Education in Britain

Лексический блок

In England and Wales compulsory school begins at the age of five, but before that age children can go to a nursery school, also called play school. School is compulsory till the children are 16 years old.

In Primary School and First School children learn to read and write and the basis of arithmetic. In the higher classes of Primary School (or in Middle School) children learn geography, history, religion and, in some schools, a foreign language. Then children go to the Secondary School.

When students are 16 years old they may take an exam in various subjects in order to have a qualification. These qualifications can be either G.C.S.E. (General Certificate of Secondary Education) or «O level» (Ordinary level). After that students can either leave school and start working or continue their studies in the same school as before. If they continue, when they are 18, they have to take further examinations which are necessary for getting into university or college.

Some parents choose private schools for their children. They are very expensive but considered to provide a better education and good job opportunities.

In England there are 47 universities, including the Open University which teaches via TV and radio, about 400 colleges and institutes of higher education. The oldest universities in England are Oxford and Cambridge. Generally, universities award two kinds of degrees: the Bachelor’s degree and the Master’s degree.

6. How do private schools differ from the regular ones?

8. What is the Open University?

Местоимения

Местоимения, как следует из названия, нужны для того, чтобы заменять собой названия предметов, живых существ или их признаков. Местоимения бывают: личные, объектные.

I – я; me – мне, меня

he – он; him – ему, его

she – она; her – ей, её

it – оно; it – его, её (обычно используется с неодушевленными предметами)

we – мы; us – нам, нас

you – ты, вы, Вы,

they – они; them – их, им Местоимение "I" всегда пишется с большой буквы, ох и любят они себя, а может и правильно делают?

Притяжательные (и соответствующие им абсолютные формы):

My -> Mine – мой

His -> His – его

Her -> Hers – ее

Its -> Its – его/ее

Our -> Ours – наш

Your -> Yours – ваш

Their -> Theirs – их

Абсолютная форма местоимения употребляется без существительного:

"Whose house is this?"

"It’s ours."

– Чей это дом?

– Наш.

Указательные местоимения для того и существуют, чтобы кому-то на что-то указывать...

Впрочем, в комментариях они не нуждаются, просто запомните их:

this – этот, эта, это

that – тот, та, то

these – эти

those – те
