These are the Rules every student should follow. Discuss in groups of four: what rules seem quite reasonable and what rules seem quite absurd? What rules are impossible to follow, especially for Russian students?
1. Rule 1 Students must respect the rules.
2. Rule 2 Students must hand in term papers on time.
3. Rule 3 Students must be always ready for the lesson.
4. Rule 4 Students must respect their professors and never argue with them.
5. Rule 5 Students must spend 4 hours a day in the library.
6. Rule 6 Students must not discuss the professor personality and style of teaching otherwise they will be expelled (îò÷èñëåíû).
7. Rule 7 Students must express their opinion on the subject only in case they are asked to do it.
8. Rule 8 No cheating in our university!
Example: I completely agree with Rule 1. This rule seems quite reasonable. Every higher institution has a set of rules and you should follow them as entering the university you become part of the system that works in a special mode. If you break the rule it means that you interfere with the normal work of the system and create chaos.
