When I came back home I decided to become an engineer. I study at Vladimir State University at the correspondence department. My specialty is industrial and civil construction.

I combine work and study and I must say it is not easy but I try to do well at the university.

My family is small. There are three persons in it. I have a mother and a father. My father is a builder and my mother is a shop assistant.

Our family is very united. In the evenings and on week-ends when we all are at home we talk about our work and life. We also like to watch TV or just to discuss everyday problems.

All of us like to spend our week-ends out of town. We often go to the vil­lage to see our grandparents. They are old-aged pensioners now and prefer to live in the country. It is very important to have a good family where all people are tactful and respect each other.

The University I Study at

I study at Vladimir State University at the correspondence department. Our university is located in Gorky Street not far from the centre of the city. The his­tory of the university is very interesting. The university was set up in 1958 as a branch of the Moscow Evening Mechanical Engineering Institute. In 1963 on the basis of that institute was established Vladimir Evening Polytechnic Institute which was transformed into Vladimir Polytechnic Institute in 1969. Later in 1993 it was renamed into Vladimir State Technical University. In 1996 our Uni­versity was given the status of a classical university namely Vladimir State Uni­versity.

At present, the university has a license for training specialists in 46 specia­lities at 9 faculties. Besides the day department for full-time students the univer­sity also has evening and correspondence departments for those who combine work and study.

The faculties of the university occupy 4 modem buildings. The students of our university have at their disposal all kinds of laboratories, good libraries, some reading halls. The teaching staff consist of highly qualified specialists, professors, lecturers, assistants. They do their best to develop the students’ re­search skills and creative abilities. According to the programme at the university the theoretical study is accompanied by practical training at industrial enter­prises and research institutions.

I entered the university last year. Now I am a first-year student. I study at the correspondence department. According to the curriculum the part-time stu­dents study both general educational and specialized subjects. Among them are higher mathematics, physics, chemistry, philosophy, drawing, history, a foreign language, etc. At the end of the course of study the undergraduates submit di­ploma projects and take final exams.

The academic year is divided into 2 terms. At the end of each term the part-time students have an examination session, which usually lasts 3 weeks. The stu­dents attend lectures and seminars, do laboratory works, take tests and exams. At the end of every session the students are given different kinds of test-papers, the teaching materials for the next session.
