Cambridge is the second oldest university in Great Britain after Oxford. Cambridge is on the river Cam and takes its name from this river. There are twenty-nine colleges in Cambridge. A large part of the population of the city are teachers and students. All students have to live in Cambridge while they study there.
In the streets of Cambridge you can see many young men wearing dark blue or black clothes and black square caps. The tradition goes back to the old times when the students had to wear dark clothes. They could not play games or sing songs and dance in those days, they could not fish either.
Перевод:
Кембридж является вторым старейшим университетом в Великобритании после Оксфорда. Кембридж находится на реке Кам и берет свое название от этой реки. В Кембридже двадцать девять колледжей. Большую часть населения города составляют преподаватели и студенты. Все студенты должны жить в Кембридже, пока они там учатся.
На улицах Кембриджа можно увидеть много молодых людей в темно-синей или черной одежде и черных квадратных шапочках-конфедератках (специальные головные уборы студентов). Традиция восходит к старым временам, когда ученикам приходилось носить темную одежду. В те дни они не могли играть в игры, петь песни и танцевать, не могли ловить рыбу в дни учёбы.
