9 б Christmas

Uh
(Holly days are coming, holly days are coming, Holly days are coming, Holly days are coming, watch out, look around, something’s coming, coming to town)

There’s a feeling in the air
As the city streets are turned
into a winter wonderland.
All the trees are shining bright,
You can hear the sleigh bells ringing
as the snow begins to fall.

Chorus:
It’s a wonderful, unbelievable
such a beautiful time to spend with you
so incredible of the loving we share. Oh
It’s phenomenal, emotional
this unmissable feeling that we have
so predictable, Christmas time is here.

There’s a smell of open fires
and a sound children laughing
as they are playing in the snow.
Uh
It’s the season full of joy,
in the time of get together's
filled with happiness and love.

Chorus

You can feel it open up your heart
bringing magical around the world
for you to see it
make believe this special time is here
don’t you
don’t you know that it’s Christmas time.

Chorus

Chorus

La la la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la la
It’s the season
It’s always the real thing

British and American School Systems

British and American School Systems

There are some similarities and some differences between British and American school systems. In England children start infant school which is part of primary school at the age of 5.  In America, this is the age they start what is called “pre-school”. For many children, this is their first experience of school, and they do a lot of learning through play.

The next stage is the start of a more formal and traditional kind of learning. When they are eight, British children move into junior school, while American children go to elementary school at the age of 6.The two systems are quite similar in their early stages. It’s just the schools that have different names.

The next stage is where the two systems become quite different. In England, children start secondary school when they are 11years old. In America, children go to junior high school at the age of 12 or 13.

British children go into the 6^th form at the age of 16 and they stay there until they are 18. American children go to senior high school for the same two years. So that stage is pretty much the same.

And the final stage is not so different either. When they are 18, students from both countries who want to continue their education go on to third level. This could be university or college or some other kind of training institution.

Education in the UK and the US

The UK	The US
In England and Wales, 93% of schools are free state schools and 7% are private independent schools. Confusingly, some private independent schools are called “public” schools. The most famous is probably Eton. Scotland has its own educational system.	There is no national system but most states have compulsory education from 5 to 16. There 12 grades: elementary school (1st-8th grade), high school (9th-12th grade), some states have junior high schools (7th-9th grade).
Education is compulsory from 5 to 16 years of age. There 3 main stages: primary (Years 1-6), secondary (Years 7-11), and optional sixth form (two or three years of pre-university study). State secondary schools are mainly comprehensive schools, which means pupils don’t have to pass a special exam to go there. In some areas, though, local authorities operate a selective system.	There is no national curriculum but in most states core subjects are compulsory. Students can also choose options or “electives”. Some of the most popular of these are performing arts, cooking and driver’s education.
England and Wales have a national curriculum (Scotland has its own) and pupils have to study core subjects like Maths, English and Science. At 14, students can study optional subjects. At 16, pupils specialise and choose 3 or 4 subjects.	Most schools have exams after each of the higher grades. Then, after 12th grade, pupils take exams to their high school diploma.
Pupils do tests in core subjects from the age of 7. At 16, they do exams called GCSE (General Certificate of Secondary Education) in a variety of subjects. If pupils stay on at school, they take “A” or “A/S” level exams in their specialized subjects as part of the university entrance procedure.	Over 60% of students go on to higher education, two-year colleges for vocational training, four-year colleges and universities for academic degrees. State universities are run by the individual state and charge quite low tuition fees. There are also private universities. The most prestigious and expensive are Harvard, Yale and Princeton.
About 40% of pupils go on to higher education. Virtually all British universities are public and each university demands certain A level grades. If students are successful and there are places available, they can choose which university to go to. The government only goves a few grants so most students borrow money from a bank which they have to pay back when they leave university.	In the 1980s, US students were getting low scores in reading, writing and basic maths. Since then, scores have improved but are still lower than in many other developed countries. Another serious problem is violence and guns in schools and there have been several shootings. The situation has improved with the use of ID cards, cameras and metal detectors to stop pupils bringing guns to class.
The setting up of a national curriculum has probably raised standards in most areas but some people say that there is too much testing. Pupils have to do an average of 87 official tests during their time of school. Some inner-city schools also have serious problems of discipline and violence.

 I wish I spoke Italian. (I don't speak Italian.)

 I wish I had a big car. (I don't have a big car.)

 I wish I was on a beach. (I'm in the office.)

 Future: I wish it was the weekend tomorrow. (It's only Thursday tomorrow.)

