Teacher: Nice to see you, friends! I hope all of you are well today. You know, yesterday I came across one proverb which made a great impression on me. It proves that I am doing the right thing, that I made the right decision when decided to become a teacher and to give knowledge to schoolchildren. And I`d like to know what you think about it. Look at this proverb, read and say how you understand it.Give Ukrainian equivalent of the proverb and explain its meaning, please.

(The proverb is on the slide 1 Education is light, lack of it is darkness. )

Possible answers of pupils:

–        for a clever and educated person all doors are open, he can find a good job and make a wonderful career, become a famous politic or a scientist:

–        a person who isn`t clever and not educated will live in darkness, will not be able to study at the university or to have a job where he can earn much money.

1.3    Повідомлення теми, мети та завдань уроку.(slide 2)

Teacher: Very good of you. As for me, I totally agree with the proverb. Only educated people are interesting to communicate with, they have a better chance to get a well-paid and exciting job, they are luckier to become famous and useful for our society. But how can a person become educated? Can he do it only by himself? Who can help him? Of course, without attending school it`s very difficult to get knowledge in different spheres of life. As you`ve already understood we start a new topic ‘School Life’. Today we`ll speak about the role of school in your life, will try to remember your first day at school; we`ll also practice in reading and listening.

THE SCHOOL SYSTEM IN GREAT BRITAIN

Education in Britain is compulsory and free for all children between the ages of 5-16. Nine tenths of all children are educated in state schools. All books and equipment are provided free. Uniform is worn in many schools but this is now quite flexible. Students never repeat a year in British sys¬tem, but they may be sent to a vocation school or section.

Primary school. Schoolchildren attend a primary school for 6 years (from 5 to 11 years). They study general subjects and special help is given to children with handicaps and learning difficulties. The division between primary and secondary education is at the age of 11 when almost all child¬ren in the state system change schools.

Secondary school. When students transfer to Secondary school at the age of 11, they don’t take any examination, but their reports are sent on from Primary school.

Most children — over 80 % — go to a comprehensive school. “Compre-hensive” means all-inclusive. They admit pupils of all abilities. But there are also grammar schools and secondary modern schools. The pupils have to pass an exam to go there; so admission depends on the result of the selective exams and the pupils’ abilities. All types of secondary school have the five year courses for pupils from 11 years up to the school leaving age.

Pupils in all State schools in England and Wales study 10 main sub¬jects: English, Mathematics, Science. Foundation subjects: History, Geog¬raphy, A Modern language, Art, Music, Information Technology, Physical education, Religious education is also taught.

Attainment tests are given at the ages of 7, 11, 14, 16. At the end of a 5-year course, at the age of 16, students sit the General Certificate of Secondary Education exams in as many subjects as possible. Weak students may only sit for free or four subjects. Better students take ten subjects.At the age of 16 about two third of these pupils leave school and get jobs or apprenticeships. About one-third stay at school until the age of 18 pre­paring themselves for higher education.

The 6th form. 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. They have only three or four main subjects which are necessary to pass the advanced level exams at the age of 18. In addition to the foundation subjects the 6th formers are offered many other courses at Advanced Level such as classical Civilization, Further Mathematics, Information Techno­logy, History of Art, Social Biology and many others.

The school year is divided into three terms with the intervals between them during the Christmas and Easter holidays lasting about two weeks each and the summer holiday which begins rather late and is usually six weeks long.

All kinds of out-of-class activities are part of school life in Britain. Students have a lot of opportunities for playing sports, attending differ­ent clubs and singing in choir. Most schools have very good libraries which students use for reference work.

CHARTERHOUSE

13-18 year old boys boarding school

16-18 year old girls and boys boarding and day school

Charterhouse is a happy, stimulating and demanding environment, as is appro¬priate for the place where pupils spend some of the most important years of their lives. Our ambition is to ensure that, by providing support, encouragement and inspiration, each pupil fulfils his or her potential

Pastoral Care (relating to the duties of a teacher in advising students about their personal needs rather than their schoolwork)

At Charterhouse we are actively committed to providing the highest standards of pastoral care to ensure the wellbeing of all our pupils. Pastoral care plays a central part in pupils’ lives during their time here, with a team of staff who support and care for them.

