B. Do you know the history of the word «student»?

                

 

The word «student» is etymologically derived through Middle English from the Latin word, the meaning is "to direct one's zeal at". In its widest use, "student" is used for anyone who is learning.

In many countries, the word "student" is reserved for higher education or university students. The first European universities were student universities: the professors depended on payment from the students, who picked their own courses, often itinerant.The 17^th of  November is International Students' Day, which commemorates those students who called for peace who were killed at the beginning of the Second World War; specifically, the date was chosen in memory of Jan Opletal and the events following his death.

At universities in the United Kingdom and Ireland the derivative form "fresher" is more often used to describe new students; the term "first years" is also commonly used (especially after the first term). The week before the start of a new year is called "Freshers' Week" at many universities, with a programme of special events to welcome new students; some universities, however, are attempting to drop the connotative associations of "freshers' week" by renaming it "welcome week". An undergraduate in the last year of study before graduation is generally known as a "finalist", or simply a third year (in England, Wales, Northern Ireland and Republic of Ireland) or a fourth year (in Scotland).

First year

A freshman (slang alternatives that are usually derogatory in nature include "fish", "fresher", "frosh", "newbie", "freshie", "snotter", "fresh-meat", etc.) is a first-year student in college, university or high school. The gender-neutral variation "freshperson" is rare.

Second year

In the U.S., a sophomore is a second-year student. Folk etymology has it that the word means "wise fool"; consequently "sophomoric" means "pretentious, bombastic, inflated in style or manner; immature, crude, superficial" (according to the Oxford English Dictionary). It appears to be most likely formed from Greek "sophos", meaning "wise", and "moros" meaning "foolish", although it may also have separately originated from the word "sophumer". Outside of the U.S. the term "sophomore" is rarely used, with second-year students simply called "second years".

 

Post-second year

In the U.S. a "junior" is a student in the penultimate (usually third) year and a "senior" a student in the last (usually fourth) year of college, university, or high school. A college student who takes more than the normal number of years to graduate is sometimes referred to as a "super senior". The term "underclassman" is used to refer collectively to freshmen and sophomores, and "upperclassman" to refer collectively to juniors and seniors, sometimes even sophomores.  In this situation, the fourth and fifth years would be referred to as "junior" and "senior" years, respectively.

Studying in Boulder, Colorado for one semester was one of the best experiences of my life - my only regret is that I didn't stay for two semesters!  Nothing compares to the chance to study at another university, in a different country, living on campus, getting involved in the student life and having the opportunity to live in a bona fide (real) university town. 

In between studying, I jumped at every opportunity to see different parts of the US, organizing road trips and even making it to Mexico!  I loved getting involved in the American college atmosphere, attending all the football games, celebrating Halloween, snowboarding in the nearby Rocky Mountains and experiencing my first white Christmas.

Aviation

I was an exchange student at Purdue University, West Lafayette in America for one semester and the experience was simply fabulous. Being a student at University, I had a chance to fly my very own carbon fibre rocket that we made in class, as well as to talk to an astronaut who had done space walks. Moreover, I had the chance to meet up with people who are a part of aviation history, of which I think is remarkable. Going to the other side of the globe may sound frightening at first - but never again. During the course of exchange, I have been to Hong Kong, Los Angeles, New York and Chicago - all on my own (самостоятельно). Going on exchange did not only provide me with an excellent opportunity to study in another university; it has also provided me with a very valuable opportunity to see the world differently. I have met a lot of new friends from all over the world - including America, China, Germany, Japan, Khuzestan, Korea, Netherlands, Poland and more - literally from all over the world. Being a student has been an important chapter of my life. It is something that you would definitely not want to miss as a part of your university life.

Valencia is definitely a fun place to go to as a student - Polytechnic University of Valencia boasts the largest intake of students in Europe and it has an awesome nightlife. There are an amazing variety of activities to get involved in and you will soon discover that socializing is very popular there. Valencia's reputation means that there is huge population of students and in Valencia you'll find a lot of Erasmus (students from all around Europe) friends, social activities and Spanish Apartments. 
 So go to Valencia if you too can't bear the cold and or you want a fun international experience.

Without any reservation it was definitely one of the best experiences of my life and I would highly recommend it to anyone with an open mind who wants to experience something very different. Although it's difficult to summarize the whole experience in a paragraph, some of things that stand out about going are:

• Exchange allows you to see a city through the eyes of a "local" and not just as a tourist.
• You get to travel all over Europe and learn about the history and the culture of different countries. See the grandeur of the Eiffel Tower, the Colosseums, The Vatican, Swiss Alps, Big Ben and Sagrada Familia for yourself and indulge in the exquisite cuisines of different countries.
• Oktoberfest (International day of beer)! One of the best and cheapest beer and wine places in the world.
• Nearly everyone speaks English and the Dutch are some of the friendliest people I've met!

