V. Translate the following into English in writing:

Я закінчила школу рік тому. Минулого літа я склала три вступні іспити на “відмінно” і вступила до університету. Наш університет знаходиться на вулиці Остафова. Це чотирьохповерховий будинок з багатьма навчальними кімнатами (аудиторіями), лабораторіями, великою актовою залою, бібліотекою, та читальним залом. В університеті є декілька факультетів. Вони готують вчителів англійської, української мови, математики, фізики, інформатики, історії та інших кваліфікованих спеціалістів. В інституті багато викладачів. Багато хто з них займається науковою роботою.

Наш навчальний рік ділиться на два семестри. Наприкінці кожного семестру сту­денти складають іспити з різних дисциплін. Після іспитів у студентів канікули. Моя профільна дисципліна - англійська мова.

Заняття з англійської мови у нас кожен день. На заняттях ми розмовляємо виключно англійською мовою. Ми багато працюємо, щоб оволодіти мовою та позбутися помилок. І ми вже досягли певного успіху. На заняттях з англійської мови ми виконуємо багато вправ в усній і письмовій формі, на семінарах робимо доповіді. Багато студентів беруть участь в роботі науко­вого товариства. Хоча я - першокурсниця, я не можу не думати про свою майбутню професію. Я сподіваюсь, що буду хорошим вчителем.

The University trains skilled specialists of different professions for public education, culture, art and other spheres of our national economy. It is one of the leading higher schools of the Rivne region.

They combine theoretical studies with practical work, have practical pedagogic at the places of their future work. The academic year has 2 terms. At the end of each term the students have examination sessions and take credit tests and examinations. After sessions they have holidays (winter and summer). The students who study by correspondence combine work and studies. They come to the University two times a year for studies and sessions. For a period of sessions the working correspondence students have holidays.

The students live at the hostel or in lodgings. Those students (at the day-time department) who study well get scholarships. Nowadays the education at higher school is not free for all the students. So many students pay for their studies.
