LETTERS FROM COLLEGE
Dear John,
I meant to write you at once, but it took me rather long to get used to College life. College is a very big place and at first I got lost almost every time I left my room. Things are much easier now and I hope you’ll look me up some day and let me walk you about. You won’t be disappointed, I promise. Oh, I’m good at showing people about. I’ll say something like this: Our college was founded over two hundred years ago. On your right is the Library which was built about the same year the college was founded. (So you can easily imagine how it looks and smells inside!).The building on your left, which rather reminds me of Tudor Romanesque next to it is the new infirmary and so forth.
The trouble with College is that they expect you to know such a lot of things you’ve never learnt. To be quite honest, I never knew I was so much behind the others. It’ll take me months of real hard work to catch up with the fellows!
I made an awful mistake the very first day. Somebody mentioned Maurice Maeterlinck, and I asked if he was a Freshman. That joke has gone all over College.
Did ever you hear of Michelangelo? I didn’t until the last week. He was a famous artist who lived in Italy in Middle Ages. Everybody in English knew about him and the whole class laughed because I thought he was an archangel. He sounds like an archangel, doesn’t he? Now I know better. When people start talking about things I never heard of, I just keep quiet and look them up in the encyclopedia.

We’ve been studying hard all through the term. Now that the exams have started, it’s got worse. I’ve learned fifty-seven French irregular verbs in the past four days – I’m only hoping they’ll stay till after examinations.
The fellows have been telling me that some of the boys sell their textbooks when they’re through with them, but I’m going to keep mine. Then, after I’ve graduated, I’ll have my whole education in the bookcase. It’ll be so much easier than if I try to keep it in my head.
Now, more news coming, if you are still interested. They’ve organized a Freshman basketball team and I hope I’ll be good enough to take part in it. It’s great fun and then, the doctor says I need more exercise.
That was all good news. Now for bad news. You know what happened? I failed mathematics. It wasn’t really my fault, it was just bad luck. I’ll be taking another exam next month. I’ll do my best to pass, but be ready for the worst and don’t say I didn’t warn you. As for me, I’m taking it easy, because I’ve learned such a lot of things not mentioned in the catalogue.
That’s all now. Hoping to hear from you soon, Dan.
P.S. Speaking of classics, have you read ‘Hamlet’? If you haven’t, do so at once. It’s perfectly splendid. I’ve been hearing about Shakespeare all my life, but I had no idea he really wrote so well.
1. What lesson did he learn?
2. Why did Dan want to keep his textbooks after he graduated from college?
3. What sports team was he going to join, and why?
4. What was the bad news?
5. Why wasn’t he upset over his failure in mathematics?
6. What made Dan change his mind about Shakespeare?
| 1 | The main lesson Dan learned is, when people start talking about things he never heard of, just keep quiet and look them up in the encyclopedia. |
| 2 | Dan wanted to keep his textbooks after he graduated from college because having whole education in the bookcase will be so much easier than trying to keep it in his head |
| 3 | Dan is going to join a Freshman basketball team because it’s great fun and the doctor says he need more exercise. |
| 4 | The bad new was Dan’s failure in mathematics |
| 5 | He is not upset over his failure in mathematics because he thinks that it wasn’t really his fault, it was just bad luck. And he will be taking another exam next month. |
| 6 | Shakespeare’s ‘Hamlet’ made Dan change his mind about Shakespeare. |

OXBRIDGE
Oxford and Cambridge are the oldest and most prestigious universities in Great Britain. They are often called collectively Oxbridge.
Both universities are independent. The normal length of degree course is three years. Some courses, such as languages or medicine, may be one or two years longer. The students may work for other degrees as well. The degrees are awarded at public degree ceremonies. Oxford and Cambridge cling to their traditions, such as the use of Latin at degree ceremonies. Full academic dress is worn at examinations.
Oxford and Cambridge Universities consist of a number of colleges. Each college is different, but in many ways they are alike. Each college has its name and its coat of arms. Each college is governed by a Master. The larger ones have more than 400 members, the smallest colleges have less than 30. Each college offers teaching in a wide range of subjects. Within the college one will normally find a chapel, a dining hall, a library, rooms for undergraduates, fellows and the Master, and also rooms for teaching purposes.
Oxford is one of the oldest universities in Europe. It is the second largest in Britain, after London. The town of Oxford is first mentioned in the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle in 911 AD and it was popular with the early English kings (Richard Coeur de Lion was probably here). The university’s earliest charter is dated back to 1213.
There are now more than thirty colleges where men and women are educated together, many from overseas studying for higher degrees. Among the oldest colleges are University College, All Souls and Christ Church.
The local car industry in East Oxford gives an important addition to the city’s outlook. There’s a great deal of bicycle traffic both in Oxford and Cambridge.
ОКСБРИДЖ.
Оксфорд и Кембридж - старейшие и самые престижные университеты в Великобритании. Их часто называют вместе Оксбридж.
Оба университета являются независимыми. Нормальная продолжительность курса на получение степени составляет три года. Некоторые курсы, такие как языки или медицина, могут быть на один или два года дольше. Также студенты могут работать на другие степени. Степени присуждаются на общественных церемониях награждения. Оксфорд и Кембридж цепляются за свои традиции, такие как использование латыни на церемониях награждения степенью. Полную академическую форму носят на экзаменах.
Оксфордский и Кембриджский университеты состоят из множества колледжей. Каждый колледж по-своему отличается, но во многом они схожи. У каждого колледжа есть свое имя и свой герб. Каждым колледжем управляет Председатель. У больших есть больше чем 400 студентов, у самых маленьких колледжей есть меньше чем 30. Каждый колледж предлагает преподавание широкого диапазона предметов. В колледже обычно можете найти часовню, столовую, библиотеку, комнаты для студентов, товарищей и Председателя, и также комнат в обучающих целях.
Оксфорд - один из самых старых университетов в Европе. Это второй по величине (университет) в Великобритании после Лондона. Город Оксфорд впервые упомянут в англосаксонской хронике в 911 н. э., и он был популярен у ранних английских королей (Ричард Львиное Сердце вероятно был здесь). Самый ранний чартер университета датирован 1213.
Теперь здесь есть более тридцати колледжей, где мужчины и женщины получают образование вместе, много иностранных учащихся получают здесь более высокую степень. Среди самых старых колледжей Университетский Колледж, Церковь Всех Душ и Христа.
Местная автомобильная промышленность в Восточном Оксфорде вносит важное дополнение к перспективе города. И в Оксфорде, и в Кембридже развито велосипедное движение.
