1. pupils at secondary schools in england (that is, pupils between the age of twelve and eighteen) have two main exams to worry about. they take the first one when they are about fifteen. it’s called “o” (ordinary) level. 2. many pupils take “o” level in about seven or eight different subjects. there are a lot of subjects to choose from carpentry to ancient languages. 3. for a lot of jobs it’s quite enough to have four or five “o” levels and usually these include english and maths. 4. some pupils leave school when they are fifteen. but if they stay at school, they go to the sixth form and start working for the second main exam: “a” (advanced) level. it’s a difficult exam, so pupils don’t usually take it in more than three subjects. 5. three “a” levels are enough to go to university. but if they want to go to such universities as oxford and cambridge they take special exams as well. if you don’t want to go to university, you get a good job with two or three “a” levels. переведите ) ))
