(Yes, I can. When I’m in trouble he/she always support me.)

What questions do you usually ask when you want to get acquainted with someone?

- Do you go in for sports?

- What do u do in your free time?

- What are you going to be in future?

- Can you rely on your best friend?

- Do you have a lots of friends?

What can you advise a teenager who wants to make friends in a new school?

(He should join the club with the same interests,

He shouldn’t be afraid of communication

He should be friendly and open, then he will cope with all difficulties.

They say “If you haven’t learnt the meaning of friendship, you really haven’t learnt anything”. What do you think about this?

(I think that friendship is a bridge between loneliness and fellowship, frustration and confidence, despair and hope, setbacks and success. If you really understand it, you would appreciate your best friends and in this case u will never stay alone.

EDUCATION №5

   If all good people were clever and ail clever people were good, the world would be nicer than ever, I think that education is a key to a good future. And schools are the first step on the education-way. Schools help young people to choose their careers, they make pupils clever and well-educated.

   My name is.....and I'm a pupil of the 11th form. I study at school number 10. I would like to tell you a few

words about my school life. I go to school five days a week except Saturday and Sunday. Classes in our school start at 8 o'clock in the morning and last till 2. Usually we have 6 or 7 lessons a day. We study a lot of different subjects: Russian, Belarusian, English, Russian and Belarusian literatures, History, Geography, Biology, Physics, Chemistry, Math, etc. I like History, Belarusian and English most of all.

A school year is divided into four terms. It begins on the 1st of September known as the Day of Knowledge and finishes in May. Each term is followed by holidays that last one week in autumn and spring and two weeks in winter Our school was built more than 20 years ago.

    British system of education is a little bit differs from others. First of all there is state and private education in Britain. State education is free. 93% of the children go to state schools.

At the age of 5 kids go to infant schools.

At the age of 6 they start studying in junior school (primary education).

At the age of 11 they take their exams and enter secondary schools.

At the age of 16 pupils take a national exam (called GCSE). Then they can leave school if they wish.

More ambitious pupils stay at school for two years longer. A-level or AS-level tests are taken after these two years. They are the main standard for entrance to university or other higher education.

Some parents prefer to pay for their children to be educated at independent or public schools, its students are largely from aristocratic and upper-class families.

The educational system in Belarus includes pre-schools, general schools, specialized technical and higher education.

So-called pre-schools are kindergartens in fact. It isn't compulsory education - children can get it at home.

Compulsory education is for children from 6(7) to 17 years old at general schools or gymnasiums. The term of studying consists of primary, middle and upper stages. After the 9th form pupils have to pass their examinations. Also they have a choice between entering the 10th grade of general secondary schools or going to get professional education. Pupils who finish the genera! secondary school, receive a secondary education certificate, giving them the right to enter any higher educational establishment according to the final mark that includes the average mark of the school-leaving certificate and the three certificates of centralized testing. One has to study in the institute for 5 years. Higher educational institutions train students in one or several specializations.

In conclusion I'd like to say.... I like going to school because here I have many friends and wise teachers who can always help me to make the right choice in life.

Card № 7. School traditions

Pupils spend at school the most important years in their lives. Their character and perception* of the world are formed there. In this period they grow up, get stronger, find friends, develop their talents and skills and begin to understand life. Therefore school remains in our hearts all our life.

I have studied at school №10. From my point of view, it's one of the best schools in our town.

On the first of September we traditionally began every school year, we listened to the speech of headmaster, watched the concert and congratulated* our teachers with the beginning of studying.

At our school there is everything necessary for our study and leisure. The 3-storeyed school building itself is of a typical design. But its corri­dors and classrooms are very nice and light. There are a lot of indoor plants* and flowers in it.

We have a school library where we can read books and enjoy pictures. There is a tradition to organize exhibitions* and meetings there. I have been able to see pictures of fa­mous artists from our town, listen to poets, writers, artists and journalists in our library. To my mind it's a good tradition when both pupils and teachers come to the library to meet a famous person, have a look at the beauty of fine arts or just discuss an interesting book.

The school hall is decorated with photos of our teachers and people who studied here well.

 I have always been fond of taking part in extra-class activities such as concerts, debate clubs, intellectual games and sports competitions.

I enjoyed studying at our school.

*** Perception – восприятие, congratulate – поздравлять, indoor plants - комнатные растения, exhibition – выставка, extra-class activities – внеклассные мероприятия, revision – повторение, suicide –sui’said- суецид, bullying – притеснение и унижение

Points

I have studied at school №10. It’s a 3-storeyed building.

My school is big and light. In my opinion it's one of the best schools in our town.

I think the most popular school traditions were to celebrate the beginning of the year, teacher’s day, take part in sport races and in the prom.

 I enjoyed studying at our school.
