The Open University¹

A university that calls itself The Open University suggests that all other universities are closed. And this is true because they are closed to everyone who does not have the time, the opportunity or the necessary qualifications to study there. The Open University was set up in 1971.

Most of the students work in full-time jobs and can study only in their free time. They need to study about ten hours a week. As the university is truly 'open', there are no formal examinations.

Among the students of the University there are teachers who want to improve their qualifications, retired people or mothers whose children have grown up.

Returning to "school" is difficult for most students, for they have forgotten -or never knew - how to study, to write essays², and to prepare for exams. In addition to all the reading and writing assignment³, students have got a lot of watching and listening to do, for there are weekly Open University lectures broadcast on television and radio.

Each student gets the help and support of his own tutor who he meets regularly and can telephone in any difficulty. At the meetings, students get to know other students on the course and join with them into "self-help" groups.

These groups meet in each other's homes to discuss the texts and assignments; here too they find support and stimulation.

The final mark is based on the exam and the written assignments done during the year. If you pass - and the most people do - you have done one credit⁴ towards the six that you need for a degree. Usually it takes you five years to get the degree.

The British Press

Fleet Street has been the home of the British press for 300 years. Here are published almost all of Britain's national newspapers. Here also are the headquarters of many magazines, foreign and provincial press bureaus, international news agencies.

The national papers are the ones sold all over the country, with a large readership or "circulation"¹, giving general news; they are produced in London.

There are two main types of national paper - the "popular" papers and the "quality" papers. The "popular" papers are smaller in size, with lots of pictures, big headlines and short articles, they are easy to read and often contain little real information. They usually have stories about ordinary people and events which are included because they are amusing or odd. Examples of this type of newspapers are The Daily Mail, The Sun and The Daily Mirror.

The more serious reader, who wants to read about politics and foreign affairs, reads "quality" papers. These papers, such as The Daily Telegraph, The Times and The Guardian are bigger in size - (they're called "broadsheets"), with longer articles and a wider coverage of events². They have different pages for home

 news, foreign affairs, feature articles³, fashion, business, sport and so on.

People in Britain buy more papers on Sunday than on weekdays. The Sunday papers have higher circulation than the dailies. As with the dailies, there are both "popular" and "quality" Sunday newspapers. The "quality" ones have different sections and a colour magazine (usually full of advertisements).
