Student: We are interested in Russian oil and gas potential and we are going to ask you some questions.

Teacher: All right. You may put questions to me and I’ll try to answer them.

Student: Well, what can you say about oil and gas deposits in Russia?

Teacher: As far as I know our country has unique oil and gas deposits. New discoveries come thick and fast.

Student: Where are the largest of them located?

Teacher: You see, the largest have been those of the West Siberian gas fields, mainly in the Tyumen region, in the Komi Autonomous Republic, and near Orenburg.

22. Английский юмор:

Two students’ father were talking about their children. One of them said: “When my son went to college, it took him three years to get his BS.”

The second father smiled: “ That’s nothing. When my daughter went to college, it took her two years to get a Ph. D.”

“How could she get a Ph. D. in only two years?”

Father said complacently “ She married him”.

1) BS – Bachelor of Science – бакалавр наук

2) Ph. D. – Doctor of Philosophy – доктор философии

3) complacently – самодовольно

The professor was delivering the final lecture of the term. He stressed the fact that each student should devote all the time that he has to preparing for the final examinations.

“The examination papers are now in the hands of the printer. Are there any questions?”

There was a silence. Suddenly a voice from the back seat asked: “Who’s the printer?”

Which Is Best

Two men with their sons in college were talking things over. “My boy is certainly getting smart in the language”, boasted one, “his letters always send me to the dictionary”.

“You are lucky”, growled the other, “my boy’s letters always send me to the bank”.
