UNIVERSITY OF
CAMBRIDGE
1. It all started with my French teacher, Mr Morel. In September Mr Morel invited my parents to come and see him and told them that I was predicted to get top grades at my A-levels this year and that he would strongly advise me to apply to Cambridge. My parents were extremely pleased. That evening we had a family discussion. I objected to the idea of applying to Cambridge and insisted on going to our local university, but my parents wanted me to try for Cambridge.
2. Anyway, in the end I told myself that I had nothing to lose and must give it a try. The deadline for Cambridge applications was 15 October, which is much earlier than for most other universities. So nothing could prevent me from applying to another university if I failed to get into Cambridge. Shortly before the deadline for submitting applications to Cambridge, I went on to the UCAS website and applied. Oh, for those who don’t know, UCAS stands for Universities & Colleges Admissions Service. This organisation helps you when you apply to any UK university or college: they accept your application, give you advice and information and keep you up to date with all the latest news.
3. I chose Modern and Medieval Languages as my course, and Trinity as my college. The teachers from my school were happy to support my application and gave me excellent references. Shortly after completing my online application, I was asked to send in some of my old school essays to give my future tutors some examples of my academic work. And soon after that I got an invitation to go up to Cambridge for some interviews. I was really surprised to be invited, because only applicants with realistic chances were interviewed.
4. The interview experience itself was very interesting.
I had three twenty-minute interviews with different teachers from my department. Just the thought that each of them was a leading expert in his or her subject made me nervous, but the moment my first interview started, I knew I would be OK. The interviewers didn’t try to ask me tricky questions.
very often there was no right or wrong answer to their questions at all. They were more interested in how I got to my answer, in my method of thinking and dealing with problems. They encouraged me to argue, disagree and just be myself. After my first interview, I wanted to get into Cambridge more than anything else in my life.
5. I stayed in Cambridge overnight for more interviews and made my first Cambridge friend, Rick. He was a black guy with a strong cockney accent. We happened to share a room and Rick told me his story, “I will always thank Cambridge tutors for showing me that I can change my life. None of my family had ever had any education and most of the kids from my school started to work after doing GCSEs to help their families with money. Three years ago a Cambridge professor came to our school and talked to us about higher education and its advantages. He told us about the possibility of visiting Cambridge and spending a couple of days with students there. He also mentioned that it was possible to get financial help from the University. I got interested and applied for the following year’s Shadowing Scheme. For three days I became a “shadow” of a student studying Maths, the subject that I was interested in. We did everything together: had breakfast, attended lectures, even went to the music club. I was so impressed that I decided to break the family tradition and do A-levels. Getting through A-levels is a huge effort as I’ve got nobody to help. My results may still not be good enough for Cambridge, but I don’t lose hope. There is the Cambridge Special Access Scheme for students like me. This is a special scheme for the applicants who had no chance of getting a good education at school for health, financial, or family reasons. All the examiners are told about applicants with these kinds of problems, and if a student succeeds in impressing them, they may offer him or her a place, even if he or she doesn’t get the highest grades.”
6. That night we didn’t have much time to talk, because Rick was going to sit a Maths exam next morning. I thought I was lucky that there were no exams for my department. In the morning Rick and I wished each other the best of luck and promised to keep in touch. Soon afterwards I heard that I had been offered a conditional place at Cambridge. “Conditional” means that I’ll get a place if I get A grades in all my A-level exams. If I get lower grades, I won’t be accepted. So I just have to work really hard this year. And just yesterday I heard from Rick: he did so well in his exam that he got a place too! I am so much looking forward to seeing him in Cambridge.

