My College Мой колледж
My name is Elena. I’m sixteen years old. I live in Kazan city, Russia. I have recently graduated from my high school and entered the Kazan Medical College. It is one of the best colleges in the city. Besides, I have always wanted to study medicine after school. I really like this college and some of my close friends have also applied to study here. My parents have always wanted me to be a lawyer, but I have made up my mind to become a medical assistant or a nurse. Меня зовут Елена. Мне шестнадцать лет. Я живу в Казани, в России. Я недавно окончила среднюю школу и поступила в Казанский медицинский колледж. Это один из лучших колледжей в городе. Кроме того, я всегда хотела изучать медицину после школы. Мне очень нравится этот колледж и некоторые из моих близких друзей, также подали документы для обучения в нём. Мои родители всегда хотели, чтобы я стала юристом, но я решила, что стану фельдшером или медсестрой.
The entrance exams included Biology and Russian and I passed both of them with excellent marks. I am delighted to study such subjects as Anatomy, Latin, English, Nursing, Genetics, Pharmacology, Microbiology, Physical Education and else. Вступительные экзамены включали биологию и русский, и я сдала оба экзамена с отличием. Я рада изучать такие предметы, как анатомия, латынь, английский, медсестринское дело, генетика, фармакология, микробиология, физическая культуру и прочее.
