       A. But one of the topical question at the English exam will be about our speci-
ality
       B. So well, I can represent it as following;
       I am a second year student of the Power Engineering Faculty of the Orenburg
State University. It is one of the largest higher educational establishment in our town.
The Power Engineering Faculty was organized in November, 1999.It trains engi-
neers-electricians. During the years of activity the faculty has trained many highly-
qualified engineers. Such specialist are in great demand nowadays. There are the day-
time, the evening-time and extra-mural departments. Those who combine studies
with their work are trained at the evening-time and extra mural department.
       The whole process of studying dеals with mastering new systems of power
supply and progressive technology of using these systems.
       The junior students are taught mathematics, physics, a foreign language (Eng-
lish ,German, French), chemistry, philosophy, computer processing of information.
We attend lectures ,do laboratory work and tests. We have quite a number of well -
equipped laboratories at our disposal. Mastering one of the foreign languages enables
us to read foreign literature and learn about the latest scientific and technical
achievements abroad.
       The senior students study special electric subject such as. Strength of Materi-
als, Electrical Engineering , Electropower Engineering , Vocational Training
,Industrial Physics, Economy and Organization of Production ,Technical servicing,
etc.
       The fourth - year students combine their studies with their research work. We
write course papers and graduated thesis on the scientific problems of our research
work.
       Many highly - qualified teachers work at the departments of our faculty ,some
of them have candidates degrees and scientific ranks.
       According to the academic plan the fifth-year students are sent to work at dif-
ferent plants and electric power stations.
       During practice the students master the job of an engineer - electrician and at
the same time collect materials for their diploma papers.
       The final and most important period in the student's life is the defence of the
graduation work in the presence of the state Examining Board. All the graduates find
work according to their speciality.
       We shall work at electric power stations, at heat and power plants or at indus-
trial enterprises, at power control inspections, at design and research institutions and
laboratories. Besides, we are provided with everything necessary for a scientific ca-
reer entering a post - graduate course. In a word we have a wide range of job oppor-
tunities.
