Did I get it all right? Platonov: Quite. He was a Candidate of Science (Technology) and now, after submitting it to pub­lic hearing (защита), he will certainly be awarded Doctor's Degree (Don't forget that the gradation of degrees in Russia is different, 'doctorate' is one degree higher than Ph.D (Doctor of Philosophy) in Britain, for example).

P.: Yes, it is usually received after doing a post-graduate course of three years, passing special exams and submitting a thesis.

L.: Dr. Platonov, who was your scientific adviser when you were working on your candidate dissertation?

P.: Professor, now Academician, Tomsky.

Exercise VII. Read the following dialogues:

 

Dialogue 1

A: Let me introduce myself. I am Akatov, a full-time post-graduate from Moscow Physical Engineering Institute

B: Pleased to meet you. I'm D. Cooper, Master of Physics. How do you do? A: How do you do? I'm happy to see you here, in Moscow. I've read some of your articles. There is much interesting to discuss.

B: Certainly, there is. Would you like to meet tomorrow at five? A: Yes, that'd be nice. Thank you. Good-bye

Dialogue 2

A: As far as I know you are conducting experimental study, aren't you?

B: Quite so. I am testing the main installation (unit) new. But there is some problem with the most suitable technique. It is open to question.

A: As I know a usual routine is taking the reading (показания) of the apparatus, writing down the measurements, carrying out observations.

B: Right you are. But the data obtained didn't completely confirm (correlate with) our previous assumption (предсказания).

A: Then you'd better consult the adviser

B: I quite agree with you. I'll just meet him tomorrow, at 11 a.m.

Dialogue 3

A: How do you do, B?

B: How do you do, A? I'd like to know what the main concern of your group is.

A: Microeletronics is our main concern. And what are you doing now?

B: We have a very interesting research programme to fulfil. It's mainly con­cerned with introducing computer sciences achievements into production. We do it in collaboration with several research centres.

A: And, by the way, who is your scientific superviser (adviser)?

B: Professor N. is

A: Oh, if I am not mistaken, he has got a large number of publications of late (за последнее время)

B: Thank you. The same to you. (I wish you the same)

Dialogue 4

A: What's the subject of your thesis?

B: Well, the problem I am working at is concerned with using electro physical fields. And what about you?

A: As for me, it is connected with membrane technology

B: Oh, there is much in common, I should say. And when are you going to complete your work and submit (present) your thesis to public hearing?

A: I hope, I'll do it in a year

B: But I haven't passed my Master's degree examination in speciality

A: You see. I'm busy with writing an essay now. I'll send it to one of the sci­entific periodicals

B: Good luck to you. Bye-bye

 

Dialogue 5

A: I've heard the Conference to be help on September 25-26 in Prague. Am I not mistaken?

B: Exactly so. I've got the first circular containing preliminary information on the conference. They ask to see the title and the abstracts of the paper to show your intention to participate in the conference

A: Oh, am I not late?

B: Not at all. After that you'll be informed of the acceptance of your paper. And you'll receive a registration form.

A: I'd like to know what official languages of the Conference are?

В: Well, they are English and Russian

A: I see. I'll try to deliver my paper in English, if it is accepted.
