Education in RF and UK



Russia.

Education plays a very important role in our life. It is one of the most valuable possessions a man can get in his life. Originally Russian education starts from the early age. Children can start going to kindergarten. I think its also part of human`s education but  It depends on parents’ decision and child’s wish to attend this institution. n the Russian Federation the school education is compulsory. Pupils start going to school from the age of seven and till 16 -18. 


Education in Russia is presented by three types of schools: primary, secondary and high. 






The school year starts in September 1 and finishes in May. It is divided into four terms. Study programme in schools is fixed. It means that schoolchildren can’t choose subjects they want to study. When children finish school, they have to pass the Unified state examination (USE). It’s the set of standardised 
tests.


Russia has been a leading centre of culture, science and education in Europe since the 18 century. The higher education system in Russia has a distinguished reputation in the world. The standards of the higher education in Russia are considered to be one of the best in the world with advanced and sophisticated teaching methods and scientific approaches.

Primary education begins at the age of 5 in England, Wales and Scotland, and 4 in Northern Ireland. It includes three age ranges: nursery for children under 5 years, infants from 5 to 7, and juniors from 7 to 11 years old. In nursery schools babies don’t have real classes, they learn some elementary things such as numbers, colours and letters. Besides, they play, have lunch and sleep there. Children usually start their school education in an infant school and move to a junior school at the age of 7.


Compulsory secondary education begins when children are 11 or 12 and lasts for 5 years: one form to each year. Secondary schools are generally much larger than primary ones. Pupils in England and Wales begin studying a range of subjects stipulated under the National Curriculum. Religious education is available in all schools, although parents have the right to withdraw their children from such classes


At the age of 14 or 15 pupils begin to choose their exam subjects. In 1988 a new public examination — the General Certificate of Secondary Education (GCSE) — was introduced for 16 year- olds. This examination assesses pupils on the work they do in the 4th and 5th year at secondary school, For University entrance pupils have to take «А» Level (Advanced Level) GCE exam.
Many people decide to leave school at the age of 16 and go to a Further Education (FE) College for practical vocational training, for example in engineering, typing, cooking or hairdressing.

A summary of the story “A Friend in Need”.

William Somerset Maugham, playwright, novelist and short story writer was born of British parents in Paris in 1874. At the beginning of his literary career Maugham was greatly influenced by French naturalism.  He says that life is too tragic and senseless to be described. A writer can't change life, he must only try to amuse his read­ er, stir his imagination. What about a story of two man ?  I think it is my favourite story from Arakin . Why? Cause this story is so instructive for everybody.  It was a funny story. Burton told us about so interesting person .  He wasn't a bad chap. The author  liked him. He was always  well-dressed  and  smart-looking. He was handsome and ,of course, women liked him.  A bit of money used to come in for him once a quarter and he made a bit more by card-playing. He came to see Burton in his office one day and asked him for a job. He was rather surprised. The man told him that there was no more  money co...

4 5. The belles-lettres style Belles-lettres style is a generic term for three substyles in which the main principles and the most general properties of the style are materialized. These three sub-styles are: ' 1. The language of poetry, or simply verse. 2. Emotive p г о s e, or the language of fiction. 3. The language of the drama The function of belles-lettres style is twofold: a) to inform and communicate facts and ideas to the reader b) to affect the reader emotionally As regard to the poetry the order should be reverse. All the three sub-styles have quite a number of common features. But in spite of that each has individual characteristics as well.
