You are the Academic Officer of the university. You know the answers to all the questions about the university and students’ life. Your task is to provide information to the applicants and to make the university attractive for the applicant. Use the information given.

1. Terms of admission (General Certificate of Secondary Education + A–level results in at least two subjects + interview)

2. Fee (5, 000 pounds for a resident, 15, 000 pounds for a foreign student)

3. Methods of instruction (personal tutor, individual support and advice, choice of courses, a possibility to study for a year in Europe, lectures, tutorials, e-learning, Internet–based materials, interactive on-line Learning Environment which delivers 120 courses)

4. Libraries (1, 100, 000 volumes, over 3, 500 periodical subscriptions to journals, on–line access to 7, 000 journals, PC clusters available 24hours 7 days a week for Internet access and word-processing)

5. Accommodation (4000 thousand places, singles furnished with a bed, wardrobe, bookshelves, desk and chair. All rooms have a phone and high-speed network/internet link. The kitchens are modern and well-equipped).

Task 2

Students’ life differs a lot from that you had at school. Some young people say they have become more serious and responsible for their study. What has changed in your character since you entered the university? Have you become more serious, more responsible, more independent or vice versa?

Model: I think I have become more independent from the opinions of my parents. At the university a student has more freedom and he has to take a lot of decisions. I like to take decisions myself.
