All our students come here after participating in Maths competitions in their own countries and in different international mathematical contests. We are proud to say that new Newtons and Einsteins are among us.

2. The school is located in a quiet historical village. The complex consists of several buildings. The central and the highest building in the campus is our administrative centre. Lecture halls, chemical lab, the library and the computer centre are all here too. To the right of the central building, there are students' accommodations. All the rooms are nicely furnished, and there is a satellite TV in the students' lounge. To the left of the central building there is a students' café. Just behind it one can see an old building made of red brick. It used to be stables, but nowadays sports equipment like bicycles and boats are stored there.

3. All students have breakfast, lunch and dinner in the students' café at 8.00, 13.00 and 18.00 correspondingly. Lectures start at 9.00 and last till 13.00.

The day rounds off with disco or national dances. Students should be in their rooms by 11.00.

4. Most lectures are given by university teachers. Like students, they come from different countries and represent different universities but all the lectures are delivered in English. We are sure that you appreciate the diversity. The permanent staff of the school are always available in the administrative centre. They can advise you on any academic issues, recommend additional reading on the topics and answer your questions. If you have any questions, just come and ask.

5. Though it's summer and holiday time, your lecture attendance is obligatory. You can miss a lecture only if you are ill and have a doctor's permission to stay in your room. Our school doctor is available round the clock in the central office. If you feel unwell, don't hesitate to see him.

1. More than 80 percent of New Zealand's population are Britons or Europeans. That's why the New Zealand school system is similar to the British one. Education is free and compulsory for children between the ages of 6 and 16.The school year starts in January (after the summer holidays) and ends in December. In most schools wearing a school uniform is obligatory. For New Zealand teenagers daily life takes place in school where they stay up to the late afternoon.

2. Canada occupies most of the northern North America continent as well as some islands. It stretches from the Atlantic Ocean in the east to the Pacific Ocean in the west. It's also washed by the Arctic Ocean in the north. The country was discovered in 1497 by John Cabot, an Italian sea captain. About 2% of the Canadian territory is covered with ice. The eastern part of the country is mainly valleys and plains. The western territories are made up of the Cordilleras.

3. Most Americans simply call the Independence Day the "Fourth of July". It always falls on this day, and it celebrates the signing of the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776. At that time, the people of the 13 British colonies were involved in a war which had begun in 1775. The colonists were fighting for freedom from the English. The Declaration of Independence stated it clearly. For the first time in history the colonies were defined as the United States of America.

4. With great weather, great events and terrific crowds Australia Day in Melbourne in 2010 was one of the best ever! It is a day for all Australians to get together and, in whatever way they choose, celebrate being Australian. 1788 is when the British Fleet first arrived at Sydney Cove and lifted the British flag. Now, major cities throughout the country celebrate the national day with parades, free food, and different events.

5. Cambridge lies in East Anglia, about 50 miles north of London. The river Cam flows through it. It gets the name Cambridge from the river. It's a compact green city. There is always something to do and to see in the city: walk in the parks and gardens, visit museums and galleries, enjoy the festivals or relax in small cafés. The city is best known as the home of Cambridge University, one of the world's best universities. It was founded in 1209 and it consists of 30 colleges.

Speaker 1.

Once I travelled from London to Oxford. It's very convenient to get there by bus. The buses are quite comfortable and you can buy a ticket when you are right on the bus. You can buy it from a driver, it's all right, but make sure, that you have the right coins or banknotes. It's not polite to keep other passengers waiting while the driver is looking for your change.

Speaker 2.

Today we are going to see the most ancient part of the city. The historians say that some buildings there date back to the fifteenth century. The entrance to most museums, we are going to visit today, is free, but we'll have to buy tickets to get into the Central Museum of Arts. I advise you to buy a group tour ticket as it will be cheaper per individual. We won't have to take buses or any other transport as this is a walking tour. The meeting point is at the reception at 10 o'clock, right after your breakfast. Do not forget your cameras...

Speaker 3.

Welcome to our college! We hope you enjoy studying with us. On the very first day in our college you'll get a student's card. The card contains the most essential information about you, such as your name, the name of the school, the course you are taking. This card is necessary if you want to borrow some books from the college library. And it also gives you discounts in the stationary shop, in the students' café or if you use city buses. Tickets for students are cheaper than for other passengers, but you need to have your card with you. And certainly if you go somewhere by our school bus, the driver may ask you to show your student's card.

Speaker 4.

The students of our school enjoy lots of privileges. They can get free access to city libraries, half-price bus and train tickets, discounted tickets to swimming pools, and, if necessary, they can get a doctor's consultation and medicines absolutely free. We also provide our students with six free hours of internet access for free. It's enough for educational purposes and they can write lots of e-mails home to stay in touch with their families. However, if they want to browse the internet for more than six hours a week or play net games too much, they'll certainly have to pay more…

Speaker 5.

When you register for the exam, you need to fill in the form. Please write your first name and your last name in block letters. Your contact information should contain your address and your telephone number, so that we can contact you by phone. After that, you get your exam ticket - it's a special card where you will find your personal number, the date and time of the exam, number of the room you need to go to, and the name of your examiner. Please, make sure that you come on time. We don't accept any excuses like missed buses or traffic jams.

You have 30 seconds to complete the task. (Pause 30 seconds)
