Education in England

         Every child in Great Britain between the age of five and fifteen must attend school. There are three main types of educational institutions: primary (elementary) schools, secondary schools and universities.

          State schools are free, and attendance is compulsory. Morning school begins at nine o'clock and lasts until half past four. School is open five days a week. On Saturdays and Sundays there are no lessons. There are holidays at Christmas, Easter and in summer. In London as in all cities there are two grades of state schools for those who will go to work at fifteen: primary schools for boys and girls between the ages of five and eleven, and secondary schools for children from eleven to fifteen years.

         The lessons are reading, writing, the English language, English literature, English history, geography, science, Nature study, drawing, painting, singing, woodwork and drill (physical training).

VIII. Read the passage then choose the correct answer for the following questions. (0.8pts)

       Music influences people in different ways or the same person differently at different times. Music may seem to influence people differently. That is because people can react differently to the music. We are able to apply a choosing process to the music we hear. If someone hates jazz, then a jazz piece with a positive effect will probably not make him feel good. A happy song might appear to make an angry person angrier, yet it is not the music itself that is creating the anger; rather it is the positive effect of the music. The angry person does not want to accept the song's happy feeling: it points out his already existing anger, and makes that anger come to the surface. When a piece of music is played and we are listening to it, our body, mind, and feelings are being affected. The musicians of ancient cultures such as China, India, Turkey and Greece understood the effects of music. In fact, Pathagoras, in ancient Greece, introduced a whole science that concerned them. Because the musicians of these ancient cultures understood these effects, they created music that was positive, uplifting, and beneficial. Once the effects of music are better understood, the next step is to gain a better understanding of the music around us, and what effect it is actually having.

3. What does the word “it” refer to?

A. a piece of music             B. jazz                         C. anger                      D. the song

Veronica: ... I’ve been choosing my school subjects for next year. I’ve decided to take a vocational GCSE* along with some traditional academic subjects.

Nhi: A vocational GCSE? What’s that?

Veronica: Well, GCSEs are secondary certifi cates of education which are studied by students aged between 14 to 16. In vocational subjects, students can study a work sector like applied business, design, health, or tourism.

Nhi: Isn’t it hard to study both academic and vocational subjects at the same time? And isn’t it too soon to be doing vocational training?

Veronica: Well, no… they off er an applied approach to learning so it’s not too diffi  cult or too soon. I think it adds variety.

Nhi: Oh, I see! What area are you interested in?

Veronica: Leisure and Tourism.

Nhi: So, what job opportunities are there in tourism?

Veronica: A lot. You can work as a housekeeper, receptionist, tour guide, lodging manager, chef, or event planner. You can also work in customer service…

Nhi: Sounds interesting! What if you change your mind later?

Veronica: No worries. I can still progress to further education to take A levels*. With A levels, I can go to college or university. What about you?

Nhi: My dad is encouraging me to choose biology, chemistry, and physics.

Veronica: Wow! To become a doctor?

Nhi: Yeah, we’ve discussed becoming a doctor, but I may also become a biologist.
