Однажды в весенне-зелёную пору

Я из дому вышел. Стояла жара.

Гляжу: поднимается медленно в гору

Студент-выпускник и цветов 3 ведра.

    И мне говорит он: инфак я закончил,

 5 лет отсидел, языки изучал.

А хочешь, скажу, как там всё начиналось,

Поверь мне, старик, я ни дня не скучал.

    Прикинь, прихожу я на первую пару,

А мне говорят: открывай шире рот,

Носи каждый день ты с собою зеркало,

А-то без зеркала язык не попрёт.

    И вот мне поставили произношенье,

Скажу я теперь: мы везде победим!

Ребята, какое удовлетворенье,

Когда меня в штатах считают своим!

   Но что было дальше, вам даже не снилось,

Итак, медицина у нас появилась.

Как сделать укол, как накладывать жгут-

Всему научил нас родной институт.

Отныне инфаковцы не пропадут!

    А коль захворает какой Склифосовский,

То надо смотреть на сие философски.

Недаром прослушал я philosophie,

Могу читать лекции о бытии.

    Но это цветочки, а ягодки дале.

Ведь старшие курсы нас предупреждали!

Ан-нет, на методику все мы пришли

И гордо 5 ручек с собой принесли.

    Хотели и красной, и синей писать-

А что написали – не разобрать.

И видно, такая уж наша судьба

Не разгибаться часа полтора.

Here are some car claims. Thier inventive authors didn't lose the sense of humour even after the accident described...

BRITISH EDUCATION

 

     British education enables us to develop the abilities  of

individuals,  for  their  own  benefit and of society as a whole.

Compulsory schooling takes place  between  the  ages  of  5  and

16, but some pupils remain at school for 2 more years  to prepare

for further higher education.  Post-school education is  organized

flexibly, to  provide  a wide range of opportunities for academic

and vacational education and to  continue  studying  throughout

life.

10. How I spent my last summer.

  I think summer is the best season for rest because it is warm,  nature is beautiful and we have great opportunities for rest. Summer is a time of holidays. We can go for walks all day long, watch the clouds, swim, sit down by a river or a lake on fresh, green grass, climb high hills, play different games, ride a bicycle and so on.

  I spent my last  summer holidays at my Granny's. There were a lot of things  to enjoy there. I swam in the sea, lay in the sun and did many other things. Sometimes I made a campfire with my friends at the seaside and cooked potatoes there. It was wonderful. We told anecdotes to each other, and did everything we wanted. I also got used to walking alone in the forest.

  When August was coming to an end, I went on a small voyage by ship. The name of the ship was «Olga Sadovskaya».

  But last summer wasn’t for me only sugar and honey. I was taking final exams in school and entering exams to the university and technical university. So I spent  the biggest part of my summer vacations reading books. Of course, it was not interesting, but I’m glad that I did it because now I’m a student of the best university in Primorye and the whole Far-East.

 

11.My first journey.

  For some people there is nothing so exciting as traveling, and I’m not an exception. And I’m happy that I have traveled a lot and I hope that my first journey wasn’t the last one.

  First I bought a ticket for the plane. Many people think, that nothing can be compared to traveling by air, because it is the most comfortable, and, of course, the quickest way of moving. There is none of the dust and dirt of a railway or car journey, none of the trouble of changing a train for another train or for a steamer. But booking tickets in summer is a problem. The plain fare is quite expensive and not all people can afford it.

  Then I continued my way by train. This kind of transport has also many advantages. With a train you have comfort and speed combined. From  a comfortable corner seat of a railway carriage you have a splendid view of a countryside. If you are hungry you can have a meal in the dinning-car and if the journey is long, one can have a bed in a sleeper.

1. My last day off.

  Yesterday it was Sunday, that’s why my last day off was not long ago and I remember it quite well. I always try to do my best to make my holidays really exciting, because we have only few days in a week for relaxation and rest.

  Yesterday my friends and I agreed to meet at my place. First we watched a very interesting TV show «What? Where? When?». Then we went took a videocassette and watched an outstanding movie «The Independence Day». This is a story about strangers from the other planets that were trying to conquer the whole Earth and about the struggle against them. The movie is full of visual effects and computer graphics that takes your breath and makes you admire the modern technologies in the cinema. I wish our studios and directors made such movies. «The Independence Day» can be added to the genius pieces of modern art – that is my opinion.

  Having watched the film, we decided that it was a time to go outside. The first place we went to was the sports ground. Though it was rather cold, we put on warm clothes and had fun. Almost all day long we played soccer and basketball.

  As for me, I like weekends and holidays, as the majority of other people. And I like telling about my holidays. It’s dull to listen about the ordinary working day, how do you think? Every working day looks like another, but every weekend is different from the other. During the weekend we have an opportunity of enjoying the life and having rest.

 

2. The library of our institute.

  «Library is a temple of  books», -- somebody said. And I fully agree with these wise words. Every person in our country elder than 14 years old, I’m sure, was at least one time in the library. The majority of young people has subscriptions to the libraries they like. The libraries not only give us a vast choice of books, but also offers excellent opportunities of having rest.

  As you know, I study at the Far-Eastern State University, and I’m very proud that its library is thought to be the one of the largest in Primorye and even the whole Far-East.
