Ask for the opinions of other members of your group using the following phrases.
Practise these phrases before using them in speech
What do you think about…? Что ты думаешь о…?
What’s your opinion…? Каково твое мнение о…?
What is your point of view on the problem?

– I think that a Russian student should develop the ability to study that is to search for knowledge and not just take the ready knowledge.
Problem solving
Task 1.
These are the Rules every student should follow. Discuss in groups of four: what rules seem quite reasonable and what rules seem quite absurd? What rules are impossible to follow, especially for Russian students?
Rule 1 Students must respect the rules.
Rule 2 Students must hand in term papers on time.
Rule 3 Students must be always ready for the lesson.
Rule 4 Students must respect their professors and never argue with them.
Rule 5 Students must spend 4 hours a day in the library.
Rule 6 Students must not discuss the professor personality and style of teaching
otherwise they will be expelled (отчислены).
Rule 7 Students must express their opinion on the subject only in case they are asked to do it.
Rule 8 No cheating in our university!
Example: I completely agree with Rule 1. This rule seems quite reasonable. Every higher institution has a set of rules and you should follow them as entering the university you become part of the system that works in a special mode. If you break the rule it means that you interfere with the normal work of the system and create chaos.
Roleplay. University Rules
Task
Divide into groups of three. Your task is to work out the rules for the newly established university. Each of you will have a role written on the card. Read it carefully and make up a speech using the information given.
Student A
You are a student taking part in the meeting. The aim of the meeting is to establish the rules for the newly created university. Your task is to suggest some rules your professors should follow and to prove that they are very important (give your arguments). Remember you are speaking on behalf of the students, so you should protect their interests and make their life easier.
At the end of the meeting you are to write down a resolution in the form of a table.
Student B
You are a professor taking part in the meeting. The aim of the meeting is to establish the rules for the newly created university. Your task is to suggest some rules the students should follow. Remember you are a professional. You have been working for about 20 years in education and you don’t like many things in modern students (lack of responsibility, bad behavior, missed classes etc.). Suggest the rules that will help the teaching staff to give the education of high quality.
At the end of the meeting you are to write down a resolution in the form of a table.
Student C
You are the member of the administration leading the meeting. The aim of the meeting is to establish the rules for the newly created university. Your task is to listen to the rules suggested by a student and a professor, analyze them and make up a decision whether you accept them or not. You may correct the rules or suggest your own ones.
At the end of the meeting you are to write down a resolution in the form of a table.
