How I graduated from university and started a new life I would like to share with you with my new impressions. Five years ago, I entered the faculty of Law and dreamed of becoming a lawyer. The first course seemed endless, but the time flew so fast. Everything were during the study, and sleepless nights, heavy session, interesting subjects and and professors, various youth activities, meetings with friends etc. And then I was at the last year education, I pass graduation exams, defend a diploma and had crazy fun prom party until the morning. And the end. I am a graduate with two diplomas, and so sad, on the one hand the feeling of emptiness, and on the other hand a great opportunity. Now, a whole life is ahead, I have a lot of plans, but scary to make a mistake or do not have time. To tell the truth, in general I want to live abroad and work according to mine specialty.

How I graduated from university and started a new life

I would like to share my new impressions with you

Five years ago, I entered the faculty of Law and I dreamed of becoming a lawyer. The first term seemed endless, but the time flew so fast. There was everything during the study: sleepless nights, difficult exams, interesting subjects and and professors, various youth activities, meetings with friends etc. And when I was in the last year of my course, I passed graduation exams, defended my diploma and had crazy fun from party until the morning.

And the end, I am a graduate with two diplomas, and I am so sad - on the one hand the feeling of emptiness, and on the other hand great opportuninties.

Now, a whole life is ahead, I have a lot of plans, but I am afraid to make a mistake or do not have time. To tell the truth, in general I want to live abroad and work according to my specialty.

With best wishes

 

Немножко про лексику!

Course - всё время обучения (бакалавриата или магистратуры), а не год, как в "первый курс", второй курс. Я использовала term, это самое близкое.

Session не означает "экзаменационная сессия". Нефорально тут говорят просто exams, формально - assessment.

 

Теперь про грамматику:

when I was in the last year of my course, I passed graduation exams, defended my diploma and had crazy fun: вы задали прошедшее время упоминанием, когда было дело, и словом was. passed и defended тоже тогда надо в Pat Simple, это же действия, совершавшиеся одно за другим.

 

great opportuninties: если сказать a great opportunity, получается, у вас какая-то одна очень хорошая возможность (например, вам предложили работу в большой компании). Great opportuninties - много возможностей, "вся жизнь впереди" :)

 

По сути - у вас же отличный для неязыкового ВУЗа английский, подтянуть его немного - и подавайтесь на всякие программы за границу! :) Не на первый, так на второй год попыток непременно получите место.

Hello Alexandra... in adition to the corrections from Liza, there is another one:

 

I entered the faculty of Laws (must be plural in this case) 


"but scary to make a mistake or do not have time": my advice is that you don't have to be afraid, actualy making mistakes is part of the learning process, so if we try something and we fail, then we try again and again until we succeed. Almost nobody have success when trying something for the very fisrt time, but it's important to try because that's the way we learn, we learn from our mistakes, just remember that.

 

Here you have a friend who can help you improve your english!  :)

 

всего доброго !