The pastoral care team comprises:

The Assistant Headmaster, Pastoral

Housemasters

Head of Girls

Matrons

Tutors

The Master of Yearlings

Chaplain (a priest or other religious minister responsible for the religious needs of a club, the army, a hospital etc)

Medical Staff

Counsellors (someone whose job is to help and support people with problems)

The Assistant Headmaster, Pastoral, Mr Nigel Cooper, oversees all pastoral care and reports directly to the Headmaster.

All pupils are under the care of their resident Housemaster, who is their day-to-day mentor and is responsible for looking after them through¬out their time at Charterhouse.

Each Housemaster also has a team of around six tutors. Every pupil is allocated a tutor who takes a particular interest in his academic work and extra-curricular commitments. A tutor has around two pupils to look after in each of the five year groups giving a very good tutor /pupil ratio. Tutors meet with their tutees each week in the 15 minute mid-morning tutorials and on the tutor’s weekly duty night in House. One of these tutors will be appointed the Assistant Housemaster; he or she too will have a very close working knowledge of the House.

For girls, there are is also the Head of Girls, Mrs Maggy Swift, and her team of staff who run Chetwynd, Northridge, Stainers and Long Meadow which collectively make up the girls’ residential accommodation.

Housemasters and The Head of Girls are supported by a resident Matron who looks after the domestic needs of each pupil in the House, dispenses routine medication and offers homely advice and support.

There is also a structure of care amongst the pupils in each House. The Housemaster appoints a Head of House and House Monitors to help care for pupils in the House. And during-their first few weeks in the House, each new pupil is allocated to an older pupil whose responsibility it is to make sure they settle in, find their way around and learn quickly how the School and House works.

The Master of the Yearlings keeps a special eye on the new boys (known as ‘Yearlings’), organizing informal meals and opportunities to talk through any issues they may have as new boys in the School.

There is also the chaplaincy, the medical staff and counsellors whom any pupil can make an appointment to meet and discuss any problems they may have.

Education in Ukraine

Present day independent Ukraine has a well-developed system of education which matches the stand­ards of the developed countries. Pre-school education is not compulsory and is fee-paying. Most parents take their children to nursery schools or kindergartens at the age of 3. Up to the age of 5 children mostly eat, sleep and play there, but in senior groups they are taught the basics of arithmetic, reading, writing,  arts and in some schools foreign languages.

Compulsory secondary education begins at the age of 6—7 and is free in state schools and fee-paying in private ones. Some schools, especially those with language slant, have preparatory classes. Secondary education includes three stages: primary (1st—3d grades), basic (4—9th grades) and senior (10— 11 th grades). In regular secondary schools children start learning foreign languages. from the 5th grade and have fewer lessons of language a week than specialised language schools that start teaching lan­guages from the 1st grade. Recently new types of schools have appeared: gymnasiums and lycees. In addition, there are schools with technical, computer, mathematical, law, pedagogical and art slant. All the subjects in the secondary schools are obligatory but there are optional courses that students of senior grades can take in addition to the required ones.

Extra-curricular activities usually include a variety of sports and drama clubs, interest groups and various school parties.

Those senior, students who want to get qualification alongside the secondary education, can go to vocational training schools. Post-secondary education is provided by technical schools and colleges of 1st and 2nd Level of Accreditation that train young specialists in different trades.

Institutions of higher learning (higher educational establishments) include universities, academies, institutes and conservatories. They all hold entrance examinations to select the best applicants to be their students. Among the best known higher educational establishments there are Shevchenko Kyiv National University, Kyiv Polytechnic University, International Independent University “Kyiv-Mohyla Academy”, Kyiv State Conservatory, Lviv State University, Kharkiv National University, Kharkiv State Pedagogi­cal University, Kharkiv State Polytechnic University and many others.

Post graduate education begins after the last year of studies and usually results in theses on the chosen scientific topic and the degree of the Candidate of Science. Doctorate Degree is awarded for an outstanding scientific research.

Why do We Learn English

People began to speak many centuries ago, and since then they have been speaking different languages. Every language reflects the soul, behaviour and temperament of each nationality. Peoples created their own alphabets and rules, but they always wanted to communicate with each other, to understand and to know more about each other.

Languages help people to understand each other better, they help them to solve different economic and political problems, which stands before them, and so people learn foreign languages.

All languages are different. Some are very hard, some are easier, some are similar, but there are no identical languages in the whole world. There are more than 2,700 languages in the world. Many of them are “alive” because people use them, but there are some “dead” languages, for example Latin.

Two thousands years ago, Latin was the world’s most important international language. Today this title belongs to English. It’s a global language of travel, business, pop culture, sport and science.

