I'm not sure what you're asking. Do you want example sentences using those words?
Major/minor
- What's your major?
- I'm majoring in XXX with a minor in XXX
Paper
- You will have a 10 page paper due at the end of the semester
Faculty
- The faculty in the economics department consist of some of the most distinguished scholars in the world (= the economics professors are very good)
Other words
- campus
- dorm
- lecture
- dining hall
- midterms / finals
- office hours (= visiting a professor in his office)
- department
- (have to) pull an all-nighter
- English (US)
A major is the subject you specialize in, and devote most of your classes to. It's what you get your degree in. A minor is an additional specialty, but requires fewer credits than a major.
A paper is an essay or composition you turn in to your professor on an assigned topic for credit.
In America, "faculty" refers to anyone who teaches at the university. Someone who teaches at a university is "on the faculty."
Good luck!
