TASK 2

Read the text and do the tasks:

        All British universities are private institutions. Students have to pay fees and living costs, but every student may obtain a personal grant from local authorities. If the parents do not earn much money, their children will receive a full grant which will cover all the expenses. Students studying for first degrees are known as “undergraduates”. New undergraduates in some universities are called “fresher”. They have lectures, there are regular seminars.

         After three or four years the students will take their finals. Those who pass examinations successfully are given the Bachelor’s degree: Bachelor of Arts or Bachelor of Science. The first postgraduate degree is Master of Arts, Master of Science. Doctor of Philosophy is the highest degree. It is given for some original research work which is an important contribution to knowledge. Open Days are the  chance for applicants to see the university, meet students and ask questions. All this will help you decide whether you have made the right choice.

         The most famous universities in Britain are Oxford and Cambridge. They are the two oldest English universities and they both have a long and eventful history of their own. Oxford and Cambridge are regarded as being academically superior to other universities and as giving special privilege and prestige. Cambridge University consists of a group of 32 independent colleges. The first students came to the city in 1209 and studied in the schools of the cathedral and monasteries.

TIPS TO BEAT FINAL EXAM STRESS

Have you ever seen a stress-free high-school student?

Stress is a huge part of a school leaver’s experience, and it’s something we all have to deal with in life. We don’t, however, have to let it get the best of us.

This may come as a shock, but stress DOES NOT have to take over life, no matter how many finals you have. You can still do well on your tests without wanting to die for an entire week.

Here are six top tips for keeping stress at a minimum during your exams.

1. _____________

Stress actually is contagious (заразительный). During exam period, resist the urge to have a study session with your super-tense friend, especially if he/she’s complaining about all the work he/she has to do and breaking pencils all over the place. His/ Her stress will only add to your stress.

2. _____________

This seems like a no-brainer, but it’s a wonder how many people forget it. Skip the sugar, which will make you crash, and go for snacks like granola bars, healthy cereal or fruits and veggies to keep your blood sugar stable. If you’re studying for a long period of time, eat some protein too. Also, try to get some form of exercise. Even a 10-minute walk will leave you calmer and more focused.

3. ______________

What you need to say “no” to are the people who want to take up your time. There will probably be a friend who needs to talk to you for hours about life, or a party the night before your final, and if say “yes”, you’ll probably be tempted to blow off studying. Resist the urge. Say “no” to the distractions and be selfish for a day. You want a good result, right?

4. ______________

For every hour or so that you work, take a 10 or 15-minute break. Let yourself do whatever you want (check Facebook, check out that guy sitting nearby, stare off into space, call a friend, etc.) for those 10 – 15 mins, then start working again. This gives your brain a little rest and will help keep you more focused when you are actually doing work.

5. ______________

This is actually my favourite tip of all, even though it sounds kind of nuts. Imagine yourself taking the test and feeling confident that you know all the information. Picture getting all of the answers right, and focus on how relaxed you feel. Then picture the A on your test paper. When you imagine a happy ending, that’s often what happens, because you make the decisions that lead to it without even realizing.

6. ______________

When test-time rolls around, it’s time to get yourself into confidence mode. You’ve prepared as much as you could, and now it’s time to face the test. The tip here is to do whatever works to convince yourself you are going to do really well. Again, I know this tip sounds a little crazy but you just have to try it for yourself. I think you’ll like the results.  

A. Take some deep breathing exercises      

B. Force yourself to take breaks

C. If you’ve studied all you can, get up your confidence!

D. Just say NO

E. Eat healthy and exercise

F. Ask for help

G. Avoid stressful people

H. Visualize it all going right