16 Unit 1 Lessons 9, 10, 11
COINING А PHRASE
There are a lot of expressions in English which use the names of British coins. Since decimalisation in 1971, some of the coins no longer exist, but the expressions are still alive!
If you take care of the pennies, the pounds will take care of themselves, because if you take care of the small things, the large things will be all right; however, if you are penny wise, pound foolish, you are careful in small matters but wasteful in large ones. When you are in for a penny, you are in for a pound, because once you have started something you should see it through. If somebody doesn’t care two pence, they don’t care at all. If you say that something cost a pretty penny, you mean it cost a lot of money.
MEASURE FOR MEASURE
H
,ave you ever noticed how many expressions in English use different forms of measurement?
If you say that somebody is every inch a gentleman, you mean he is a complete gentleman, but if you say that he won’t budge an inch, you mean that he is being very obstinate about something. A milestone is a very important and significant event. When you inch forward, you move very slowly, and if when you give somebody an inch, they take a mile, then when you give them a little, they take the lot. You cannot get a quart into a pint pot — that is, you cannot pour a measure of liquid into a vessel which holds less than that measure — means you cannot do the impossible, and if you have tons of something, you have a great deal of it. Lastly, if your English is miles better than anybody else’s, it is much, much better!

The University of Oxford and the University of Cambridge are the two oldest universities in Britain, and popular tourist destinations. However, nobody will be able to show a tourist the building of Oxford or Cambridge University. Both universities are just a name for two large groups of colleges situated in the cities of Oxford and Cambridge.
Oxford is about forty years older than Cambridge. There is no exact foundation date, but the university is believed to have been founded around 1167. King Henry 11, got fed up with English students going to Paris to be educated, and so the first English university was created. Cambridge was founded around 1209 by Oxford scholars after a bitter disagreement with local townsmen.
Oxford is uniquely beautiful. Its ancient buildings of honey-coloured stone are world-famous. Among these are Christ Church, which has been a site of religious worship since the seventh century, Tom Tower, built by Sir Christopher
Wren, the Bridge of Sighs which makes everybody who sees it sigh, and many others. The heart of the university is perhaps the great Tudor dining hall at Christ Church College, where Charles 1 held sessions of parliament during the English Civil war, Elizabeth 1 watched a play, and Lewis Carroll thought over his ideas for Alice in Wonderland. This hall is the setting for some of the scenes in the Harry Potter films.
Oxford and Cambridge, informally called Oxbridge, are considered to be equally good. They both take pride in a large number of the world’s most prominent scientists, writers, politicians and British prime ministers, who used to study there. However, there has always been a kind of friendly competition between the two universities, who usually refer to each other as “the other place”. The ultimate outcome of this competition is the Oxford and Cambridge boat race.
The idea came to two friends, who happened to be students at Oxford and Cambridge respectively. On 12 March 1829 Cambridge sent a challenge to Oxford, and the tradition was born, and has continued to the present day. This legendary boat race is considered the world’s oldest sporting challenge, where every year the loser of the previous year’s race challenges the opposition to a re-match.

Coming from Turkey, I had the same problem. There is an easy answer. There are so-called foundation programmes which you can join. You do this programme for about nine months, and after you finish you can apply to practically any UK university.
Be careful choosing the place where you do your programme. The university you apply to, later may not recognise it. Make up your mind about which university you want to go to first, and then ask them what foundation programmes they want.
In our university we have our own foundation course called a Bridging Year. Students doing the Bridging Year are full members of the university, which is cool. Living on campus, you can use the same academic, social and sports facilities as other students.
I did the programme called CFP (College Foundation Programme) in London. It allowed me to choose between a hundred universities. Check their FAQs.
It’s pricey, though. It costs you about £7,500 just in tuition fees. All foundation programmes cost about the same. Try to save on accommodation. You can rent a small flat with other students.

In my time foreign students, studying in the UK, were allowed to work up to 20 hours a week. Check it out! You can use this opportunity to earn a bit of extra cash.
There are no special requirements for a foundation programme. However good grades from your Russian school are important. In some places you’ll be expected to have achieved at least 5.5 in lELTS or 450 in TOEFL or to have successfully passed some other equivalent exam. However, there are places where English will be a part of your programme.
The guy writing that has no idea! You can take an intensive course in English, but that will be a separate programme. You will have to take Maths, Physics, History, Law, Psychology etc all in English, so your English has to be good.
I did a CFP too. FYI The courses usually start in September, so be sure to apply before the end of July. They will need time to arrange for your visa and accommodation.