Over one billion people speak English. That’s almost one fifth of the world’s population. For over 400 million it’s their first language. For the other 600 million it’s either a second language or a foreign language.

Today, in fact, over 250 million people are learning English. That’s more than the population of the USA.

The average person in Britain has a vocabulary of between 10,000 and 15,000 words. In his plays William Shakespeare used a vocabulary of about 30,000 words. Shakespeare was born over 400 years ago. At that time, only six or seven million people spoke English.

Now English is spoken practically all over the world, it has become the world’s most important language in politics, science, trade and cultural relations. It is spoken as a mother tongue in Great Britain, the United States of America, Canada, Australia and New Zealand. Besides, a lot of people speak English in Japan, India, China, Africa and many other countries. English is one of the official languages of the United Nation Organisation. Half of the world’s scientific literature is in English. It is the language of computer technology.

To my mind English is worth studying. There is a proverb: “A new language is a new world”. “Knowledge is a power”, one great man said. Speaking a foreign language one can not only read the papers, magazines and original books by outstanding writers, but as well watch satellite programmes, travel easily to different parts of the world. Besides, understanding and speaking a foreign language became necessary while applying for a good and well-paid job.

Now I know that it is a must for XXI century professional no matter what job to choose. The world is getting smaller and international connections tighter. A lot of foreign delegations keep coming to our country, hundreds of joint ventures have appeared in every city of our country recently. So without doubt you can’t do without learning this beautiful language.

• Questions: (slide 2)

1. What was the world’s most important international language two thousands years ago?
2. How many people speak English as their first language, a second language or a foreign language?
3. How many languages are there in the world?
4. How large is the vocabulary of the average British person?
5. Where is English spoken?
6. Why do you learn English?

• Listening

How Can We Learn English ?

1. So, today we are gonna talk about seven ways to learn English and practice your language skills. Listen and add your way.

#1: Listen To Music In English

Listening to music is something most English students already enjoy. So, listen to more songs in English. Listen carefully, pay attention to the lyrics, and sing along. Soon, you’ll be singing songs in English and understand what you are listening to which will help your listening abilities.

#2: Follow A Drama Or Comedy Series In English

You probably already enjoy watching TV series anyway, so why not watch them in English? If you think you’ll have trouble understanding what you hear, then use subtitles for a while. Pay attention to the dialogues and the way the actors are speaking in English. That way you can learn to speak spoken English and express yourself better.

#3: Read A Book Or Comic Every Month In English

Reading in English is a great way to increase your vocabulary. Write down the new words you are learning in a notebook. You will also learn new ways to use the words you already know in English as you see how it is used in other contexts and situations.

#6: Play Video Games In English

Yes, you can learn English by playing video games. I know several English mavens who learned English this way. And I’ve even had people stop me in the street and ask me what a phrase means in English so they can get to the next level.

#7: Join An English Speaking Course (And Attend It Regularly)

Okay! So, this last idea might not be as fun as watching movies and listening to music, however, can have fun in a classroom. And besides, you’ll meet new people you wouldn’t have known otherwise and make new friends to practice your English.

SCHOOL TYPES: THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN PUBLIC, PRIVATE, MAGNET, CHARTER, AND MORE

Approximately 46 million students are enrolled in the nation’s public schools in grades kindergarten through 12. Another 6 million attend pri¬vate schools. But if you read the newspapers, you know it’s not that sim¬ple anymore. Several new types of schools have appeared in recent years. What’s the difference between a magnet school and a charter school? Paro¬chial and proprietary? Which one is best for your child?

Here’s a brief description of the different types of schools on today’s educational landscape.

Public schools

Public schools get their financing from local, state, and federal government funds. In most cases, they must admit all students (1)      . Charter schools and magnet schools are two relatively new kinds of public schools.

Charter schools

Charter schools began appearing in the early 90s. They are autonomous, “alternative” public schools started by parents, teachers, community organizations, and for-profit companies. These schools (2)        must also come up with private funding. Charter schools must adhere to the basic curricu-lar requirements of the state but are free from many of the regulations that apply to conventional schools and the day-to-day scrutiny of school boards and government authorities.

Considered cutting edge, charter schools usually challenge standard education practices and sometimes specialize in a particular area, such as technology, the arts, or a back-tb-basics core-subjects approach. Some char-ter schools are specifically for gifted or high-risk kids. They usually offer smaller classes and more individual attention (3)      . To find out more about charter schools and where to find them in your area, visit the U.S. Charter Schools Web site.

