My Studies

I study at a technical University. I have chosen to pursue a degree in electric power engineering. I am a first year student. In 5 years when I graduate from the University I shall be able to work as an engineer at a plant, a factory, or an office.

The academic year begins, as a rule, on the 1st of September and ends in June. It lasts ten months: September, October, November, December, January, February, March, April, May and June. The academic year has two terms: the autumn term and the spring term. The autumn term begins in September and ends in December. It lasts about four months. The spring term begins in February and ends in May.

During a term we attend lectures, have seminars, classes and consultations on different subjects such as higher mathematics, technol­ogy and strength of materials, drawing, designing and many other subjects. Among these classes we also study foreign language and participate in physical training. A student should not miss any lec­tures or seminars so as not to lag behind his group mates.

Each term ends with final exams. The examinations take place in January and in June. I think one must work very hard to pass all the exams successfully. Some students if they are given permission will take them in advance. When the examinations are over, we have our summer and winter breaks. Some students who failed a test may have extra classes. They must retake exams before the deadline passes so as not to be expelled.

We have two breaks a year – winter break and summer break. The summer break is longer, it lasts two months. In the winter it is much shorter. They last only two weeks. It’s time for us to rest from studying. There are many ways in which we can spend our spare time. Some of us go to the country, others stay in town. During the break we go to the cinemas and theatres. We play sports. We spend a lot of time outside. Those students who do not live at home are able to go and see their parents. They leave for their native towns and villages.