Are
Abbreviated English
re you ever puzzled by abbreviations and acronyms in English? Well, here are some of the most common ones together with their explanations, to help you understand this strange form of English!
The days of the week and the months of the year are sometimes abbreviated, so you will find Mon / Tues / Wed / Thurs / Fri / Sat / Sun and Jan / Feb / Mar / Apr / May / Jun / Jul / Aug / Sept / Oct / Nov / Dec. When the year is mentioned you may notice AD or BC is used. AD stands for Anno Domini, meaning in the year of the Lord, so that this year is AD 2000. BC means Before Christ, so we can say, for example, that Julius Caesar was born in 101 BC.
The courtesy titles that come in front of people’s names are usually abbreviated forms of longer words. Mr stands for Mister, a weakened form of Master, and Mrs is short for Mistress, meaning a married woman. However, Miss, meaning a single woman, and also deriving from Mistress, is not abbreviated at all.
Nowadays it has been suggested that a woman’s marital status should not be indicated by her name, and the form Ms has been put forward to mean both Miss and Mrs, so it could be said to be short for them both! If you see Dr in front of a person’s name, it means that the person is a Doctor — either an academic or a medical one. Rev is short for Reverend and if a man has that title, it means that he is a clergyman. The letters Esq. stand for Esquire, a polite form of address which may be used after a man’s name instead of putting Mr in front of it. Letters of address which may be used indicating university degrees always come after a person’s name: BA or BSc (Bachelor of Arts or Science), MA or MSc (Master of Arts or Science) and PhD (Doctor of Philosophy).
Names of countries and organisations are sometimes abbreviated: UK stands for the United Kingdom, GB for Great Britain, USA for the United States of America. The BBC is the British Broadcasting Corporation, the EEC is the European Economic Community or the Common Market, and the UNO is the United Nations.
Etc, from et cetera, means the rest, and so on.
Some abbreviations used in business and correspondence are the following: Co., Ltd, no., per cent, p.a., COD, CBD and VAT, ASAP meaning Company, Limited, number, in every hundred (from the Latin per centum), every year (from the Latin per annum). Cash On Delivery, Cash Before Delivery, Value Added Tax (a form of tax on purchased goods and services) ASAP means As Soon As Possible. PTO at the bottom of a page means Please Turn Over, PS at the end of a letter means a note added afterwards (from the Latin post scrip turn), whilst RSVP means please reply. And lOU means what it says — I owe you!
There are some frequently used expressions in English which are derived from Latin — although many English people are not aware of their origins! E.g., from exempli gratia, means for example, i.e., from id est, means that is.
Perhaps one of the best-known abbreviated forms in English is OK, but no one knows exactly how it was derived, though a long-established suggestion is that some semi-literate warehouseman in the past marked his boxes and bales OK, in the mistaken belief that all correct was spelt ol korrect. Anyway today it is an abbreviation without a full form!

Bryan:
Nowadays, more and more students go to study far from home. (_
-)
Some students choose to live off campus. And in my opinion, they are right.
The first huge advantage is that a student living in a private house can choose his or her housemates. Living on campus, a student usually doesn’t have the right to choose his or her flatmate. It all sounds fine in the university leaflets, but in reality living with so many people from
different countries and cultures often causes stress. (_) Everything from eating habits to the
way of socialising and celebrating may lead to misunderstandings, fights and frustration. Do you need all those extra problems when you have to study? (_____)
Students renting their own flats don’t have to follow the strict rules and regulations introduced by the university. They can come home late at night, organise a party in the middle of the week or invite guests to stay for a weekend.
Finally, living off campus with all the bills to pay will make people grow up quicker. (_)

