Murder of Roger Ackroyd” (1926), which brought her fame. In the same year she

disappeared from her home. She was finally found in Yorkshire, suffering from

amnesia. She wrote many books, some of which were made into plays, for example

“And Then There were None”, published in 1940, and some of which were made

into films, for example “Murder on the Orient Express”. In 1928 she divorced her

husband and two years later she married the eminent archeologist Max Mallowan.

She accompanied him on some of his expeditions abroad and one or two of her

books were based on these experiences. Her most famous character is Hercule

Poirot, the little Belgian detective. She died, at the age of 86, in 1976.

Text. HIGHER EDUCATION IN GREAT BRITAIN

1. Most big cities in Britain have both a university and a college of higher

education. There are 97 universities and 47 colleges of higher education. Univer-

sities offer three-and four-year degree courses.

A degree is a qualification you get from university when you pass final

exams. Students get a BA (Bachelor of Arts), BSc (Bachelor of Science), or BED

(Bachelor of Education). Most degree courses last three years, languages – 4 years

(including a year spent abroad). Medicine and dentistry courses are longer (5–7 years).

2. An academic year consists of three terms. Undergraduates –students

who are studying for degrees – go to large, formal lectures. But most of the work

takes place in tutorials: lessons in group of ten or more when the students discuss

their work with the lecturer.

IGHER EDUCATION

Part 1. HIGHER EDUCATION

N GREAT BRITAIN

3. Until 1998 students did not have to pay for education at university.

Now they must pay about 1 000 pounds a year as a tuition fee. They also need

money to live away from home. Many students live in halls of residence or shared

flats. Some students whose parents do not earn a lot of money get a grant from the

local education authority. The grant helps them to pay for books, accommodation,

transport and food. In fact, the grant is not large enough, and students often work

during the holidays to earn more money. It students do not get a grant, parents pay

for their children. Some students borrow money from the bank which must be paid

back after they graduate from university.

4. Most students graduate at 21 or 22 and are given their degree at a

special graduation ceremony.

Text. ТИПОВА АНГЛІЙСЬКА ОБЩАГА

Ми відвідали типовий гуртожиток Лестерського університету. Це

двоповерховий котедж, розміщений у парковій зоні. Біля входу я запитав

Стюарда, студента-старшокурсника: “А якщо ви приходите після 12-ї години

ночі, що тоді?” Стюард, який є головою студентської ради, показав мені

маленький ключик від вхідних дверей! Кожний студент має такий ключ.

На

першому поверсі гуртожитку живуть хлопці, на другому –

дівчата. Дисципліну і порядок контролюють самі студенти. Ричард, студент-

політолог, запрошує нас у кімнату. У кімнаті він живе один. Але є у

гуртожитку і “дабл-рум” – кімната для двох. Це як кому подобається.

Про оплату за проживання у комфортабельному гуртожитку. За

одномісну кімнату

Ричард повинен платити 1 600 фунтів на рік. За нашими

мірками, це багато. Але за Роберта платить муніципальна влада, яка напра-

вила хлопця в університет. Кімната на двох коштує на 200 фунтів більше.

Оплата відбувається по семестрах – восени, навесні та влітку. Влітку сту-

денти платять на 100 фунтів менше, ніж восени та навесні.

Оплата

за гуртожиток включає користування всіма побутовими послу-

гами, а також дворазове харчування у будні дні та триразове – у вихідні дні.

Я б хотів описати десерт для студентів у суботу: традиційний яблучний пу-

динг, банани, виноград та груші. Замість пудингу студенти могли взяти морозиво.

Чистоту в їдальні та гуртожитках підтримує обслуговуючий персо

нал, в основному немолоді жінки. Вони чистять паласи, миють вікна,

прибирають у кухнях та перуть білизну.

Що стосується розваг, то студенти мають читальні зали, футбольні

поля та тенісні корти, свій клуб з баром, а також танцювальний зал.

(з газети “Комсомольська Правда в Україні”)

Notes:

Лестер – Leicester

room for one person = single room

room for two people = double room

муніципальна влада – municipal authorities

дворазове харчування – two meals a day

Text. OXBRIDGE

Oxford and Cambridge universities are the oldest and most prestigious in

Great Britain. They are often called collectively Oxbridge.

The degree course lasts 3 years, after which the students get the degree of

Bachelor of Arts. Some courses such as languages or medicine may be one or two

years longer. The students may study for other degrees as well. The degrees are

awarded at public ceremonies. Oxford and Cambridge keep their traditions, such as

the use of Latin at degree ceremonies.

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, its

coat of arms. Within a college there is a dining hall, a library, a chapel, rooms for

undergraduates and fellows.

Part 3. TEXTS FOR ADDITIONAL READING

Oxford is one of the oldest universities in Britain, after London. There are

now 24 colleges for men, 5 for women and other five for both men and women,

many of them are overseas students.

Cambridge University started in the 13 th century. The oldest college is

Peterhouse which was founded in 1284. The University was only for men until

1871, when the first women’s college was opened. In the 1970s most colleges

opened their doors to both men and women.

Many great men studied at Cambridge, among them Erasmus, the great

Dutch scholar, Roger Bacon, the philosopher, Newton, the great scientist, and

Kapitza, the famous Russian physicist.

The universities have over a hundred societies and clubs. Sport is part of

students’ life at Oxbridge. The most popular sport is rowing.

Text. TRUTH IS ALWAYS STRANGE, STRANGER THAN FICTION!

(abridged)

I would like to tell you a story about my uncle Theo. He’s my oldest

uncle, a tall, thin, grey-haired man whose thoughts were always on learning and

nothing else. He’s quiet and gentle and absent-minded and with about as much

sense as a child where money is concerned.

Well, he applied for a post in Camford University. It was a very good post

and there were hundreds of candidates who applied for it, and about fifteen,
