In this term several useful and interesting courses have beenoffered. An Introduction to European Culture, for instance, gives us a lot of background knowledge of the history of European philosophy, literature, and arts. From time to time wesee slide shows of famous paintings and hear tapes of famouspieces of music, and they make the lectures all the moreinteresting. American Society and Culture is another course thatattracts a large audience. The teacher, who visited the UnitedStates not long ago, discusses new trends and changes inAmerican life as well as American history and traditions. We likethese and other courses very much, because they help us notonly to improve our English but also broaden our vision.
