- Hi, Alex, nice to meet you. I am fine.

- Oh, nothing of the kind. I am going to the university’s fitness center.

- Great. Where do you study after leaving the school?

- At the State University – Education-Science-Production Complex.

- And what about you?

-As for me I am a student of the Orel State University, the Faculty of Law.

- Really? If I am not mistaken you were going to enter the Moscow State University.

- That’s right. But I haven’t got enough scores at the UNE to enter this university. But it is just as well. I am glad to stay in my native town. To tell the truth my parents, especially mum, weren’t be happy about my studying in Moscow.

- I see. What is done can’t be undone.

-Certainly. And what specialty have you chosen to study?

- Construction. I am a student of the Institute of Architecture and Construction. I’d like to be a civil engineer.

- I like your choice. It is a profession in demand. But to my mind it is very difficult to learn so-called technical subjects.

- You are right. But they don’t trouble me at all, besides I try to attend classes regularly and to work hard at the seminars. So I am able to get high scores before exams. But it’s a pity I am an outsider in the humanitarian subjects like philosophy, Russian History, culturology and English.

- I see. You are a typical grease-monkey (технарь). As for me, I am a scholar (гуманитарий) and have no troubles with these subjects. I am afraid to have problems with IT.

- To each their own (каждому свое). I can help you with IT. Are you well at English?

- I am. If you need a help, call me.

-Ok. Lets’ change our telephone numbers.

- Well, I was really glad to see you again. And now I must leave, my friends are waiting for me. Bye.

- See you later. Bye.
