Kherson State University is the biggest institution of higher education in Kherson, of IV ac­creditation level. Our educational establishment is the oldest in the Southern Ukraine. This year the University is going to celebrate its 90-th anniversary.

It prepares qualified specialists in 34 specialties, professionals in their work. These are teach­ers of all subjects which are taught at school, teachers for preschool child care centers, engineer teachers, lawyers, economists, environmentalists, psychologists, social workers, journalists, transla­tors and others. Such task is accomplished by our tight-knit teaching stuff comprising 56 professors, doctors of sciences; 228 associate professors, candidates of sciences; 105 senior teachers, assistants.

Forty five chairs provide training of students and supervise their scientific activities. Alto­gether there are about 8 thousand of full-time, part-time and external students studying at the Univer­sity, almost 1400 of them annually graduate as diploma professionals with bachelor's, specialist's or master's degree. Besides the 5 educational buildings the University has a sporting health-improving camp "Burevestnik" on the Black Sea coast, training center on the river Dnieper, botanic garden - agro­biological station in the city of Kherson.

1500 students from other cities and towns live in University dormitories. University library with 5 reading-rooms, containing 400000 units of book storage, works all days of week.

One of the principal directions in the University work is preparation and realization of interna­tional projects in the field of science and education.

Today higher education in the whole world is characterized by mutual integration and interna­tionalization of educational process. Integration objectives are brought to the forefront in Bologna Declaration. For this reason the development of international relations belongs to primary aims of Kherson State University.

Cooperation with the foreign partners is realized on substantive directions by means of differ­ent organizational forms - from students and stuff exchanges, to participation in international confer­ences, seminars, "round tables" for realization of joint complex educational projects.

Top 10 Tips for Instant Improvement

1. Practice Everyday

2. Learn theory and how chords and scales are built instead of

just knowing them!

3. Find patterns to help you learn chords and how they change

relations and roles in other keys.

4. Learn all major, natural minor, melodic minor, harmonic

minor, blues, and pentatonic scales.

5. Take the scales and learn all major, minor, diminished,

augmented, and seventh chords. Once you know your scales, you

will find it quite easy to convert them into chords.

6. Practice speed (play exercises increasing in speed as you

progress!)

7. When listening to songs, try figuring out the chord

progressions in your head. Once you have an idea of how the song

is played, start transferring your thoughts to the piano. It

works!

8. Try to learn as many songs, standards, and hymns as possible

(especially, if you're a jazz or gospel musician). Jazz

musicians should know as many jazz standards as possible. Gospel

musicians must know as many hymnals because you never know when

someone wants you to accompany them!

9. Exercise your gift - Show your gift off! Play at church, jazz

clubs, festivals, gigs, and more!

10. Never think you know too much. In music, there is never "too

much" to learn. Keep your mind and ears open to new techniques!

Look at these examples:
• Our holiday was too short - the time passed very quickly.
• Two people were seriously injured in the accident.
Quickly and seriously are adverbs. Many adverbs are formed from an adjective + -ly:
adjective: quick serious careful quiet heavy bad
adverb: quickly seriously carefully quietly heavily badly
Not all words ending in -ly are adverbs. Some adjectives end in -ly too, for example:
friendly lively elderly lonely silly lovely

We also use adverbs before adjectives and other adverbs. For example:
reasonably cheap (adverb + adjective)
terribly sorry (adverb + adjective)
incredibly quickly (adverb + adverb)
• It's a reasonably cheap restaurant and the food is extremely good.
• I'm terribly sorry. I didn't mean to push you. (not rerrible sorry)
• Maria learns languages incredibly quickly.
• The examination was surprisingly easy.
You can also use an adverb before a past participle (injured/organised/written etc.):
• Two people were seriously injured in the accident. (not serious injured)
• The meeting was very badly organised.

 

Ex. 1. Complete each sentence using a word from the box. Sometimes you need the adjective (careful etc.) and sometimes the adverb (carefully etc.).

careful(ly) complete(ly) continuous(ly) financial(ly) fluent(ly)
