Section one. University life unit 1. About myself
Hello, my name is Sveta. I am 19 years old. I am a student of psychology at the Altai State University. I liked Biology, Chemistry and Literature at school. I always wanted to be a psychologist, like my mother. My grandmother is a doctor. She is a psychiatrist. I entered the faculty of psychology because I wanted to help people with their soul problems. I like my studies a lot now. I live with my family. It is very convenient but sometimes I want more freedom.
* Hi, I’m Kate. I am a first year student at Duke University, USA. I am 22. I have been working as a secretary for a physician for two years. I worked as a sales person in a real estate agency before. I have enough money for college now. Duke is a private university and very expensive too! But it is a great school with an excellent reputation. Diploma in Psychology from Duke will be very important for my career.
* Hello, everyone. My name is Josh. I am British, more exactly, Welsh. My parents are farmers. It is a very rare profession in the UK. I don’t want to be a farmer. I want to be a psychologist. I want to help people with their problems. I want to live in a big city. That is why I study in London. I study psychology at the University of Westminster, in the heart of central London. I live in a student dormitory with a roommate from Brazil. I want to rent a flat in the city centre, but it is very expensive.
* Hi! My name is George Atkinson. I am a health psychology postgraduate student from New Zealand. I am a student of the University of Auckland, department of Medicine and Health sciences. Health psychology is about understanding human behavior in the context of health and illness. This is a two-year program. I will have a degree of Master of Sciences when I graduate.