Magnet schools

Magnet schools are highly competitive, highly selective public schools renowned for their special programs, superior facilities, and high academic standards. They may specialize in a particular area, such as science or the arts. Students who apply to these schools go through a rigorous testing and application process. Some magnet schools have boarding facilities (4) . Magnet schools were first launched in the late 1970s to help desegregate public school systems by encouraging children to attend schools outside their neighborhoods. Student diversity is still an explicit goal of most magnet schools.

Private schools

Private schools rely on tuition payments and funds from non-public sources such as religious organizations, endowments, grants, and charitable donations. These schools select from among students who apply for admission. They may (5)         _. About 25 percent of the elementary and secondary schools in the United States are private.

Independent schools

Independent schools are private, nonprofit schools governed by elected boards of trustees. This category includes such famous private schools as Andover and Exeter. Independent schools draw their funds from tuition payments, charitable contributions, and endowments rather than from taxes or church funds. They may be affiliated with a religious institution but cannot receive funds or governance from them. Of the 28,000 private schools in the United States, only about 1,500 are independent. About two-thirds of those are members of the National Association of Independent Schools, (6)       and have agreed to practice nondiscriminatory policies. Many accept boarding as well as day students. Private day schools generally cost from a few thousand to more than $10,000 per student per year, while a boarding school charges each student approximately $ 20,000 annually.

Parochial schools

Parochial schools are church-related schools, most commonly owned and operated by Catholic parishes or dioceses but also by Protestant denominations. Hebrew schools may also be termed parochial. The majority of the private schools in the United States are parochial schools. (7)      Teachers may be clergy or lay persons who may or may not be trained educators. Your child doesn’t have to be Catholic to attend a parochial school, but she will still be required to attend religious education classes and prayer services. Parochial schools generally cost between $ 1,200 and $ 2,400 per year for an elementary school student and between $ 4,600 and $ 7,500 for a high school student.

Proprietary schools

Proprietary schools are private schools that are run for profit. This is a relatively new category of school. They do not answer to any board of trustees or elected officials. Because of this they claim to be able to respond quickly to the demands of the market. Many belong to an organization called the National Independent Private Schools Association. Tuition is compara¬ble to that of private, nonprofit schools.

• Listen to the text and do the task.

American teens usually start high school at the age of 14. A student taking high school is called a freshman. In the second year he or she becomes a sophomore. Eleventh-grade students are called juniors, and twelfth-grade students are seniors.

High school students usually take exams in the subjects they are study­ing at the end of each semester. Their marks (grades) are based partly on these examinations and partly on other tests, homework and work in class. They can get a grade of A, B, C, D, or F (fail).

Students who have passed enough courses graduate from high school at the end of the twelfth grade, and get a high school diploma. Anybody who wants to go to university must have a high-school diploma and take a test called the SAT based on multiple-choice questions. Some universities ask students to take tests in several subjects as well.

AMERICAN HIGH SCHOOL TRADITIONS

American high schools have all sorts of traditions. There are lots of sports and musical events, plays and dances, but the biggest events are Homecoming and the Prom.

Homecoming

At the beginning of the school year students (and former students as well) celebrate Homecoming. There is usually a parade of floats, a football game with a rival school (with cheerleaders dancing and shouting to support their teams) and a big dance, too. Students vote for a Homecoming King and Queen who are usually chosen because they are popular or attractive. Often, the King and Queen are the best football player and a cheerleader.

Prom

At the end of the last year of high school there is a special huge party called a Prom. It’s the last party before university and it takes place after you’ve passed all your exams.

During the year, an elected committee meets up to discuss the theme, the place, the music and the DJs.

There is also all the excitement of who you’ll go to the prom with. It may be your boyfriend or girlfriend of just a close friend. After choosing a date, the real fun begins. Girls plan what they are going to wear months before and can spend hundreds of dollars on their dresses and shoes. Guys usually buy or rent a tuxedo. On prom day girls usually get up very early and get their hair and nails done. Many girls get together at someone’s house and spend most of the day preparing together — dressing, doing makeup, etc. Guys, on the other hand, hang together for a while, then get ready at the last moment. Some students, especially crushes, go out to dinner before the prom and arrive at the party fashionably late.

Lots of people also take pictures on this special day. After all, it’s the end of school life and the beginning of adulthood.
