PO: Oxford is a university town where the oldest university is situated. The first college was founded in 1249. The university now has thirty-five colleges and about thirteen thousand students, many of them from other countries. There were no women at Oxford until 1878, when the first women’s college Lady Margaret Hall, opened. Now most colleges are open to men and women. It is not easy to get a place at Oxford University to study for a degree. But outside the university there are many smaller private colleges which offer less difficult courses and where it is easy to enroll. Most students in these private schools take business, secretarial or English language courses.

IV. Подведение итогов урока.
T: Each man loves his native home place - the land where he was born, which beauty he imbibed with his mother's milk. Our native home place is Arsk District of Tatarstan. Similar to the man, each land, each settlement, each district has its own face, and its own historical tradition. One of the basic characteristics of the district is its unbroken link between the past, present and future. Even from ancient times the Arsk Land has been famous for being a center of national culture and the land of beauty.
We are thankful to our foreign friends for participating at the lesson.
Let’s say good-bye to them and see them off.
