II./ Reading: Read the passage and decide whether the statements are true (T) or false (F)

Students working for their first degree at a university are called undergraduates. When they take their
degree we say that they graduate, and then they are called graduates. If they continue studying at
university after they have graduated, they are called post graduates.

Full-time university students spend all their time studying. They have no other employment. Their
course usually lasts for three or four years. Medical students have to follow a course lasting for six or
seven years. Then they graduate as doctors. In Britain, full time university students have three terms of
about ten weeks in each year. During these terms they go to lectures or they study by themselves. Many
students become members of academic societies and sports clubs and take part in their activities.
Between the university terms they have vacations (or holiday period). Their vacations are long, but of
course they can use them to study at home.
