- I am going to go America to educate there. How that I am eager to clear up some questions about it. Will you help me?
- Of course I’ll do it anyway.
- Nice of you to say that. First of all I’d like you to explain me. How successful applicants are chosen at colleges at leading universities.
- I’ll explain it with great pleasure. These applicants are chosen on the basis of a) Their high school records, b) recommendations, c) their scores on the scholastic aptitude tests.
- Well, I see. But does the system of higher education on the us comprise there categories of institution?
- That’s right. These there categories of institutions are: 1) the university, which may contain several colleges for under graduate students, 2) the technical training institutions, 3) the two – year, or community college.
- Well, I see! But can be they public or private?
- No doubt. These institutions can be private or public and it depends on the source of its funding.
- A future student will have himself in factors determining the quality of education what institutions can you suggest to me?
- The most selective are the old private north – eastern universities such as Harvard Radcliffe, Princeton University, and University of Pennsylvania.
- What can you say about their traditions?
- Certainly. These traditions make a great influence on their reputation.
- What else must Americans also know about universities?
- Everyone has to know information about Professional degrees such as a Bachelor of Law, or a Bachelor of Divinity.
- I don’t want to annoy you? But I’d like to know something about the requirements for a Master’s or Doctor’s degree.
- You may read more detailed information in some handbooks or guides.
- I see, you are not a chatterbox, you prefer to speak in a short way. But explain me the question about the credits.
- It depends on the number of hours of work involved. They are earned by attending lectures and by successfully completing assignments and examinations.
- Are credits for the academic work transferable among universities?
- Yes, they are.
- Many thanks for your assistance.
- Don’t mention it. It wasn’t any difficulty for me.
Difficult children
- This year I’ll graduate from the university. And I am going to work at school. But children are in the first place at school. Though they sat I am meant to be a teacher. Sometimes I am afraid of so called “difficult” children.
- You see, “difficult” children are not a problem in comparison with many other problems.
- Nevertheless the problem deserves much attention of necessary. But one must concentrate all the efforts to understand the children, who to some extend are unhappy, who are inclined to use for example, drugs, to destroy order, and waste the greater part of the day.
- I am glad you to have a shift in your opinion, calling “difficult” children – unhappy. You may absorb much information about youth problems from magazines and newspapers, which confirm the fact, that working with children 1st of all you are to love them in spite of the fact they are children of awful habits.
- Well, I understood that to have success in future work with children. I love a way with these children. I’d like to talk with some experienced teaches who will be able to describe their long – termed work with much detail. No doubt, it will be of great importance for me.
- You must not only to learn the children themselves, but their families as well, who are in a light corner. You must be very convincible working with such families.
- Of course, I want to work at school though I am not so elated but I hope to find good relations with the children, and may be they won’t be “difficult” no longer.
- Good luck. Really. You are must be a teacher, no difficult frighten you.
Customs and holidays
- Many people like to celebrate different holidays now days. As you know the holidays are different: they may be – international, national, local, family, political, and cultural and others. Which of them do you prefer?
- There is a proverb: My home is my fortress. That is why I like family holidays ordinary though they are.
- By the way I quite agree with you on account of that fact that all the people love their families. First of all we like birthday parties. We prepare for them carefully.
- Certainly birthday parties – are the purest ones we put a fortune tree in the living room and decorate it with lanterns, crackers, with birthday wishes.
- Don’t make haste. Tell about the fortune tree in details.
- It is not so extraordinary we put a branch of a tree in a bowl. Then hang paper toys, sweets, crakes with wishes in it. And everyone is pleased to receive any prize.
- Great. I see you at your best. And what other family holidays do you celebrate except birthday?
- Well they are different family anniversaries: entering school, finishing it, entering the university and graduation from it, the anniversary of wedding party and so on.
- Well I see. It is so pleasant to be together with your relatives to make head or tall the sorrows, the troubles, the happiness of each other. By the way tomorrow is my birthday and I invite you.
- Certainly I’ll come and I want to suggest you to make place markers for your guests, decorating them with colored paper balloons with the name of your guests. I am sure they will know your party will be more joyful and interesting.
