Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to

Students working for their first degree at university are called undergraduates. Then they take

their degree we say 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 free 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 periods). Their

vacations are long, but of course they can use them to study at home.