Thank God it is open till 10 o’clock in the evening. Of course, all the books I need are already taken, but there are also copies of all books, that people cannot take out, so I am using them. It is possible to reclaim the books from other readers. Once I ask the library they will write to the person who has the book that I need and

make them return it quicker. However, I do not know if it is going to help me now. I do not have any time to wait. The computer labs are full these days. Students have to wait in long queues until they can use a computer. Everybody is writing essays, everybody looks worried and pale. Netsurfing is strictly prohibited, people need computers for work. I am very lucky to have my own computer in the room. I can’t imagine how people manage to concentrate in the overcrowded labs. The teachers are hardly available for talks now. Their consultation hours are fully booked, so those who did not think about it earlier have to face the music.
Some of my friends get extensions. In other words they go to the lecturers and complain about life, health and stressful relationships. If they are lucky, the teacher will extend the deadline for one or two weeks. Nearly everybody is talking about getting an extension, but most of us are too proud to ask for them.

2. My first class is today, I haven’t met my teachers or my group yet. The first meeting of the Linguistics department is at 9 a.m. in Lecture Building 2. I must be very careful not to miss it, the campus is really big and I still don’t
38 Unit 2 Lessons 7, 8
even know where the Lecture Building is. Of course, I am late, but still in time to find out who my course directors are and how the studies are going to be organised. Our department is quite big and is divided into different groups according to the area of specialisation. My main subject is Sociolinguistics. Sociolinguistics together with Sociolinguistics methods are my compulsory modules. 1 must attend them regularly. Other modules (3 more) I can choose by myself. There are about 70 options to choose from and it is not necessary to make the choice immediately. We are given about two weeks to go, listen to the lectures and decide what we want to be doing for the rest of the term. Next term, however, we can pick up new modules. Once the modules are chosen it is our responsibility to attend them regularly and write assignments on the topics suggested by the teacher. There are also deadlines for handing assignments in. As soon as the secretary gets it she puts the time into her computer. Those who are late lose 2 or 3 points (per cent) per day from their final mark. The work is marked in per cent. So theoretically the highest mark is 100 per cent, but in reality 70-75 per cent is the highest possible result. To be awarded the degree a student should get not less than 60 per cent for each of his assignments. This standard is much lower for the undergraduates though.
1 cannot believe it has been only a month since I came to the University. The campus is my home now. 1 get up and go to the lectures. They are always interesting and informative. The lecturers give us handouts with everything they say during the lecture, so we do not have to waste our time on writing. Instead we can participate and have endless discussions. We already know the topics for our assignments, but nobody has started writing them yet. The teachers do not ask about them either. They are always happy to help, but only if we ask them to. We still have a month before the first deadline, so we are all enjoying ourselves and our local pub called “The Top Bar” is full every evening. We watch films, go to the fitness room and to different parties arranged by the socs. The most recent one was organised by the Mexican soc and was devoted to Halloween. The whole University made costumes and bought masks. It was a great night.
There are also evenings when I am too tired to go out. Then I just stay home. In our flat there are thirteen rooms. In fact it is not a flat, but a floor of a 14-storeyed building, but traditionally it is called “a flat”. We all live in our own rooms, but the kitchen is for everybody to share. We like it this way. It is very big and modern and always full of people, who will listen to you, help you or just treat you to some special food, which you have never tried before. It is a club of our flat with a huge table in the middle, where there is enough room for everybody.
Unit 2 Lessons 7, S 39
Today is a very interesting event which is a part of every new university year. Our University societies (socs) are making a big exhibition so the new students can join the societies they are interested in. To become a member one should pay an entrance fee. In some cases it is just one pound, in other cases it is much more than that. Usually a society member automatically receives ah the news, is invited to lectures, discussions and parties and, moreover, gets a big discount from an entrance fee to the soc’s parties. There are about 50 different societies and each one has a table on the main square. My friends and I are walking around thinking and talking. Some of the socs are not very interesting for us. A Greek soc, a Turkey soc, an Irish soc, a Mexican soc. They are for people who come from these countries. We will come to them later, when they make their parties and invite everybody to listen to their music, try their food and dance with them. To do that it is not necessary to be a member. There are also socs, organised by departments, like a Sociology soc, a Computer soc, a Law soc. They are not very popular either. We attend classes апзпл^ау! So most of the students are attacking a couple of tables which belong to the Film soc (an absolute winner) and a Fitness soc. It is quite expensive to join them, but it is worth it. A film society for example shows three films every week so a member can watch them nearly for free when all other students have to pay 3 pounds for each movie. The Fitness soc gives you a free annual entry to the University fitness room. So we become the members of these socs.
5. Today is my graduation day, my last day in Essex. Everything — assignments, exams, long nights in the pubs is now in the past. I have already forgotten how hard I had to work for this day, I just feel sad as my student days are through. My friends and I are going to attend a Congregation where the title of Master of Arts (MA) is going to be confirmed on me. At the moment I am trying on my gown and a student’s cap. The gown is black, loose and long and has a big hood with a white and red lining. It looks quite medieval, which is not surprising — the tradition to wear these clothes in universities is quite ancient. Students of Oxbridge as we call them still have to wear their gowns for exams, but in other universities gowns are worn only for special occasions. And Congregation is the most important one, the result of years of study. Ten minutes later I am already sitting in the Great Hall. It is beautifully decorated and on the main wall there is written the motto of the University of Essex “Thought The Harder — Heart The Keener”.
The University hymn is being played and Professors and Doctors of the University are entering the Hall. The last one to enter is the Lord Chancellor. He is wearing a red gown and a cap. He greets the graduates and their parents and friends and calls out our names one after another.
When my turn comes I am half — dead with excitement and cannot remember what to do, though before the ceremony I carefully read the instructions. Finally I approach the Lord Chancellor, he congratulates me, we shake hands and I receive my diploma.

