Text D. The working day of a first year student.

 

I want to become a doctor. I studyat the medical department. It is very interesting and rather difficult, but I shall do all my best to be a good student.

I live in the hostel. Our hostel is not far from the Theoretical Building of the Medical Faculty. I get up early in the morning at about 7 o’clock a.m. I have enough time to do my morning exercises, to have a rubdown and have breakfast in the canteen. As for some of my friends, they live with their parents far from the Theoretical Building and they get up earlier. Some students go to the University on foot but others go there by bus or car.

Our classes usually beginat 8 o’clock a.m. In addition to our classes we have a lecture or two every day. Every daywe spend 6-8 hoursin the University but Saturday. On Saturday we have only one lecture and English classes. We pay much attention to the English language because we shall read many medical articles not only in Russian but in English too. We study our special subjects theoretically from books and scientific articles and by the experiments in classes and laboratories. We don’t want to have knowledge gaps in our subjects, so we try not to miss the lectures and classes. The attendance of classes and lectures is compulsory for all the students. It is useful to attend lectures because the professors always deliver them clearly and scientifically. Yesterday Professor Leykonen from Finland delivered the lecture about the new drugs. Our students asked him many questions.

Besides lectures and classes I have much interesting and necessary work to do. I don’t like to waste the time. Often I do my home work in the reading hall of our library. From the library I come back to the hostel. In the evenings I read books, watch TV or meet with my friends.

  • Do I understand the value of medical education?
  • Am I interested in how the human body functions?

If you answered "Yes" to most of these questions, you have chances to be the right kind of personality for a medical career.
