So, you are students of South-Russia State
Technical University. Our congratulations!
You passed your entrance examinations
successfully and entered one of the best
and biggest Universities of our country.
The academic year consists of two terms:
the autumn term and the spring term. In
January and June the students have their
examinations. Teaching is by lectures,
seminars and practical laboratory classes.
Lectures are aimed at giving the basic
framework of knowledge. Seminars give the
opportunity for group discussion of a topic
with a member of academic staff. Laboratory classes in all faculties provide
the opportunity to gain essential practical
skills and are specifically organised so that
students learn by their own practical
experiments.
The students study hard and have no free
time on week days. They study many
different subjects such as higher
mathematics, chemistry, physics, descriptive
geometry, strength of materials, informatics,
foreign languages, economics, history and
many others.
Highly-qualified lecturers and professors
help students in their studies. Well-
equipped laboratories and workshops are
at their disposal. Specialisation in senior
courses enables undergraduates to follow,
their own interests in a subject, for example
into pure research as a career or into
contemporary applications with the aim of a
career in industry.
The rapid expansion in information-
technology is reflected strongly in the
teaching and research programmes of the
University. Most students use computers as
an essential part of their courses.
There is a multitude of student activities at
the University: sports clubs, arts societies,
student societies etc. Numerous student
concerts, dance performances, exhibitions,
drama productions are held each year.
Undergraduates play various instruments,
take part in festivals, dramatic shows and
dancing parties.
A lot of students of our University take part
in social life of the University.
There are different sports clubs at our
University, such as track-and-field athletics,
gymnastics, basketball, volley-ball, football,
wrestling, boxing and others. Most of the
students go in for sport. They can do sports in sporting facilities - various gymnasiums,
sports grounds and a swimming pool.
SRSTU is recognised as one of the most
successful universities in the south of our
country in sporting competitions. There are
European and world champions among the
students of our University.

Dear Editor,
I really don't think that readers need your journal any more. In your articles you write about new achievements of scientists and about all those "man made wonders". I'm strongly against the propaganda of technological progress. It has done people more harm than good. It has created the nuclear bomb, it has made lots of animal species extinct, and now it's destroying the ozone layer and causing global warming. It will bring us to collapse very soon.
I demand that scientific research of any kind should be prohibited, and journals like yours should be closed. People need fresh air and clean water and don't need any technological progress.
Sincerely your,
John Lester

Useful language
Achievements in medicine make it possible for people to live longer.
Different devices are able to sustain people's life during operations.
Household appliances have altered our lifestyle considerably.
Efficient means of transport and communication can bring together people who are separated by the ocean.
Computers and robots accelerate research in the ocean and the cosmos.

Dear Mr Lester
I've read your letter on the technological progress but cannot agree with you. Though technology affects nature and the environment, it would be unfair to say that they don't do people anything good.

However,you are right that we should do something to stop the negative effects of the technological progress. We all need to think about it and be reasonable and constructive.
