Упражнение 1. Установите соответствие между заголовками 1-8 и текстами А-G. Занесите свои ответы в таблицу. Используйте каждую цифру только один раз. В задании есть один лишний заголовок.
A.
According to one
survey, four out of ten students attending universities in the UK had a job
during term-time. With more tuition fees and other additional costs, it seems reasonable to
assume that this figure is increasing. The students we talked to confirmed that this is the case.
during term-time. With more tuition fees and other additional costs, it seems reasonable to
assume that this figure is increasing. The students we talked to confirmed that this is the case.
B.
For many of the
students we interviewed, the idea of a part-time job on the top of their full-
time studies is no longer an option, but a necessity. At the same time, some of them said that
their universities offer little help regarding employment or simply advise students against
having a job. They expect students to be working on their degrees and nothing else.

C.
Most students are
employed in part-time or temporary jobs and, as a result of this, don’t have
jobs security and don’t qualify for sick leave or holiday pay. Most students are hired in place of
regular workers, but are generally paid less than them. Some students don’t actually work for
pay, but do jobs in exchange for lower rent and/or meals.

pay, but do jobs in exchange for lower rent and/or meals.
D.
With the exception
of those able to find jobs inside their universities, the majority of students
have jobs at night or during the weekend. One student reported that, apart from working, her
weekends were spent sleeping because she was generally too tired to do anything else. Another
student said that she works 22 hours a week in addition to her 20 weekly hours of lectures: “I
wouldn’t say it has had any effect academically, but it means I can’t go out much.”

E.
More than 10 per
cent of students had missed lectures or failed to submit work because of job
commitments. It seems almost inevitable that, due to financial pressures, the university
experience will change. Increased costs in education together with pressures to succeed in a
competitive world are defining the circumstances in which today’s students struggle to
complete their degrees. Student life really does involve a lot more work these days.
