Hello! My name’s Alex. I’m a student of the Pacific National Univercity in Kabarovsk. I’m in my first year and I major in Economics. 

It was only a year ago that I was a school-boy. I did well at school, and my favourite subjects were maths and computer science. First I thought to enter information science, but then I changed my mind and decided to take up economics. I took my school-leaving exams in maths, social science and Russian. I was successful and was admitted to the institute. 

The first day at the institute was unforgettable. We gathered in the Assembly Hall where the rector congratulated us on the beginning of the academic year and wished us success in our student’s life. We were given our student’s cards and record books. I made friends with many of my group-mates. 

Student’s life isn’t easy. We must study hard, attend lectures and seminars, make reports and write course papers. The university course lasts 4 years. An academic year is divided into 2 terms each ending in an examination session. At the end of each term students take pass-fail tests and sit for their exams. This summer I am having exams in history, mathematics and philosophy. On graduating students receive diplomas which give them the right to work according to their specialty. 

I am a student and must work very hard, so I always look forward to the weekends and holidays. On Sunday, I don’t have to hurry anywhere, that’s why I often have a lie-in. I do my bed, wash my face and go to the kitchen. I like to have something tasty for breakfast on Sunday: chicken or my favourite apple pie. After breakfast, if the weather is sunny, I usually don’t stay indoors, I go to see my friends. After dinner we usually visit our grandparents or relatives, or I just simply have a sleep. Sometimes I go to an art exhibition or to the concert. When it’s rainy I prefer staying at home and watching videos. 

At the university we have two holidays. It’s fun to have holidays, you can do whatever you like, you don’t have to get up early, go to classes and do your homework. In winter we have two-week holidays. I spend much of my time outdoors skiing and snowboarding. But I like summers holidays better because it’s much longer.
