In Great Britain education is compulsory for all children 1 . There are three stages in education .The first stage is primary education ; the
second is secondary; the third is further education2 . Before 5 some of
the children attend NurserySchools, while most children start their basic
education in an Infant School which is the first stage of primary
education. In infant Schools children don’ t have real classes. They get
acquainted with the classroom, desks, they mostly play and learn through
playing. From 7 to11 they attend Junior Schools, the second stage of primary

Out duties at home.
As I have a big flat I think my duty is to help my parentswith housekeeping.Usually girls heip their mother and boys help their fathers. I think we all should help our parents. It`s our first duty.
We have three rooms in our flat: a living room, a kitchen,a bathroom and two bedrooms. Our kitchen is rather big. Our rooms are light and clean.
My parents are very busy.I help my mother to clean dust rooms.My father help us too.He cooked dinner when my mother was busy.We clean our flat every Saturday.
I want to have a very clean room because it`s very pleasant to live in tidy, comfortable place.
The idea of having wild animals at home sounds unreal. But nowadays it's become popular to buy pigs, ferrets and lizards. A lot of people think that it's cool, when you have abosolutely unsual animal. As far as I conserned, it can be dangerous. Even if we have wild pet at home for years, we can't give 100% guarantee that it became real domestic aminal. And who knows when it'll show its wild side. Moreover, wild animals need much freedom. They used to play in big fields, eat another animals, that's theirs way of living. It's violent too close them in 4 walls. So, I suppose, I approve why it's a bad idea to have wild animal at home.