- Thanks a lot of. Doesn’t forget: tomorrow at 5 o’clock in the evening. My address is Flat 1. 54 Forest Street.
- Don’t worry. I‘ll be in time and by the way I want to clear up know are you about folklore?
- I like folk dances and songs and I want to show you my folk Russian dress.
- Oh, you have made it yourself!
- With a help of my relatives. I want you to hear Russian folk songs tomorrow. I know many of them. By the way my relatives can play folk instruments and we have a good time, resting together.
- It is curious. I hope I’ll like it too. I like Russian songs too.
A problem child
- All I can think is the problem of problem children and problem parents?
- It makes me angry to hear this why? This theme seems simple if important.
- You set much store by this problem.
But you see if people i.e. parents bring up their children there are no problem children.
- I don’t agree. I think the parents should have a very with their children. And it isn’t easy. I can tell you.
- How is that you can’t understand that there is nothing to worry about. Children must obey their parents. Parent must look after their children. And that is all.
- I wanted to finish the discussion but I decided not to do, because some pupils are in very different conditions. E.g. their parents are drugs – addicted or have other harmful habits. They got their children rattled.
- I wouldn’t go so far as to take it5 seriously. Because there are not so many people with harmful habits.
- Look here unfortunately there are many problem children and problem parents, because of unpleasant condition in the society: e.g. unemployment, shortage of money, a high level of divorces and of course the school is involved in all these processes.
- It’s your look out. No doubt there should be two sided. Promotion concerning parents and children.
TV – a national disease
- I assure you that TV has positive and negative influences.
- Certainly I am not opposed to this question. But I think needn’t worry about it; the TV leadership knows its way about and can find a necessary way out.
- I will say this for TV it taught me a lot.
- Sure, some TV programmes are valuable. Nowadays cable television, satellite televisions are widely spread.
- I prefer current affairs and nature life programmes.
- I see as to me I am fond sports programmes and sitcoms.
- Of course TV has much positive influence. It is modern, can be portable, interesting and exciting.
- But from the other hand. TV becomes commercial; there are too many thrillers, soap operas much violence.
- And the screen time is too expensive.
- I am annoyed with the advertisement.
- So do I. I think they should reduce the time of the advertisement.
- No matter how negative TV seems to be it has great future.
Family life
- In todays conversation I would like to concentrate of major problems of young couples, because not so long ago my brother has married. First his wife and he were meant for each other. And now..?
- Well, I myself am going to marry. And this problem is in the first place for me. Can you describe with much detail the problems of your married brother?
- When a young family was confirmed by the parents, all the finical problems were out – of – the – way. But then on account of young couple wanted to be independent parents stopped their support some problems appeared.
- You wanted drop a hint. They made ends meet.
- Exactly!
- And to avoid the problems both husband and wife should entrust each other and then their marriage will be effective.
- And what about love and looking up to.
- Sure. When young couples find fault with each other their marriage will fail under any circumstances.
What makes a good teacher?
- The question about teaching is more popular than ever.
- Really! What an importance it must have been to our society.
- It is because of everybody is involved in the process of teaching.
- The first and most important thing I have to tell you that some people have an inform gift for teaching.
- I really do remember that of course a good teacher must have an inform gift for teaching. But not only it!
- You have some contras of the informal gift don’t you?
- I am inclined that an informal gift as a matter of fact is vital. But I prefer the opinion that the skill of teaching can be taught.
- I don’t shift my ground. I know some examples, when good teachers without necessary pedagogical education, are good teachers indeed. They are teachers by their origin. There are meant for being teachers.
This opinion is attractive of interesting. But in comparison with it, the teacher must be a person of high qualification.
- Thus he must know too much.
- So a good teacher must confirm his high appointment to serve the business of pupils’ education.
Married or single?
- My congratulations, to your recent marriage. I’d like to know whether you make haste or not?
- As far as can realize I didn’t commit an error. I really lost my heart to my husband.
- You want to say that you are meant for each other.
- I want to remind you of the fact that practically we my husband and me were acquainted for many years. And we hadn’t any confusion.
- So you drop a hint, that being married is better than being single?
- I don’t drop a hint. I know exactly, where you have a family with a favorite person you are lucky.
