A. Is it difficult to study at the History        Department?
S. If you work hard at all lectures, tutorials and seminars, if you read a lot of
specialized literature and analyze it, then I hope you’ll be a good historian.
A. What subjects did you study when you were a first year student?
S. We studied Archeology, Ancient history, Latin, Russian History (the period of
feudalism), English and some other subjects. At the end of each term we took tests
and exams. Each year we present an essay to our scientific adviser and make
contributions in class and sometimes at the students’ conferences on historical
themes/topics.
A. It sounds attractive.
S. I’m sure you’ll enjoy your studies at the University. I wish you good luck at your
entrance exams.
A. Thanks a lot.
