Our University
I left school in June and began to prepare for my entrance exams to the University. As both my mother and father are teachers I have made up my mind to be a teacher too. I think teaching is a noble profession.
I had to take four exams and passed all of them with excellent marks. So I'm glad to tell you that now I'm a first-year student at the Moscow State Teacher Training University.
I should like to show you the main building of our University. I can't help admiring this fine old building with its beautiful columns. The first students entered it more than 120 years ago.
It goes without saying we, students, are very proud of this fact.
There are 18 faculties at our University which train teachers in many subjects: Russian, Literature, Mathematics, Physics, Geography, Chemistry, Biology, Foreign languages and others. Many well-known professors teach at our University.
We have good libraries and reading-rooms and for those who go in for sports there are good gymnasiums and a stadium.
At present we have quite a lot of work as we have English practice, Grammar and Phonetics, Linguistics, History of our native land and other subjects. There is an English speaking club at our faculty. It gives us a good opportunity to master the language, but I don't take part in it yet. I'm working hard at my pronunciation. There is a good language laboratory at our faculty, where we work with cassette-recorders. It helps us to find out our mistakes and to get rid of them in the shortest possible time.
So that's the latest news about me. Please write me about your life and studies.
