3a Write a report about 180 words presenting the results of your
survey in Exercise 2f. You may use the sample answer below.
3b In the following sample answer there are eleven extra words that you do
not need. Try to find them.
This report looks at the careers of students who have left from St Anthony's,
and is based on questionnaires were received from over 300 former students.
Over the past few years, the majority of students (63%) have continued on with
the education after their leaving school. Most of these have gone to the
university, and the others have done vocational courses at Colleges of Further
Education.
About a quarter part of the students have found jobs after leaving school. Some
of these jobs are with employers in the local area, but others are in London or
49
even in abroad. About half of the students said that they were unemployed for
several of months before finding work. A small minority of students (1.5%) went
straight into their family businesses.
About 12% of the students were been unable to find work and have been
unemployed for over a year. Most of these were students who were failed their
examinations, although a few had passed with reasonable grades.
In general, more and more leavers are going on to university or further
education, and this trend will probably continue as long as the unemployment is
high.

NON-ACADEMIC ACTIVITIES
Throughout the years the VSU has succeeded in students' patriotic and esthetic
education, promoting sports and developing their creative and leadership skills.
Great attention has always been paid to preserving and developing the
longstanding cultural traditions and discovering new ones. For instance, The
Days of Poetry have become a renowned tradition, and many amateur and
professional poets take part in the event.
Two celebrations, the “Freshman's Ball” and “Students' Spring Festival” mark
autumn and spring seasons respectively. Many new talents have been discovered
here.
Other events that help students to develop their potential skills and talents are
evenings dedicated to Russian romance, a contest of popular song and dance, and
a contest of bard's songs.
Folk bands “Lei” and “Terem” that keep and enrich folk music tradition are
also of great success.
Several student clubs are open in the VSU: the “Vdohnoveniye” singing club,
the “Chandni” oriental dance club, photography exhibitions “The world through
the eyes of students”, and other graphical arts and crafts exhibitions.
Sports and physical training for both teachers and students are of great value
and importance in the VSU. Annual sports events held in the VSU help
promoting healthy lifestyle and encourage both students and teachers to practice
all kinds of sport, which are taught in 34 different sport clubs.
Students also actively participate in intercollegiate sports events. In 2007 –
2008 the VSU was represented by 34 teams specializing in 25 kinds of sport at
the Intercollegiate Sports Competition and got the 3rd place.
Many times the VSU has won the city contest for promoting healthy lifestyle
among students.
In summer students and staff practice sports and go for an active rest in the
Venevitinovo sports and health camping resort, situated in an unspoilt beauty
spot on the bank of the Usmanka river.
A lot of students are involved in social work. The Students' Council is a self-
governed body which fulfils the following functions: coordinating links between
university administration and students, controlling faculty students' councils,
preventing anti-social behaviour and organizing conferences and round tables.
Groups of students visit orphanages where they introduce educational games,
organize creative contests and festive events for the children.
Since 2006 Psychologist Consultation Service has been open in the VSU, the
objective of which is to keep a comfortable psychological atmosphere for the
health of both students and staff. Representatives of the Service regularly meet
51
with students and teachers, carry out polls, help students and teachers solve their
psychological problems.

5.READING AND WRITING
5a Read the grant information:
The Green Foundation is offering grants of up to £5000 to fund new projects at
schools and universities which are aimed at improving the environment. If you
would like to be considered for a grant, please write to us, telling us what you
will do in your project, how much money you will need and how you plan to
spend the money.
5b Read the following application for the grant. There are ten extra words
that should not be there. Can you find them?
Dear Sir or Madam
I am writing with reference to your announcement and would like to
apply me for a grant.
I am a seventeen-year-old student at Brandon School in London. I am
studying science because I intend to do medicine at the university. I have
always been interested in the environment. I feel that we should to make
people more aware of the benefits of re-cycling.
Last year, as part of our chemistry course, we did a project on re-cycling.
The project had two aims. The first aim it was to study the problem of
disposing of ordinary household products such as like bottles and plastics. We
worked out which products were enough safe to throw away, and which ones
could be re-cycled. Our second aim was to give this information out.
We produced leaflets for students and parents and at the weekends we
handed more leaflets out in supermarkets. The cost of this it came to about
£1000. We also spent £500 in writing to local shops near, supermarkets and
other businesses asking them to provide re-cycling facilities.
I hope you will consider us for a grant for £1500, and am look forward to
hearing from you.
Yours faithfully,
Paul Porritt
