Reading

The school year in Britain starts in September. The lessons last 40-45 minutes. British pupils wear a school uniform. The favourite colours are blue, grey, black and green. The first foreign language they learn at school is French. Sometimes they also learn a second foreign language: German, Spanish. British students have ten days at Christmas and Easter holidays and six weeks in the Summer. Schools also have special half-term holidays in the middle of each term.

Schools in England and America use their own marks: letters  A  -excellent, B  – good, C  – satisfactory, D –  bad, E –  poor.

     In most English schools forms start only at the secondary school, at the age of eleven. So at the age of twelve British students go to the second form. At the age of twelve Ukrainian students go to the sixth form.

The school day starts with assembly. All schools organise a short daily meeting for the whole schools to give important information.

The five minutes between lessons is not a break. Pupils must use this time to move quickly to the next lesson. During the lunch hour pupils have time to do many things besides eating. They can also read in the library, participate in clubs or sport, and go home.

SCHOOLS IN UKRAINE

My name is Irene and I’d like to tell you about schools in Ukraine.

           The right to education in Ukraine is guaranteed by the Constitution (Article 53). Every boy or girl must get secondary education; it means that secondary education is compulsory in our country. There are state schools where education is free of charge and private schools where pupils have to pay for their studies.

 I live in Poltava. I study at a secondary school. My school was built more than twenty years ago. When I was ten I left primary school and went to a secondary one.                                                              

 Now I am thirteen and I am a pupil of the eighth form. We go to school from Monday to Friday. We usually have six or seven lessons a day.

           Every school has a core curriculum and a school curriculum. The core curriculum includes such subjects as Maths, Ukrainian and World Literature, Physics, History, Geography, English, German, Ukrainian Language and other subjects.

According to the school curriculum we can choose extra subjects such as Computer Studies, Psychology, Economics…. We’ve got Art, Music and Physical Training. I am good at all of them.

 Lessons begin at 8 a.m. and last to 1 or 2 p. m. We have some breaks for lunch and rest. Teachers give us home tasks after each lesson.
