including Theo, were asked to be interviewed.

Now Camford is a very small town; there is only one hotel in it, and this

was full. Theo shared the room with a man who was a self-confident fellow, called

Adams, about twenty years younger than Theo, with a loud voice, and a laugh that

you could hear all over the hotel. But he was a clever fellow all the same.

As a result of the first interview, the number of the candidates was

reduced to two. Uncle Theo and Adams. The committee decided to make their final

choice after each candidate had given a public lecture in a college lecture-hall.

For three days Uncle Theo never left his room. He worked day and night

at that lecture almost without eating or sleeping. Adams didn’t do any preparation at all.

The day of the lecture arrived. They all went into the lecture-hall and

Theo and Adams took their seats on the platform. Theo discovered, to his horror,

that the typewritten copy of his speech had disappeared! The Dean called Adams

first. With despair in his heart, Theo watched Adams calmly take the stolen speech

out of his pocket and read it. And how well he read it! When Adams finished there

was a great burst of applause. Adams bowed and sat down.

Now it was Theo’s turn. But what could he do? With a burning face he

could only repeat, word for word, in a low dull voice the lecture that Adams had

spoken so eloquently. There was hardly any applause when he sat down.

The Dean and the committee went out to decide who the successful

candidate was, but everyone was sure what their decision would be. Adams leaned

across to Theo and patted him on the back and said smilingly, Hard luck, old

fellow, but after all, only one of us could win.

Then the Dean and committee came back. Gentlemen, the Dean said, the

candidate we have chosen is Mr. Theo Hobdell. Uncle Theo had won! The

audience were completely taken by surprise, and the Dean continued. I think I

ought to tell you how we arrived at that decision. We were all filled with

admiration at the learning and eloquence of Mr. Adams. But you remember, Mr.

Adams read his lecture to us. When Mr. Hobdell’s turn came, he repeated that

speech word by word from memory. Now a fine memory is absolutely necessary

for this post, and what a memory Mr. Hobdell must have! That is why we decided

that Mr. Hobdell was exactly the man we wanted!

Text. WHY MORE STUDENTS ARE LIVING AT HOME

One of the problems facing thousands of students who are preparing to go

to university is the issue where they will live. Traditionally, taking up a place in

halls, lodgings or shared house was regarded as one of the rites for students

seeking independence.

But as financial pressures on students increase, many are considering

living at home. A pilot study of 2 000 students by psychologists at Leeds Univer-

sity has found that students staying at home with their parents are happier than

those living in university halls of residence. Students living in lodgings are the

most dissatisfied.

The latest survey of the National Union of Students show that the average

cost of single university accommodation is now 56 pounds a week, an increase of

4 percent on last year. London is the most expensive city: 77 pounds per week.

Staying at home with parents is cheaper and more comfortable. Oliver

Taylor, 20, who has completed two years at Guildhall University in the City of

London, lives with his parents in Surrey. He says: “At first the thought of living

away from home did not bother me, but as time went on I began to see the

advantages of being at home. Financially it is a big difference. I have to pay 45–50

pounds a week travel costs. But my parents give me some money and I don’t have

any of the expenses of living in a flat or shared house.

“Some of my friends had to take part-time jobs because of money

problems. They always have to pay a lot of gas and electricity bills. I think all

students are rather hard up. Academically, living at home is a great advantage. I

have my own space and peace to work, whereas students in a shared house say it is

hard to concentrate. I am living free in relative luxury, in a warm house where the

fridge is full of food and we never run out of coffee. The disadvantage is social

life. I felt that especially in my first year when everyone was making friends.

I fell a bit lonely as I always have to catch the last train home. Now that I

have made good friends my social life is better and I can crash out at their place if I

want to”.

The latest figures from the Higher Education Statistic Agency show a

40 per cent increase in the number of students living with their parents.

1. How much money do students pay for university accommodation in

London?

2. Who are the happiest and who are the most dissatisfied students as for

their accommodation?

lodgings, according to Oliver Taylor?

Task II. Practice making summary of the text.

First, make up a short plan of the text. Entitle each paragraph or two para-

graphs together, if they are connected logically. For example, the second para-

graph: The results of study at Leeds University. Then make a summary uniting the

plan items into two or three sentences using the phrases: The text is devoted to …; The

main idea of the text is …; The advantage (disadvantage) of living at home is … .

Task III. Read the text about Leicester University once again and

compare these two stories. What are the advantages of living in halls and at

home, what are the disadvantages, according to British students?

Task IV. Make up a dialogue or a polylogue about advantages and

disadvantages of living in dormitory and at home when studying at our

University (or any university in Ukraine). Speak on costs of accommodation,

travel costs, conditions and facilities for study, social life, modern conveniences,