- It seems to me you don’t have the least notion of some disadvantages being married.
- Of course I’m married not so long ago, but I don’t want to think about the disadvantages concerning marriage.
- You are so inspired! But I’m not embarrassed that I’m single.
- Well, Now I understand why you are again marriage because you single.
- Don’t have such a rough tongue. But I want to open your eyes to some couple problems. I don’t want to marry, until I understand that my future spouse is my real second half.
- But according to you people mustn’t marry at all.
- Of course, tastes are differ! Some people fail in marriage, some fail being alone.
- I suggest when you are alone, you are unhappy, and when you have somebody’s love, care’ children you can’t be unhappy 1 that is you must be married.
Television and children
- I think that nowadays television is the apple of our eyes.
- Do you really mean it?
- Yes, there’s nothing I like more than television.
- But I must say I am not too found of television.
- Why, isn’t that lovely?
- I am afraid television has some negative influence especially on children?
- What do you mean!
- First of all it is at a great sacrifice to children’s health.
- Really many parents can’t do a thing with their children. They won’t give up watching TV too much.
-Then children are involved in many adult actions such as violence, cruelty, etc.
- But in comparison with their information technologies. It is not so harmful!
- As far as I am able to judge, of course television has some positive influence first of all. There are interesting educational programmes.
- Now there are some children channels, eg. “Telenynya”, “Children world” which can parents brining the children up.
- And about the cultural development.
- Here you have my whole support!
So the point is that there should be measure in everything. Parents should regulate the time and the content of watching.
Books and reading
- Reading is very important and useful, I can tell you.
- I quite agree with you. I am not opposed to your opinion. Now is that everybody is interested in reading.
- Well, you see. Books suit us down to the ground from the very childhood. Where children like to read fairy tales. Which teach the people to be kind, since frank?
- And when we begin to have our feet on the ground books teach us to live in serious life. As you know books are different; they may be documentary, or books about adventures, about love, about nature, and of course there is much scientific literature.
- No doubt. Books cover a lot of ground. Books are our good friends I can tell you.
- It comes about that there are many own, private libraries full of wonderful, interesting books. By the way have you a home library?
- Yes, and I have some very ancient copies. Many generations of our family collected books. And I am proud of my collection I have some handbooks, different encyclopedias. I like to sit in the armchair and to read in silence, looking at the table lamp light.
- So do I. In flesh the books help us much. We are together during the whole life. Oh pardon me, my time is up. I am in a hurry. Our conversation was interesting for both.
- Well see you. If you find any ancient copy of the book, phone me, I’ll be very pleased to come by it.
Man and music
- Many factors influence on the personality’s development and one of them is music. To bring a conclusion I must say that music and our life can’t exist separately.
- There is something special in the way you speak.
- On the contrary. It is not special. Really music is with us constantly. It may be serious, funny, sad, joy, it can control our feelings our mood, it can maintain us, it can cause sorrow, enjoyment etc.
- Well, to my satisfaction I’m glad to listen to your words. Because before our conversation I almost ignored music. Interesting or not I was indifferent to music. But now I change my mind and I am sure that I can set my mind on music.
- I think to achieve it you need to have many music literatures, records at hand.
- I shall try my hand to do it.
- This will be the most I can expect of you.
- Nice of you to say that I’ll try to do my best.
- You are so persistent. You suffer no embarrassment.
- Sure. I’ll eat out of my hand. Then good luck to you.
- Seriously speaking I thing I’ll try to understand the importance of music on the man’s life.
The profession of a teacher
- Dear daughter let’s discuss choice of profession for you. What kind of profession do you like?
- Mamma I’d like the profession of a teacher.
- I’m very glad that you have just chosen this profession.
- No mamma I can tell you I want to become a teacher.
- How was it that you had never spoken about it with me anyway?
- I knew that you’ll ask me about my profession. I think I am meant for children I love them very much and I want to teach them.
- My dear daughter I have nothing but admiration for you for your words. I am proud of you.
- Thank you mamma I’d say this to my teachers they were kind souls.
- I know whether your teachers were busy or not they always find time for us.
- You are right, but I thank to you because you supported me without you I couldn’t possibly take my decision.
