At the English Lesson
We are first-year students of the Civil Defence Academy which is situated not far from Moscow. We study at the faculty for students. The year of its foundation is 2012. The mission of the faculty is to train specialists for the Emergency Situations Ministry
We learn many different subjects. Experienced professors deliver lectures on mathematics, physics, chemistry as well as on history, philosophy, etc. Instructors of the chair of foreign languages teach us English or German.
Our study group consists of fifteen students. We study English. We have English lessons every week. At our English lessons we usually read, write and speak English. Our instructor gives us a lot of language practice. If we make mistakes, the instructor corrects us. After classes we improve our English language skills at the language laboratory.
We are in the language laboratory now. We are having an English lesson. Student Smirnov is writing an English sentence on the whiteboard. Student Titov is answering the instructor's questions. We are listening to him. Some students are reading texts, others are consulting dictionaries. We are working hard at the lesson.
We always work at English much and with a great interest. We want to speak English well because it is an international language. After we graduate from the Academy English will help us carry out our professional missions.
