 School 1
Our school is quite informal – we can call our teachers
by their first names. We don’t move up to secondary
school when we’re 11 because we attend the same
comprehensive school from 7 to 16. All our classes are
mixed ability. The curriculum includes academic
subjects but also Art, Music and PE, with only about
30 minutes of homework every day. We’re lucky – we
don’t have to pay tuition fees to do a degree at
university.

English is my favourite subject, but I can’t keep up
with all the homework! We have to learn lists of
vocabulary by heart. At elementary school, the
timetable includes earthquake practice. If there’s an
earthquake when children are outside, they have to
line up in the playground. At the end of the day, we
have to clean our classroom. Most of my classmates
will go to university. In my country, 50 percent of the
population are university graduates.
