturers, take notes and ask questions. In seminars they raise problems and discuss them under the direction of their teachers.

Students of the first and second years study maths, physics, chemistry, foreign languages, elements of machines, mechanical drawing, strength of materials, history, philosophy, psychology etc. From the third year they start to study special subjects and carry out research works in their student scientific societies. Many students get student grant, the sum of money which depends on their success in studies. There are 3 hostels near the main building and the students from other towns and villages can live there paying a small quantity of money for rent.

University complex comprises different educational institutions, libraries, sports facilities and clubs, cultural center, students theater, medical center.

The students take an active part in public life of our University; they issue wall newspapers, give concerts, take part in different conferences and meetings. Each faculty has its own KVN team and they take part in the University championship gathering full concert hall of grateful audience. Students go in for different kinds of sports.

I think it is worth studying at this University.

Задание 1. Прочитайте и переведите текст:

Great Britain

The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, called for short the United Kingdom or the UK, lies on the Atlantic coast of Western Europe, separated from France by only 34 km (21 miles) of water. The names Great Britain and United Kingdom are now often used informally to mean the same thing. It is made up of three countries, England, Scotland and Wales. The UK refers to the political state that includes the countries of England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland. The capital of the United Kingdom is London, in England. The capital of Wales is Cardiff, and the Scottish capital is at Edinburgh.

Great Britain’s largest island neighbour is Ireland. This is mainly occupied by the independent Republic of Ireland. The remainder is Northern Ireland which is a part of the United Kingdom. Many small islands are also linked with the United Kingdom.

Although a small island, Great Britain has a remarkable variety of landscapes. To the north and west are highlands – the mountains of Scotland, Cambria (the original Roman name for Wales) and Wales, and the Pennine Chain. To the east are flat plains, and in the south are lowlands broken by low ranges of hills. To the Southwest are the bleak moors of Devon and Cornwall.

The continent of Europe extends out below the waters of the Atlantic Ocean, in the form of a continental shelf. Great Britain is perched on this shelf, surrounded by the shallow waters of the North Sea, the Irish Sea and the English Channel.

A warm ocean current, the Gulf Stream, washes Britain’s western shores. This water heats up and cools down very slowly. Britain therefore enjoys warmer winters and cooler summers than other countries at the same latitude. The west of the island has a higher rainfall and slightly milder climate than the east.

Britain has been many centuries in the making. The Romans conquered Britain, but were unable to subdue the independent tribes in the west and the north. Other invaders were Angles, Saxons, Jutes, Vikings and Normans. England waged numerous colonial wars and was the empire for many centuries. England was the first country where capitalism was established.

Great Britain is a highly developed industrial country. It is known as one of the largest producers and exporters of machinery, electronics, textile, aircraft and navigation equipment. One of the chief industries of the country is shipbuilding.

The UK is a constitutional monarchy. The powers of the British Queen are limited by the Parliament. Over time, the sovereign’s powers have been reduced and, though the present Queen is still head of state and Commander-in-chief of the armed forces, she “acts on the advice of her ministers”, and Britain is in practice governed by “Her Majesty’s Government”. The main role of the Queen is as a representative of Britain and the British people. She is a symbol of the unity of the nation beyond party politics. The British Parliament consists of the sovereign, the House of Lords and the House of Commons.
