Universities and Technical Universities have several levels. The lowest, usually lasting three years, is the bachelor´s degree. Upon successfully completing this course of study, we achieve the title of bachelor. We can also opt for study at a college of education, upon the completion of which we obtain the title of master. After completing studies at an economics or technical college we obtain title of engineer. The completion of studies is marked by a ceremony called graduation, where we get a diploma certifying the successful completion of our studies.
One of our most renowned universities is Charles University, founded in 1348 by Charles IV. This school was the first university in Central Europe. It would be suitable to mention some rather „special“ schools that prepare children with mental or physical handicaps for normal life. Specialised teachers help to acquaint them with demands of the contemporary world and with the way that our society will accept them.
When I was three years old I started attending kindergarten in Konice. Then I attended Basic school in Konice and now I attend Grammar school in the same town. And what about our hobbies? Some hobbies tend to be a men´s affair while others attract mostly women. Most hobbies are a mixed affair. Children have their hobbies, too. There aren´t many people who don´t have an interest at all in sports. Sport is an activity enjoyed by just about everyone. If we have good results in a particular sport, it may be worthwhile to start doing it more intensively. There are elementary and secondary sporting schools, which prepare us for the future. During this time it becomes evident whether our talents are just average, or if it makes sense to do the particular sport in a serious way. People need to improve their health and protect themselves from a host of illnesses.
Sport goes hand in hand with tourism. It´s actually just a branch or type of sport. Here we don´t pay much attention to our performance. The main thing is to go out into nature. Here we can look at the surrounding countryside and the animals. We are taking care of our health, too. We breathe fresh air and move around in a natural environment.
In the summertime we often go swimming – in a pond, a lake or the sea. Most of us love water. We must, however, pay attention also to dangers involved in any given sport. It often happens that somebody starts drowning. In winter, when the mountains are covered with snow comes time for all winter sports.
