MY STUDIES
Reading compehension

Everybody knows that education is an important part of life and it is necessary to be successful in our life. People study at school, college or universities. Many people think that the most eventful and interesting period of life is studying at school and at an university. Today I am going to describe you my institute. I am really glad that I study here. It is one of the finest country's higher educational institutions. It is located in Namangan. Many famous people have graduated from my institute, and not only engineers or scientists, but many outstanding writers, actors, showmen and politicians. Studying here gives a solid background in all spheres of knowledge and prepares for practical work. Many scientists work here, that’s why different conferences and meetings are held here every year.

Our institute is quite large, but not so old. It was founded in 1960s as a branch of Tashkent Textile institute. First, it was a small department of a large institute, but later it was rearranged into an independent institution. Establishment has developed rapidly since then, now it has become one of the finest institutes of the Republic. Nowadays it is a large school where about 5,000 students are currently enrolled. About 4,000 are full-time students, like me, and the rest study by correspondence. There are also many graduate students. They conduct independent research work and have pedagogical practice.

The course of study lasts four years. The academic year lasts for 10 months and there are vacations twice a year: in winter and in summer. There are 5 faculties in my institute. Here they are: the faculty of Engineering technology, the faculty of Light industry technology, the faculty Chemistry technology, Automation and Energetics faculty, Economics Faculty and the faculty of Agricultural products. Today it gives students an opportunity to choose educational program from 25 leading directions. The teaching is provided by the qualified specialists, professor-teachers.

Our institute is large and we have several buildings. One of the buildings is for lectures and seminars only. There are many large halls there so that students of 3-4 groups together can fit in there. The acoustics in such large halls is very good but sometimes it is very noisy when students chat during the lecture.

We have three laboratory buildings which are equipped with up-to-date equipments and there students can carry on lab works and conduct various experiments. Many active students do their own research work.

There are several cafes at the institute. My favourite one is situated in a separate one-storeyed building and people say that this is the oldest canteen or student's cafe. The food there is tasty and affordable.

There is also dormitory or hostel building in the institute where students from other cities live. But you know already that I don't live in a dormitory — I rent an apartment. I am very glad that I have chosen this institute. Currently I am the student of this place and I am proud of it.
