My profession
In our country every man can choose the profession which he likes according to his abilities. The profession of a lawyer is one of the most popular professions nowadays. The legal profession is very interesting and diverse. I know that a lawyer should be a perfect expert in laws and their proper usage. That’s why I decided to be a lawyer and I entered the Barnaul Law Institute. Now I study by correspondence and work in the agency of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Training at our Institute is difficult but interesting. Being a student I am to study many different subjects such as Crime Detection, Criminal Law, Criminal Procedure, Crime Psychology and others. Besides I am to get professional skills and abilities – to drive a car, to use the weapon, to search a crime scene, to master investigational techniques.

Great Britain
Great Britain is situated to the north-west of Europe on the British Isles. It is made up of England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. The official name of the country is the United Kingdom. Great Britain is separated from the Continent by the English Channel and is connected with many countries by sea.
The climate of Britain is mild and warm because of the warm Gulf Stream. Most of the mountains are in the north in Scotland, but they are not very high. Scotland is also famous for its beautiful lakes. The rivers in Great Britain are not long, but many of them are deep.
The longest rivers are the Clyde and the Thames.
London is the capital of the country. It consists of four parts: the City, the West End, the East End and the Port.
The City is a small area but is the business and commercial heart of London. All the main banks and offices are situated here. In the centre of the City there is the tower of London and St. Paul’s Cathedral.

Supplementary Reading
My name is David Nelson. I was born in London, but now I live in California, in the USA. I am a TV news reporter. I work for a small magazine and I really like my work because it is very interesting. I meet many interesting people every day.
I come from a large family. My father has a farm in the North of England and he is very busy with the work on the farm. My mother is a housewife. She has a lot of work to do about the house and she is very busy too. Every summer I go to see my parents and my relatives. I have two sisters and one brother. My elder sister is twenty-six. She is married and has a son Nick. He is six and is in the first grade at school. My sister is a doctor and her husband is a lawyer. It is a well-paid job and he makes a lot of money. My younger sister’s name is Ann. She is twenty and is in her first year at Oxford University. My brother Ted who is fifteen lives with my parents. He is in high school. He wants to become an economist, but I’m afraid it is only a dream because he is rather lazy and my mom and dad have a lot of problems with him.
I’m twenty-four. I am married and have a family of my own. My wife Jane is twenty-three, she is a school teacher but she doesn’t work now because we have a baby, she is only seven months old. So we are three in my family and we get on very well with each other.
A Student's day
I am a first-year student of the Barnaul Law Institute. I am from Barnaul, but now all our freshmen live in the hostel. Our working day begins with reveille at 6 a. m. We do morning exercises, wash, dress and fall in line for the march to breakfast. Classes begin at half past eight in the morning and end at twenty minutes past one p. m. After classes we have dinner and a short rest and then we go to the reading-room to prepare for seminars, do home work for the next day, write reports and course-papers. After classes the students take part in the work of various scientific societies, where they do research work on different problems of Law and law enforcement. We also go in for sport in various sport clubs and take part in amateur activities. At 7 o'clock we have supper. In the evening I very seldom go out. I stay in hostel with my fellow-students. We usually listen to the radio, watch TV. From this time until 8 p. m. students attend to personal needs and at 11 o'clock p. m. we go to bed. On Sunday we don't have classes. It is our day off. On Sunday we have a rest after a week of hard studies. We are very busy with our lessons and have very little free time during the week, because we work hard.
We do our best to get knowledge, education and become highly professional lawyers.

The USA
The USA (the United States of America) is a federation of 50 states which are in the same general area between Canada in the north and Mexico in the south. The other two states are geographically separate. Alaska is in the extreme north-west of the American continent, and Hawaii is in the middle of the Pacific Ocean.
The federal capital is Washington, south of New York, near the east coast. Washington is the centre of federal government but each state has its own capital and its own government. State governments have a large amount of power and independence, they make their own laws and they are also responsible for education, for the state police force, for the prison system, for road building and many other things.
Federal laws are made by Congress which is the equivalent of the British Parliament. There are two Houses: the House of Representatives and the Senate. Each state sends representatives and senators to Congress. Elections to the House of Representatives are held every two years, while senators are elected separately together with the Vice-President. They serve for a term of four years. The President forms the Cabinet. There are two main political parties in the USA: the Democrats and the Republicans. The Democrats are slightly more to the left than the Republicans, but the differences between their policies are not usually very great.
