The course of study at my University lasts five years. There are many faculties at my University. Here are some of them: the faculty of banking and finance and, the faculty of management, the faculty of business law and the faculty of accounting.

Our University is large and we have several buildings. One of the buildings is for lectures and seminars only. There are many large halls there so that students of 3-4 groups together can fit in there. And that is more than 100 people. The acoustics in such large halls is very good but sometimes it is very noisy when students chat during the lecture.

We have two other buildings for library, computer centre, gym, and other facilities. Many students from my group want to do their own research work in the future and these facilities will certainly help them.

There are several cafes at the University. My favourite one is situated in a separate one-storeyed building and people say that this is the oldest canteen or student’s café. The food there is tasty and very affordable.

There are also several dormitories or hostel buildings where students from other cities countries live. I don’t live in a dormitory – I rent an apartment.

As I have already told you, my father works at the bank. He makes good money, but I never wanted to have a job like his. I think it is so boring and unhealthy to sit all day at the desk. It takes so much of nerves, because it is a great responsibility to work with large amounts of money. Especially when this money is not yours and belongs to thousands of other people. Sometimes my father spends a whole night at work, preparing his reports.

But anyway, I want to talk about my plans for future and not about my father. 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 of the opportunities for this is to work for a foreign enterprise in Russia or to work abroad for a big national company. You also travel much if you work for the travel agency. It is logical. And, as far as I know, this kind of job is well paid! Of course, it is quite difficult to qualify for such a job. You need a very good educational level and a good command of spoken and written foreign language, computer skills, and, finally, some experience. Like I said before, my school gives very good background knowledge of subject. But this knowledge is too general! Most graduates are only theoretically prepared for work. We don’t have many practical courses. The only opportunity is to work somewhere is during the summer vacation. But of course one wants to rest a little after a whole year of studies and a hard exam session. But that is the only opportunity, in my opinion, to gain the practical knowledge of the subject.

Secondly, I think that it is quite impossible to have a sufficient level of English after finishing the secondary school. The professors and instructors of English at my university are great, but two or four hours a week is not enough. Especially when teachers are so tired at the end of the day and groups are so large. It is necessary to have classes outside the University. One more factor which really helps to have a good command of English is the communication with native speakers. And, of course, reading books in English helps a lot. It is especially useful to read books on economics, business, marketing and management in the original. When one knows the special vocabulary of the industry it will be much easier to communicate with your colleagues from other countries. As you know, English is world recognized as an international business language. But, of course, English only is not enough. There are still countries and people who prefer to use their native language. And how many businesses in your city have English – speaking staff? It is the same in many European countries.

But even if I do not find this job I don’t think I’ll be unemployed. Firms need specialists in finance, management and marketing. Employers need young and energetic employees. There is no legal enterprise which wants to hire lazy employees who have no computer skills and drink tea 15 times a day. I am sure that our time will come and in five years things will be better.

See you in September!

The Secretary’s office at the Society for European Research. There is a knock at the door.

Secretary: Come in! (A young woman enters, rather formally dressed, smiling to cover her nervousness.) Julia Hills, isn’t it?

Julia: Yes that’s right.

S: Do sit down, Julia. Now – you’re 21, you’re just finishing at the university of Kent. Your professor thinks you ought to get a good degree- an upper second, probably in history and politics. What made you choose politics?

J: I thought I’d like to learn something about systems of government in other countries.

S: Now you’ve applied to work with us as a junior researcher: suppose you tell me a bit more about yourself?

J (rather taken aback): What sort of thing?

S: Anything you like – tastes, ambitions?

J: Well, I wanted to go into journalism really, but it seems terribly difficult to get it.

S: have you tried for anything else?

J: Well, I didn’t want to teach, but I have put in for the Civil Service.

S: So do you think you’d like working in an office?

J: I did do three weeks as a temp in my Easter vac – just filling that sort of thing. But I want to use my university subject really.

S: Do you think you mind routine work, like reading foreign papers for us every day?

J: I should love it.

S: And you wouldn’t mind being just a back - room girl?

J: I don’t think so. I like making digests. I did a little for my prof. last vac.

S: Good, good. Now isn’t there anything you’d like to ask me?

J (nervously): You said “good salary” in the advertisement, but you didn’t actually said how much.

S: We were thinking of $800 as the rate for the first three months, and then if everything was satisfactory we’d raise it to $1,000 after that?

J (rather surprised at her own boldness): I suppose you couldn’t make it $1,000 for a start and $1,100 afterwards?
