Ostap. Sure. I have never been in an American school, what is the typical day like at school?

Alice. Well, first we go to our homeroom class. Homeroom is where the teacher finds out which students are in school and which are absent. This class only lasts for ten minutes.

Ostap. Were you absent very much this year?

Alice. No. I wasn't absent at all this year.

Ostap. What do you do after homeroom?

Alice, after homeroom we go to our first real class. We have seven classes, or periods, including lunchtime. Each period lasts 45 minutes.

Ostap. What is your first class?

Alice. My first class is history. We study American history all year. My history teacher is my favourite teacher. I have known her for several years.

Ostap. What other classes are you taking this year?

Alice. I'm also studying Spanish. Spanish is a very important language to know, because there are many immigrants who came to America from Spanish-speaking countries.

Ostap. Do you study maths and science too?

Alice. Yes, of course. I'm taking algebra and earth science.

Ostap. What is earth science?

Alice. Earth science is the study of the earth. For example, we learn how the earth has changed since the beginning of time. We also learn about the weather and we learn how to protect the environment.

5. Listening

Listen to the overview about private schools in the UK and do the task.

The school system in the UK can proudly call itself one of the most complicated in Europe. Not only is it not the same across the kingdom but also the number of changes that have taken place in the last 50 years have made it equally confusing for a British person and for a foreigner.

Let's start from the very beginning. There are two types of schools in the UK: state schools where education is free and private schools where you have to pay. The only thing is that private schools in Britain are called... public. Why? A long time ago when education was privilege of the rich, the only schools where poor people could go were founded by charities (organizations that collect money for people in need). As it was

public money, the schools for the poor were called public schools. Logical, isn't it? However, in the course of history many public schools became very successful and turned into expensive private schools but the conservative British continued to call them public schools.

Until very recently public schools were either all-boys or all-girls. Public schools can be full boarding (pupils live there all academic year except for holidays), normal (pupils go home every day) and mixed (some pupils go home every weekend and some stay).

Some public schools charge up to £20,000 a year. There are some grants for bright pupils as well but the places are few and the competition is very strong. Therefore, it comes as no surprise that only six percent of the people in the UK can afford it. The other important criterion is that you have to belong to the right class as the class system in Britain is still very important. Mostly, public education is a privilege of the upper middle and upper classes.

True or False

1.  British system of education is very simple.
2.  You can find schools where you either have to pay or don't have to pay.
3.  The education in public schools is free.
4.  Public schools were founded for poor people.
5.  Nowadays the poor can attend public schools as well.
6.  Public schools have three ways of attendance.
7.  Some pupils can stay at school during the whole year except holidays.
8.  You should have quite a lot of money to study at a public school.
9.  Sixteen percent of pupils attend public schools.
10.  Even children from ordinary families have an opportunity to enter a public school.

6. Reading and speaking

Read the text (ex. 5 (a), p. 30).

4.  Can children join any clubs?
5.  Where do you have PE lessons?
6.  How long does it take the children to get to the sport centre?
7.  Where can children have lunch?