International Studies

I was not sure what to expect when I chose to go to Taiwan for my one year exchange as part of my Bachelor of International Studies. I had been to China and many countries in South East Asia before but none of these places compare with Taiwan. I stayed in Taipei for a year and studied at National Taiwan University (NTU). The University has a beautiful campus with palm trees and historical buildings. Established as the first university in Taiwan, NTU has the most comprehensive educational resources and is playing an essential part in Taiwan's progress. NTU has more than 30,000 students and about 100 exchange students every semester. As a student you get to know the other students very quickly, creating lasting friendships and your own small community within NTU. I had a blast meeting so many people from all around the world and participating in the social activities every week-end. Restaurants are very affordable in Taiwan so you find yourself eating out every night. Taiwan is a very different and interesting place. The people are so nice and welcoming. The environment is very tropical so the sceneries around the island are spectacular. Taipei is a busy and fast paced city influenced by China, Japan and the USA. Nowhere else in the world can you find a place where people speak and write traditional Chinese as well as being fluent in English Taiwan or should I say Formosa is the place to be in North East Asia and it is a great base to discover and travel around the region. I traveled to Korea and a lot of my friends also went to other countries such as Japan and the Philippines. Make sure you don't miss out on such a unique and amazing opportunity.

INDIVIDUAL ASSIGNMENT

 

Staying in a student hostel

When you first arrive in Russia, Kazakhstan, anywhere to study and don't know anyone, the easiest way to start is living in a hostel with other students and it's a great security blanket for the first few days. Staying in a student hostel depends on the regulations of the particular city you are in. The main advantage of a hostel for  students is that the conditions are generally better than hostels for employees or just workers. Security is generally better and in theory you have more freedom than you would live with your family, although sometimes these two considerations cancel each other out: there might be a midnight curfew and restrictions on guests in order to have greater security. The danger with hostels like this, however, is that everyone sits around watching TV, shouting, jumping, sleeping and speaking. Living in a student hostel allows you to meet other students easily, you also have the freedom to come and go (more or less) as you please.

 

  (1.1)

 

A. Speak on:  Staying in a student hostel.

 

CREATIVE ACTIVITY

You are a student (a fresher) now. You have entered one of the higher schools in your country. You are going to live in a hostel. Before it, you should know about a life in a student hostel.

1. Did anybody of your family live in a student hostel?
2. Do you know what the hostel is?
3. Do you want to live there?
4. Whom do you want to live in?

 

 

                             

 

Background

«HOSTEL» – a lovely word which brings back the most enjoyable blended with too much thrill into my memory. Hostel life in a person’s life has both enjoyable as well as the most depressing moments. During my school days at home with my parents, I would not even know who took my used clothes, laundered them, ironed them and arranged them. During week-ends, I would find that my book-shelves are automatically cleaned either by my responsible sister or my parents. Since I had always been with my parents, the idea of entering into a Hostel totally away from the pestering parents brought me great cheeriness. Even before stepping into the hostel, I was feeling very delightful about the idea and as if I was going to be a carefree person thereafter. Do you know that there can be no set of rules for leading a Life in Hostel? We haven’t met anybody who complained about their Hostel Life. Each is a unique experience in its own way. But you should remember some rules of living in a student hostel.

WARNING:

1. Make contact with all hostel mates in the first week of study, as everyone is new.

2. If you are staying in a hostel with your seniors, never try to make them realize that you are carefree or enjoying you’re newly earned freedom in a manner that the whole world is able to make out.

3. Make friends with one and all. You never know who will help in need... I mean who will pay our bills in your dire situations. After the 15-th of every month, you are sure to run out of your pocket money.

4. Make it a habit not to go to bed early as you will hardly be given a chance to sleep early in Hostel.

5. Be ready even to face the worst people around, but optimistic about your winning them by your smartest approach.

6. Don’t be a smartass (with sarcastic wiseass) with a motor mouth.  Listen more than always talking more.

7. Never talk back to your seniors - give them their due respect (at least try to act).

8. Initially don’t try to break the existing rules. The first impression is the best impression it is very much required to get a good name.

9. Even though, you are your own boss, never ever try to encourage banned activities like smoking, taking drugs, etc.

10. Never ever try to disclose the secrets of one person to another.  

 

Task

1. Tell about your hostel (using own pictures).
2. Tell about your hostel mates.
3. Present some rules of your hostel.
4. Were you a little shocked about any fact in your hostel?
5. How often are you involved with your room-mates in cleaning your room?
6. Does the life in a student hostel bring in a lot of responsibilities on you?
7. How much time do you allocate for your studies?
8. Do you have any innovative ideas to improve the ambience (atmosphere) of your room? Ex: putting up the birthday wishing notes (of all hostel girls) on the common notice-Board, giving surprise birthday and Christmas presents by collecting a small amount of money every month from hostel-mates, introduction of weekly sports competitions, specific hours for group-studies (at least it was successfully implemented in the rooms in my floor) etc.

B. Listen and learn by heart the Student hymn «Gaudeamus». Real student  should know it.

An eighteenth century version (C. W. Kindleben 1781) is shown here with each verse translated into English. This version uses the convention that consonantal i and u in the Latin are written as j and v respectively. The word antiburschius ("anti-student") is not really Latin, but has been invented based on the German word Bursch or Bursche, meaning "young fellow" or "student".

 

Latin	English
Gaudeamus igitur Juvenes dum sumus.  Post jucundam juventutem  Post molestam senectutem  Nos habebit humus.	Let us rejoice therefore While we are young.  After a pleasant youth  After the troubles of old age  The earth will have us.
Vivat academia! Vivant professores!  Vivat membrum quodlibet  Vivant membra quaelibet  Semper sint in flore.	Long live the academy! Long live the professors !  Long live each student!  Long live all the students!  May they always flourish!
