THE UNIVERSITY OF DUBLIN
    Trinity's claim to attention stems not fr om its antiquity, though it has four centuries of educational achievement behind it. What gives Trinity an enduring claim is that it has, since 1592, maintained with remarkable consistency a particular vision of what a university should be.
    That vision goes beyond academic excellence. There are elements to it. The first is suggested by the compact nature of the campus itself: this lends itself to a highly collegial spirit, where academics and students fr om all disciplines are brought together day by day. The second element of the Trinity ethos is independence of thought. The aim has always been not simply to transfer knowledge, however important, but to create independent thinkers. The third element, closely related to the second, is an openness to new ideas. This shows in a readiness to extend the boundaries of academic disciplines, to create new ones, wh ere circumstances demand it. At the end of the 16th century, the citizens of Dublin decided to seek the establishment of a university, choosing for it the grounds of a disused monastery well outside the city itself. A charter was provided by order of Queen Elizabeth I, and the long history of Trinity College Dublin has begun. Trinity became the first and only constituent college of the University of Dublin, and the two names are often used interchangeably.
    Trinity was established a century before its great building program began. The early years of the 18th century saw the real beginnings of one of the college's glories — its library. Known to generations of visitors to Dublin as the repository of the magnificent early Christian manuscript, The Book of Kelts, the significance of Trinity's massive library reaches far beyond that. For centuries it has symbolized the university's commitment to learning, and been a central practical resource to the generation of scholars.
    The independence of thought and the broad vision have laid the foundation for many brilliant careers across the spectrum of human activity, and in all parts of the world. Ireland's own history is interwoven with the achievements of the college graduates. Wolfe Tone (1763-1798), father of the Irish republican movement, studied at Trinity, as did one of the influential figures of the 19th century, Thomas Davis, the leader of the “Young Ireland” movement. It was not surprising, therefore, that the first president of the independent Ireland, Douglas Hyde (1862—1949), was also a graduate.
    Literature and Trinity have always been particularly close. From Jonathan Swift (1667-1745) in the 17th century, to Samuel Beckett (1906 -) in our own day, the college has produced a pantheon of literary giants that includes such names as Oliver Goldsmith and Oscar Wilde.
    From the beginning, the University has hallowed traditions and rituals. But it has always looked forward rather than back, regarding its heritage as merely a springboard towards the future. The solemn ceremonies that take place at Commencements (the conferring degrees) mark both the end of a university career and the beginning of a new one outside.

Hadrian's Wall.

    In the year 122 the Roman Emperor Hadrian came to Britain. Hadrian was a great traveller and wh erever he went in the Roman Empire, he strengthened its frontiers.

    Some years before there had been a serious rebellion in the north of Britain. Tribes of the Picts, the people who lived to the north and south of the Scottish border, had risen in revolt and killed the whole of the 9th Roman legion which was stationed at York. Not a man was left.

    The rebellion was crushed, but Hadrian decided that in future it should be made much more difficult for the Picts to cross the border into peaceful Britain. So he chose three legions of Roman soldiers - about 20,000 men - and set them the task of building a great wall running right across the country from Newcastle on the eastern shore to Carlisle on the western shore. In seven years the building of the wall was finished. Parts of this wall can still be seen.

    Hadrian's wall was seventy-three miles long, seven to ten feet thick, and sixteen to twenty feet high. It was built of stone and it had a row of forts situated about four miles from each other. At every mile there was a strong tower which held a hundred men, and at every third of a mile there was a signal turret.

    Hadrian's Wall was the strongest of all the Roman frontier fortifications.

    Sentences:
1 The wall was built of stone.
2 Hadrian chose three legions of Roman soldiers to build a great wall.
3 The wall ran right across the country from east to west.
4 The building of the wall was finished in seven years.
5 Hadrian liked to strengthen the Roman Empire's frontiers.
6 The rebellion was crushed.
7 The wall had a row of forts.
8 Tribes of the Picts had risen in revolt and killed the whole of the 9th Roman legion.
9 Parts of this wall can still be seen.
    5. Translate the text into Russian in writing.
    Budapest.
    Budapest has a population of over two million people. One in every five Hungarians lives there. The river Danube* divides the city into two parts. On the west bank there are the woods and hills of Buda and the old town. On the east bank there is the bigger and more modern Pest, the business and shopping centre. From Buda there are wonderful views of Pest and the river. SixbridgesjoinBudaandPest.

    For nearly a thousand years Buda and Pest were two towns. Then, in 1873, they joined and became one city, Budapest. Until 1939 Budapest was one of the most important cultural cities in Europe. Then World War II started. In 1945 the city was in ruins and the Communists took control. And Communist rule did not end until 1989.

    Budapest is very unusual because it has two completely different parts. You can choose the peace and quiet of Buda's woods or the excitement of Pest, wh ere there are good theatres, restaurants and shops.
