Text I: KATYA'S UNIVERSITY
Hello again! This is Katya and this time I'll tell you about my University and my studies.
I am very happy that I study here. It is one of the finest country's higher educational institutions. Many famous people have graduated from my University, and not only economists or scientists, but many outstanding writers, actors, showmen and politicians. Studying at our University gives a solid background in all spheres of knowledge and prepares for practical work.
Our University is quite large but not very old, compared to other national institutions* It was founded in the beginning of the 20th century. In 1915, during the World War I the university of Warsaw was evacuated here.,First, it had only three faculties, but later it became the largest University in the region and it gave birth to other Institutes in the region/Nowadays it is a large school where more than 18 000 students are currently enrolled. The majority are full-time students, like me, and the rest are part time-students. There are also about 150 graduate students aspirants and doctorants. They conduct independent research work and have pedagogical practice.^
The course of study at my University lasts five years. There are many faculties at my University; Here are some of them: the faculty of Mechanics and Mathematics,
Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Law, Economics, Philology and Journalism and, of course, the faculty of Psychology, where I currently study.
Our University is large and we have several buildings. One of the buildings is for lectures and seminars only. There are many large halls there so that students of 3-4 groups together can fit in there. And that is more than lOOpeople.The acoustics in such large halls is very good but sometimes it is very noisy when students chat during the lecture.

We have two other buildings for library, computer center, gym, and other facilities. Many students from my group want to do their own research work in the future and these facilities will certainly help them.
There are several cafes at the University. My favourite one is situated in a separate one-storeyed building. The food there is tasty and very affordable.
There are also several dormitories or hostel buildings where students from other cities or countries live. But you know already that I don't live in a dormitory I rent an apartment.
