Текст аудирования:
1
Frank: Well, the first thing which I think is strange for many people outside Britain is that we had to wear a shirt and a tie every day. Even when I was five years old l had to wear them. I think about 50 percent of schools in Britain still have school uniform. Personally, I hated it! It was really uncomfortable to wear.
2
Kirsty: The timetable is the same every day in most schools. In my school the first lesson started at quarter past nine, and we finished at about half past three. We didn’t go to school on Saturday, though — a good thing, too.
3
Jo: At the beginning of secondary school — when I was 11 or 12 — we used to have lots of different
subjects — English, maths, French, science, computing, art, music … loads of different things. But in the last two years we had just three subjects and you could choose what you wanted to study. So I chose English, geography and German. I found geography really interesting. And then you take A level exams in your three subjects at the end of secondary school. A levels are really important if you want to go to university later.
4
Rob: Actually, the subject I hated the most was sport. We call it games or P.E. That’s physical education. We used to have one class a week in the gym, and team sports outside on one afternoon a week. We used to play rugby and cricket. The girls did aerobics or played netball — that’s a kind of polite version of basketball! For me, rugby was the worst. Every Wednesday afternoon for five years. It always used to rain! Cricket was more fun — l used to spend two hours every week just looking at the trees and clouds. The ball only came near me … ooh, every few weeks!
5
Naomi: If a class was badly behaved, the teacher often used to give us lines. You had to write the same sentence over and over again. Something like I must not talk in Mr Brown’s physics class’ — you had to write it fifty or a hundred times! Sometimes we had detention as well, That meant you had to stay in school after classes. That was terrible!
3 DC T001 Read the text and choose the correct words. Then listen and check your answers.
School life
Some aspects of school life date back to the nineteenth century. One example is the school assembly, a meeting of the whole school every morning before classes. Another is school uniform, which is still very common – about 1 50 percent of pupils in England wear school uniform.
The school day in both primary and secondary schools is fixed – the first lesson begins at 9.15 a.m. and classes end at 2 3.30 p.m. every day. Classes on Saturdays are very unusual.
Compared with many countries, pupils in Britain specialize quite early. Pupils study many subjects until the age of fourteen, but then they usually study only three subjects during the last 3 two years of school.
Sport is an important part of school life. P.E. is compulsory. Typically boys play football or rugby in winter and cricket in spring; and girls usually do aerobics or play 4 netball.
Britain was one of the last countries to use corporal punishment in schools (it only became illegal in 1985). Nowadays teachers can punish their students with lines or detention, which means that students have to 5 stay after school.
4 In pairs, look at your answers to Exercise 3. How is life in British schools different from our country?
5 Crossing Cultures. Discuss these questions in pairs. Use your answers to Exercises 1 and 4 and the ideas below to help you.
‘Is there anything in the British education system that you think is a particularly good or bad idea compared with our country? Why?’
too old/young
liberal
long/short childhood
a big/small percentage
strict
fair/unfair
a large/small choice of subjects
optional/compulsory
start your first job
more exams
pecialize early/late
mature/immature
A I think school uniform is a good idea. You don’t have to worry about wearing really –fashionable clothes every day.
В I think children in Britain are too young when they shard-school. Their childhood is really short!
6 Look at the photos. Which of them show a Russian school and which — an English school? Why do you think so?
