Лекция: IХ. Speak on the following situations.
1. Your friend is just leaving school but she has not made up her mind what she wants to become. Have a talk with her about her plans for the future and tell her about your studies at the University.
2. Two students of the English department are discussing their college life. One of them is enthusiastic about everything, the other is a dissatisfied grumbler and finds fault with every little thing.
3. Your mum is anxious to know the reason for your failure in two exams. You feel ill at ease because indeed you worked by fits and starts, however you try to justify yourself.
4. They say college is a testing time for both children and their parents. Tell your friend what college life has in store for him.
5. A Russian student and an English student are speaking about education and favourite leisure activities of young people in their countries.
6. Your friend is doubtful whether to apply to college after school or seek a job. Tell him about the benefits of high education, your university and your student life.
X. It is important to understand. You’re Worth It.
Do not undermine your worth
by comparing yourself with others.
It is because we are different
that each of us is special.
Do not set your goals
by what other people deem important.
Only you know
what is best for you.
Do not take for granted
the things closest to your heart.
Cling to them as you would your life,
for without them, life is meaningless.
Do not let your life slip through your fingers
by living in the past not for the future.
By living your life one day at a time,
you live all the days of your life.
Do not give up when you still have something to give.
Nothing is really over until the moment you stop trying.
It is a fragile thread that binds us to each other.
Do not be afraid to encounter risks.
It is by taking chances that we learn how to be brave.
Do not shut love out of your life by saying it is impossible to find.
The quickest way to receive love is to give love.
The fastest way to lose love is to hold it too tightly.
Do not dismiss your dreams.
To be without dreams is to be without hope;
to be without hope is to be without purpose.
Do not run through life so fast
that you forget not only where you have been,
but also you are going.
Life is not a race,
but a journey to be savored each step of the way.
