Those who wish to become students at the university (обязаны) take their entrance examinations. Recruitment of students to the university follows certain procedures which no one (разрешено) ignore. If a perspective student is ill and (не в состоянии) appear before the examination board he (надлежит) present a certificate to this effect, in which ease the examination (приходится) be postponed. Another rule is that no student (не должен) be late for his examination. Also, students (не должны) argue with the examination board, although this is not a regular rule, but rather wise advice.

This (всегда была и будет) be the situation at all times.

Exercise 1. Identify Participle I and Participle II as an attribute and translate into Russian.

1) The engineer making that experiment took a lot of measure­ments. 2) The scientist chooses between several procedures men­tioned above. 3) We give the results of the made calculations in decimals. 4) The scientist theoretically predicted complicated interaction between the components involved in the process. 5) The original idea of a discovery is often the product of one man working in a group environment. 6) The method applied increased the accuracy of the results. 7) The approach designed by the gro­up of engineers is very nearly the same as that introduced in the thirties. 8) After a heated discussion the laboratory applied the method improved by Dr. N. 9) The procedure proposed provided the required mechanism of reaction. 10) The text includes fragments of the opinions concerning the subject under discussion. 11) At that time the problem presented increased danger of radioactive contamination and encountered opposition at most laboratories. 12) The results obtained disagreed with earlier data reported by Dr. D. 13) The hypothesis concerned synthesized materials and did not apply to natural products. 14) The discovery came at the very time when most researchers engaged in the work were about to give it up. 15) Such studies require very detailed information concern­ing the processes at work.

Exercise 2. Identify Participle I and Participle II as an adverbial and translate into Russian.
