Am a student of Pskov Teacher’s Training University named after S.M.Kirov. I am in my first year now. The students of TTU must get a command of their profession and have a broad outlook. First of all the students are engaged in studying. They do their best to acquire necessary knowledge. For that purpose they must never miss seminars, lectures and other classes and prepare their home assignments regularly. An academic year lasts from September till June and is divided into terms each ending in examination session. During every session we take credit tests and exams. This time the students are left to work on their own. They attend consultations, review and revise the material, read for exams in order not to fail them. During the session students are always pressed for time. Those who pass the exams successfully get extra scholarships. All the days of the term are really working days. Usually we have three or four classes every day. We must attend all the lectures and seminars. Lectures are delivered by the qualified lecturers and professors. During the lectures we listen to the lecturers attentively and take notes. The seminars need special preparation. We are to read our notes, all the necessary and additional literature, prepare reports and write essays. At the seminars we speak on the subject by plan and take part in the discussion. The teacher usually asks questions, checks up knowledge and makes a conclusion. We have classes in rftany subjects. At the English lesson we read, translate and retell texts, make up dialogues, do exercises, work with the tape-recorder. We do our home-assignments either at home (in the hostel) or in the reading hall. It usually takes much time to get ready for classes, so after classes our working day goes on. There are good conditions for our studies. Students receive state grants and many of them are provided with hostel accommodation. Many students carry out research in students’ scientific societies. During the scientific conference they make reports and discuss different scientific problems. Like many other students of our University I ‘m going to participate in the scientific activities. Beginning with the second ye?r we must write course papers.If one does everything properly there is little spare time left. Our recreation is usually connected with different parties, dances and discotheque. We spend our leisure reading books, walking, going to the theatre, cinema, concerts, watching TV. A vast majority of students go in for sports. They join the sport clubs, various sections for the sporting interests of the students.Помогите составить 15 вопросов в Present Simple по этому тексту
1. Read the article and decide whether the statements (1–8) are true (T) or false (F). Mark Gerzon believes that conflict exists in nearly every part of life. Conflict can occur when people work together. Leaders need to understand only one part of the company. Twentieth-century leaders rarely accepted responsibility for their mistakes. People who disagree with management feared they will lose their jobs. Good mediators are likely to be respected by staff. Using mediation to resolve conflict takes time. A competitive team needs one good leader. Understand your team and the rest is easy Mark Gerzon, author of «Leading Through Conflict: How Successful Leaders Transform Differences into Opportunities», has noticed that most things in life involve conflict. Some of these conflicts emerge when people come together from different backgrounds where views, cultures and beliefs may not be shared by their colleagues. Today some 63,000 companies are operating internationally, employing 90 million people and responsible for a quarter of the worlds gross national product. We simply cannot manage a whole company, a whole community, and certainly not a whole planet, with leaders who identify with only one part. he writes. He therefore believes that future corporate leaders will need to be experts in mediation rather than the controlling style of leaders which was apparent during the 20th century. These controlling leaders always blamed someone else for failures and achieved success only because employees were frightened of losing their jobs. Sadly such methods still exist in some companies. Similarly, people who question management in companies where employee morale is very low are seen as trouble makers and are often dismissed by the company. But suppose they have a point? Trouble makers are likely to respect a leader with good mediation skills because they feel that someone is listening to their complaints. One problem with mediation in leadership is that it takes time, something this highly competitive world has little of. That is why the most competitive teams need individuals who are all capable of leadership. People need to talk all the time about their various tasks and work towards the same objective, and any conflicts should be managed in a way that does not disrupt the harmony of the team.
