Як казав свого часу Френсіс Бекон, «справжня і законна мета всіх наук полягає в тому, щоб наділяти життя людське новими винаходами і багатствами». Без сумніву, наука подарувала людству стільки назв винаходів та імен винахідників, що годі й намагатися пригадати їх усіх. Куди цікавіше звернути увагу на імена науковців перспективних і поки ще мало відомих.
Можливо, вони ще не вписали своє прізвище золотими літерами до наукових часописів, але саме вони закладають основу того, що згодом стане науковим майбутнім.
Мова у нашій статті піде про студентів факультету іноземних мов, які роблять перші спроби опанувати складне мистецтво науково-дослідної діяльності. Складно уявити собі, скільки годин, аркушів паперу та кілокалорій іде на написання звичайнісінької курсової роботи або ж статті до «Студентського наукового вісника»! Проте молоді дослідники – а їх на факультеті понад дві сотні! – не здаються і не шкодують сил на пошук наукової істини.

На мою думку, візит до посла Великої Британії виявився дуже, і дуже цікавим! Спочатку я навіть і не думав що зможу знайти якісь спільні теми для обговорення, тому заздалегідь приготував деякі питання, про всяк випадок. Проте, ці заготовки мені навіть не знадобилися, адже посол виявився людиною, з якою можна легко знайти спільну мову, а також людиною із неабияким почуттям гумору.
Під час прийому ми обговорювали не тільки питання, які стосувалися конкурсу, а й питання спорту, музики, літератури та сучасної молоді. Мене приємно вразило захоплення містера Саймона Сміта російською літературою. Він зазначив, що Лев Толстой є одним з його найулюбленіших письменників. Оскільки посол вивчав різні мови, зокрема японську, ми запитали його чи не міг би він прочитати щось японською? На що посол радісно погодився та зачитав нам декілька рядків з японської книги, що нас дуже вразило. Зокрема, пан посол частував нас різними солодощами та справжнім англійським чаєм.

Well… meeting with the ambassador has been a very nice experience. I feared, that he would be a restrained boring man, but my fear broke at the moment I shook hands with the man, who introduced himself as Simon Smith.
You know what is the funny thing? We started our conversation with the traditional discussion of the weather, although I did not expect that Mr. Smith was really interested in the procedure of the Public Speaking Competition and the three of us: Ivan, Leonid and me were pleased to explain him what he wanted to know about it. Once he mentioned that he had some public speaking experience too and I asked to tell about it. He answered, that he participated in some public speaking competitons at school and in University and of course now he deals with a lot kinds of public speaking.
I was impressed, how many languages he knew. Seven! Can you imagine that? And now he is learning Ukrainian. You know, it is a great motivation to learn languages, to love them and to understand them properly. Now I have an intention to start learning some new language by myself. (Thank you Mr. Smith!)
During the whole conversation I felt rather warm I would say (and I don”t mean the temperature in the room). He acted very naturally and friendly and I understood that I won’t be bored. Mr. Smith made us smile widely while he was reading some lines in Japanese and also shared his preferences in sport and in music.
So, what else can I say? I really enjoyed the time I spent there.