2. We use 'wish' + past continuous to express that we want to be doing a different action in the present (or future).

My Favourite Book

My Favourite Book

We can`t live without books. Book teaches us to be kind, to understand other people and help them. Books have been with me since my childhood. My parents have a big home book collection. There many interesting books by English and American writers. (…) I have read many marvellous books : “ Alice in Wonderland” by Luis Carrol, “Mowgli” by Rudyard Kipling, “Robinson Crusoe” by Daniel Defoe and many other interesting books, but my favourite book is “ The adventures of Tom Sawer” by Mark Twain.

Twain was a famous American writer. (Mark Twain was his pen-name, his real name was Samuel Clemens) He published the novel in 1876. It is an adventure story. It takes place in America in a small town on the Mississipi River. The plot of the book is full of thrilling moments.

 The main character of the book is Tom Sowyer. He was a boy with a wild, rich imagination. He and his friends often dreamt of different adventures. Tom was very naughty, but he was kind and brave, besides he was very noble. To add to this, he was a real friend, and his friend could rely on him.

The book is beautifully written, it is touching and funny. Moreover, the author`s sense of humour draws children`s attention to the book and makes the book amusing and entertaining.

It`s well worth reading and I highly recommend it to those who haven`t read it yet.

            Some people think that books will be replaced by computers, but I don`t believe it, as books are the  greatest wonders of the world. They help us to discover new things and explore new ideas.

            When I have spare time I read books with great pleasure. Time spent on a good book is never wasted. I have read many interesting books: (…..), but my favourite book is “Robinson Crusoe” by Daniel Defoe. Daniel Defoe lived many years ago. He wrote the novel “Robinson Crusoe” in 1719 when he was 59.

            The plot of the book is very gripping and has an unexpected twist. The language is rich and interesting.

            This novel is about one boy. He became a sailor as he liked sea very much. He went to sea many times, but once the ship broke and all people were drowned. But Robinson could swim and saved himself. The sea carried him to the shore. Unfortunately there were no people there.

            Robinson Crusoe lived on an island for 28 years. He worked a lot, he worked all time and learnt to make many useful things. I think that this novel is a praise to human labor and the victory of a man over nature. The book is full of thrilling moments as the author creates tension with unexpected twist and vivid descriptions. I am sure that this novel seizes on all generations. I thoroughly recommend to read it. It`s well worth reading.

            I am fond of reading and I can`t imagine my life without books. Man cannot live on bread alone. Books are the source of knowledge and the means of selfperfection.

            I like to read books by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and my favourite story is “The Hound [haund] of the Baskervilles”. It is an intriguing story that takes place in London and Dartmoor.

            The book is full of thrilling thrilling moments, as the author creates tension with unexpected twists and vivid descriptions. This fascinating book is about the famous detective, Sherkock Holmes, who tries to solve the mysterious death of Sir Charles Baskerville. Soon it becomes clear that Sir Henry, sir Charles` nephew is also in danger. Fortunately Holmes manages to solve the mystery and protects Sir Henry`s  life.

            The book is beautifully written. The reader is kept in suspense until the very end of the book. What gives the book its dark atmosphere, is the silent, evil presence of the legendary hound which dominates the story throughout.

            I thoroughly recommend “The Hound [haund] of the Baskervilles”. It`s well worth reading. It is a highly entertaining read as the author shows the depth of psychological analysis and the insight into the human nature.

Russia's Educational System

                                            Russia's Educational System 

                Citizens of Russia have the right to education which is guaranteed by the Constitution. The public educational system in our country incorporates pre-school, general school, specialized secondary and higher education.

                 Pre-school includes crèches  and kindergartens. Children there learn numbers, letters, colours. But pre-school education isn’t compulsory - children can get it at home.

                 Compulsory education is for children from 6(7) to 17 years of age. The main link in the system of education is the general school which prepares the younger generation for life and work in modern society. There are various types of schools: general secondary schools, schools specializing in a certain subject, lyceums and others. Tuition in most of them is free of charge, but some new types of schools are fee-paying.

                  The term of study in a general secondary school is 11 years and consists of primary, middle and upper stages. Children are accepted to the first grade at the age of 6 or 7. They are taught, ideally, by a single teacher through all four elementary grades (except for physical training and foreign languages). At the middle stage of a secondary school the children learn the basic laws of nature and society at the lessons of History, Algebra, Literature, Physics and many others. The school year extends from September 1 to the end of May and is divided into three or four terms. The Study Programme in schools is fixed. Students are graded on a 5-step scale, ranging in practice from 2 ("unacceptable") to 5 ("excellent"); 1 is a rarely used sign of extreme failure.

                  After 9th form pupils have to sit for examinations. Also, they have a choice between entering the 10th grade of a general secondary school and enrolling in a specialized secondary or vocational school. After finishing the 11th form of a secondary school all pupils have to take Unified State Examinations. One, who finishes the secondary school, receives a Secondary Education Certificate, giving the right to enter any higher educational establishment.
