A LETTER TO A FRIEND

Dear Victor,

I’m writing this e-mail message to you from Moscow. You remember I told you I wanted to become an economist. Now I’m a University student! In July I took entrance exams to Moscow State University. The exams were rather difficult and there were a lot of applicants but I passed all the exams well enough. I was admitted to the university as a first-year student. I still don’t believe it.

Our University was founded as the first institute to train personnel for work in the economy of the country. Here there are many students from other countries. After graduating from the University they go back to work in their countries.

The University is headed by the Rector. There are also several pro-rectors and Heads of chairs. The faculties are headed by Deans.

The University has many faculties. Among them there arc the Faculty of International Economic Relations, the Faculty of Business and Management, and the Faculty of Economy at enterprises. I am a student of the Faculty of International Economic Relations. I’m going to study economics, finance and commerce.

There are twenty five students in my group. Some students live in Moscow and others come from all over the world. Many students in my class come from Moscow. One boy is from Rostov-na-Donu. 'There is a girl from the Ukraine and a boy from India. I have already got acquainted with many of my fellow students.

Our classes begin at 8:20 o’clock in the morning. After two classes there is a forty five minutes break for lunch. I usually have lunch at the University canteen, but some of my fellow-students go to one of the several buffets.

After classes I often go to the library or to the multimedia laboratory. The University library has a big collection of books on different subjects. There are also two large reading rooms with a number of PCs. The language laboratory is situated on the second floor. It oilers teaching programs for students learning English, French, and German. Each computer there has an access to the World Web.

The University has a large campus. There are three hostels Гое students, a sports centre with a swimming pool and a football Stadium, a Palace of Culture. Our students can go in for different sports. I play basketball twice a week and gu swimming. But 1 don’t have enough time for everything because there is a lot of homework to do every day. Nevertheless, I like my studies here.

If you answer me I'm going to mail you another message tomorrow. Mail me a letter as soon as possible. I’m looking forward to it.

Yours, Nick.