6. “Merry Xmas, baby,” I sing on as I am listening to the music and packing my suitcases. I did it! I have written all my essays and handed them on time! I am going to spend my winter holiday with my old friends in Tunbridge Wells. I haven’t seen them since that sad moment in October when they brought me to campus. It will be sad to say goodbye to my fellow-students for a month, but nearly everybody is going anyway. The campus looks grey and empty. Bye! My taxi has arrived!

Read the text and match the pictures with the expressions.
a) to pay through the nose
b) to be under someone’s thumb
c) to have a sweet tooth
d) to be all ears
e) to pick someone’s brains
f) to keep stiff upper lip
g) to have a finger in every pie
J—inglish has many colloquial expressions to do with the body — from head to toe! Here are some of the commonest ones.
To keep your head is to remain calm, but to lose it is to panic and do something foolish. If something is above or over your head, it is too difficult for you to understand.
If you have something on the brain, you can’t forget it, and if you pick someone’s brains, you talk a problem over with them to see if they have any good ideas.
To pay through the nose is to pay a very high price for something, but if you turn up your nose at something you despise it. If you’re all ears, you listen very attentively, and if you keep your ear to the ground you listen and watch out for signs of future events. To see eye to eye with someone is to agree with them.
To keep stiff upper lip is the traditionally British quality of not showing any emotion in
times of trouble. To have your tongue in your cheek is to say one thing and mean something else. To have a sweet tooth is to have a taste for sweet food, and to do something by the skin of your teeth is to just manage to do it.
To stick your neck out is to do something risky or dangerous, and to keep someone at arm’s length is to avoid getting too friendly with them. If you have a finger in every pie, you are involved in a lot of different projects. To be under someone’s thumb is to be under their influence.
To be thick-skinned is to be insensitive to criticism, but to be thin-skinned is to be oversensitive. If your blood boils, you are furious about something, and if it freezes in your veins, you are terrified.
If you pull someone’s leg, you tease them. To fall on your feet is to be very fortunate. To find your feet is to become used to a new situation, but to get cold feet is to become frightened or nervous about something.

Приложение 2. Словообразование

to understand — to misunderstand (понимать — не понимать)
regular (правильный) — irregular (неправильный)
Суффиксы служат для образования различных частей речи. Использование того или иного суффикса или префикса не всегда подчиняется определенным правилам и чаще зависит от установившегося словоупотребления в языке, например:
