i was sleeping in my bed and dreaming about christmas : )

i like when the weather is hot enough. i don't like too hot weather. i like hot weather, because that's relly nice. sky is blue, sun is shining there. i like to walk with friends and enjoy hot weather. i always play football or basketball. sometimes i go to the park with  my best friend. we like to walk near lake and to listen bird's beautiful songs and to talk about many things. but i hate rane and cold weather. that time i can't have a nice time with friends.

if i were the minister of transport of england i wouldnt be really sad because situation in our country is quite good. not as, for example, in moscow with its overloaded roads. but there are still some unsolved problems left. the first and probably most serious problem is a quality of roads in some parts of england. of course the repairing of all these roads would take a plenty of money but i think that its worth it. this project would also have a big plus giving many jobs for the locals. i would also increase a size of a penalties for driving drunk. this reform has two good sides. first if it helps it will be perfect anyway. second if it wont help, well, at least money will get to the right hands. i would also try to reduce an amount of carbon dioxide in our atmosphere. i would do more co-called "days without cars" and would cooperate with engineers about inventing a hydrogen fuel. and the final thing i would do is the enjoying of a huge salary. ))

education in great britain: schools

in britain it is compulsory for everyone between the ages of 5 and 16 years to receive some officially recognized form of schooling, though most secondary schools continue to provide education until the age of 18.

the vast majority of pupils attend state schools, which are absolutely free (including all text books and exercise books), but there are also about 500 private schools providing secondary education. the most famous of these schools are eton and harrow.

there is no statutory age at which students change from primary to secondary school, nor are schools "specialized" — pupils choose from the numerous subjects taught in their particular school.

the recently introduced national curriculum has made it compulsory, however, for three core subjects — english, mathematics, and science — and seven other foundation subjects — technology (including design), history, geography, music, art, physical education, and a modern foreign language — to be included in the curricula of all pupils.

passage from one academic year to the next is automatic. after a two-year course, usually from 14 to 16 years of age, most pupils take their general certificate of secondary education (gcse), assessed on the basis of a mixture of course work and a written examination, in individual subjects.

pupils obtaining at least five passes at gcse can then specialize for two years (usually from16 to 18 years of age) in two or three subjects, in which they take the general certificate of education advanced level (a-level) examination. this is used as an entrance qualification for university (minimum two passes) and other types of higher education, as well as for many forms of professional training.
