TEXT 2
I work and study
"He works and studies" - these words are applied to people who combine work
and studies. There are many people with a considerable experience in practical work
who study at secondary or higher schools and at the same time continue their regular
work. It is difficult to find a factory or a plant that has no night - class students
among its workers. People who work do not attend lessons or lectures in the day
time. But for those who take a course of evening classes there are numerous evening
secondary schools and technical schools, evening departments and correspondence
institutes in Russia.
How long does the course for engineers last? The complete evening course at
University lasts six years. What do night - class students learn in the first year of their
studies? They start with mathematics, physics, a foreign language (English, French or
German), and some other subjects. Do they have lectures and practice just the same
as daytime class students or is there any difference? Practically, there is no
difference; they also have lectures and practice. During practice hours they go over
the material of lectures. In mathematics, for example, they do problems according to
formulas explained in lectures. The correspondence and evening - class students take
an annual examination and submit a graduation paper, in the same manner as daytime
students in ordinary technical schools and institutes. The difference is that they do
not attend the institute every day but only four evenings a week. Four times a week
the students fill lecture - rooms and laboratories of the institute where they come
straight from work.
They get every assistance necessary for their studies from the state. A worker
who takes a course of night classes does not work during examination time - he gets
extra paid leave.
Is it difficult to work and to study at the same time? Naturally, it is not an easy
thing to do. However the desire for knowledge is so great that it helps to overcome
all difficulties. Thousands of workers graduate annually from the institutes and
become qualified specialists.
