College is just the beginning of a lifelong learning journey. With the rapid advancement of technology, changes in economy and society, you must adapt a learning mindset if you want to succeed. The key to lifelong earning is lifelong learning.

As you embark on this path, strive always to be a student. Be open to new ideas and information, and be able to adapt. These are essential skills for the new world of work. Some benefits of becoming a lifelong learner are:

To become a student for life, start by finding out how you learn best. There are three main ways of learning people tend to follow: hearing (auditory learning), seeing (visual learning) and doing (kinesthetic learning). If you are not sure which type you prefer, ask yourself how you like to be given directions. If you are an auditory learner, you prefer to be told how to get somewhere. If you are a visual learner, you prefer to be shown. If you are a kinesthetic learner, you prefer to drive yourself there first. Another important aspect of learning is whether you are left - or right-brain dominant. “Left-brained” people are good with logic, analysis, math, language, writing and reading. “Right-brained” people are good with imagination, colors, graphics, music and rhythm. Of course, we do have the capability to think both ways. When we are able to tap into both sides of our brains, we use our full brain potential.

Many famous people used their “whole” brain. For example, Leonardo da Vinci was an artist and innovator. He sketched helicopters hundreds of years ago because he was fascinated by mechanics. He also used his knowledge of how the human body stands and moves to create extraordinary lifelike paintings.

a)  What are the key skills in the world of work?

b)  What is the main purpose of lifelong learning?

c)  What advice does the author give to students?

d)  What are the main learning styles mentioned in the article?

e)  Are the people able to use the full potential of their brain?

f)  Why is it necessary to be selective while learning?

Задание 1. Read the text and translate it using the dictionary:

At the Paris Exhibition of 1855 aluminium was exhibited for the first time. It was regarded as one of the principal novelties of that year. The new metal was shown as a bar, bearing a very sensational inscrip­tion "Silver from Clay". It was regarded even at that time as the metal of future with great practical possibilities. Scientific and non-scientific press devoted long articles to its description. Special attention was paid to the advantages of aluminium — it is light, it does not rust, and is very strong especially when mixed with other metals.

The first attempts to isolate this metal from its oxide were made by Davy and some years later by Berzelius. But both failed to obtain any satisfactory results. Nearly fifty years had passed before French and German scientists isolated aluminium in 1854. It was isolated by elec­trolysis.

Задание 2. Read the following text, divide it into logical parts and entitle them:

MERCURY IN THE ENVIRONMENT

Mercury is known to be a rare metal. The element is found in trace amounts throughout the lithosphere (rocks and soil), the hydrosphere, the atmosphere and the biosphere (in tissues of plants and animals). In the rocks and soil mercury is found to be measured in fractions of one part per million. In the hydrosphere (the seas and fresh water) it oc­curs only in parts per million. In the atmosphere mercury is present both as vapour and in the form of panicles. It should be noted, howev­er, that under natural conditions the amount of mercury in the atmo­sphere is so small that extremely sensitive methods are required for de­tecting and measuring it. The situation is somewhat different in the biosphere. Plants and animals tend to concentrate mercury. For exam­ple, it has been found that some marine algae contain a concentration of mercury more than 100 times higher than that in the seawater in which they live. Mercury today is used on a substantial scale in chemi­cal industries, it being used in the manufacture of paints and paper as well as in agriculture. The world production of mercury has been found to amount to about 10,000 tons per year. In agriculture mercury in the form of corrosive sublimates (HgCl2) can be used for disinfecting seeds.

Задание 1. Read the text and translate it using the dictionary:

The idea of the biosphere was introduced into science almost a century ago by the Austrian geologist Eduard Suess, who was the first to use the term in a discussion of the various envelopes of the Earth in his book published in 1875. The concept played little part in scientific thought until the publication in 1926 of two lectures by the Russian mineralogist Vladimir Ivanovich Vernadsky. It is essentially Vernadsky's concept that we use today.

The necessity to quite a new approach to the biosphere was real­ized by Vernadsky as early as the mid-forties. According to him man has become a geological and biological factor by far exceeding every­thing that preceded him throughout evolution, the rate of his interven­tion in nature steadily increasing.

Задание 2. Read the text and write an abstract.

Water on the Earth is being recycled continuously in a process known as the hydrologic cycle. The first step of the cycle is the evapo­ration of water in the oceans. Evaporation is the process of water turn­ing into vapour, which then forms clouds in the sky. The second step is the water returning to the Earth in the form of precipitation: either rain, snow, or ice. When the water reaches the Earth's surface, it runs off into the rivers, lakes, and the ocean, where the cycle begins again.

Not all water, however, stays on the surface of the Earth in the hy­drologic cycle. Some of it seeps into the ground through infiltration and collects under the Earth's surface as ground water. This ground water is extremely important to life on the Earth, since 95 percent of the Earth's water is in the oceans and too salty for human beings or plants. Of the five percent on land, only.05 percent is above ground in rivers or lakes. The rest is underground water. This ground water is plentiful and dependable, because it doesn't depend on seasonal rain or snow. It is the major source of water for many cities.

DMITRIY MENDELEYEV

One of the fundamental scientific laws discovered by Mendeleyev - the periodic law of the chemical elements and the periodic system of the elements based on it - is to this day a reliable tool for cognizing and forecasting the properties of substances, their structure and interaction.

While still working on the periodic system Mendeleyev predicted the existence of over ten unknown e lements. The structure of the atom was not clear at the time, so Mendeleyev's foresight could not but inspire admiration.

In 1868 the scientist wrote his famous « Foundations of Chemistry » - the main work of his life. This was a merging of ideas, original conclusion and an example of profound analysis and philosophical reflections and marvelous prophecies far ahead of their time.

There was hardly a field of science, industry or agriculture which the scientist did not delve into. He did research into soil treatment, forestation, irrigation, use of chemical fertilisers, and chemical processing of agricaltural raw materials.
