I like to go to school during the week as I get to know something new every day. But most of all I like weekends. I do not have to get up early in the morning. I can stay in bed longer. During the weekend I can do everything I want. But this doesn’t mean that I do nothing at all.
Usually I read books and listen to my favorite singers. I meet with my friend and we walk along my town and fancy funny stories about people around us. Sometimes when the weather is good I take a ride on my bicycle to the nearest park. I enjoy being on the fresh air as much as possible. Some of my friends go to the countryside every weekend. It is some kind of a family tradition for them. I will go with my friend, and i mayby Will go to the cinema.
Education in Britain is compulsory for all children between the ages of 5-16. School-children attend a primary school for 6 years. After the primary school most children go to a comprehensive school. There are “grammar schools” and “secondary-modern schools”. The pupils have to pass an exam to go there. Grammar school is for children, who want to get higher education. Secondary-modern school is for children who are not expected to go on to higher study later. All types of secondary schools have the 5-year courses. Pupils study 10 main subjects. Attainment tests are given at the ages of 7, 11 and 14, 16. At the end of a 5-year courses students sit the General Certificate of Secondary Education exams in as many subjects as possible. At the age of 16 some pupils leave school and get job or apprenticeships. Some pupils stay on at school until the age of 18 and prepare for higher education. More ambitious pupils continue to study in the 6th form. They stay on at school for one or two years to prepare themselves for university. The school year is divided into three terms. There are intervals during the Christmas, Easter holidays and the summer holidays. All kinds of out-of-class activities are part of school life in Britain. Students play sports, attend different clubs and sing in a choir. Most schools have very good libraries which students use for reference work.
