Номер 1, страница 53 - гдз по английскому языку 10 класс учебник Юхнель, Наумова

1. a) Talk to your partner and answer the question: What is the difference between a state and a private school? Think of at least 3 differences.

b) Read the conversation between Kiril and Jane and 1) check if it mentions the differences you spoke about; 2) explain what the words in bold mean.

Kiril: Jane, could you please help me clarify something? I read that there are state, independent and private schools in Great Britain. What is the difference?

Jane: Independent schools are private. So, there are two types only. The difference is that the state schools get money from the government. On the contrary, independent schools do not receive money from the government or local authorities. The parents pay for the education. A public school is an independent secondary school which is a charity. It means that private schools don't earn money. The expression "public school" can be confusing: in many countries other than England a "public school" is a school which is run by the government. One of the examples is the United States. All public schools there are funded by the government. It is not the case with British schools. In England a private school is any school which is run to make a profit. Among the most famous public schools are Eton, Harrow and Winchester.

Kiril: They all pay and nobody studies there free of charge!

Jane: No, that is not true. The majority of students pay fees but some scholarships are available for the brightest pupils or for children from poorer families. The schools select pupils according to ability by using an entrance exam. Entrance exams are taken at the age of 13 and are known as Common Entrance exams.

Kiril: Where do the children study before they enter a public school?

Jane: Some public schools have their own prep schools as well as the senior schools, but students from other schools can apply to the senior schools.

Kiril: What is a prep?

Jane: A preparatory school is usually called a prep school. It prepares pupils to go to a public school. Boys often enter such schools at age 8 and girls at age 11.

Kiril: Do boys and girls study together?

Jane: Schools are often single-sex boys' schools or girls' schools but some of them are mixed. Besides, many boys' schools accept girls in the sixth form, from ages 16 to 18.

Kiril: And what about the state schools?

Jane: State schools are all mixed. But there is another important difference. The majority of state schools are day schools. The students go home after classes. Many of the independent schools are boarding schools. They may have full boarders who live in the school grounds during term-time, weekly boarders who return home only at weekends and dayboys/daygirls who return home each evening, but some are only for day pupils. The education is provided free, but parents must pay for the cost of boarding. Most of these schools are mixed sex, and they are usually for students from ages 11 to 18.

c) If you studied in Britain, where would you like to study? Why?

1. a) Поговорите с партнером и ответьте на вопрос: В чем разница между государственной и частной школой? Придумайте не менее 3 различий.

1. b) Прочитайте диалог между Кириллом и Джейн и 1) проверьте, упоминаются ли в нем различия, о которых вы говорили; 2) объясните, что означают выделенные жирным шрифтом слова.

1. c) Если бы вы учились в Британии, где бы вы хотели учиться? Почему?

Ответ:

1. a)

1. Funding: State schools are funded by the government, while private schools are funded by fees paid by parents.

2. Student Body: State schools are always mixed-sex, whereas many private schools are single-sex.

3. Accommodation: Most state schools are day schools, but many private schools are boarding schools where students live on campus.

1. b)

1. c)

As this is a personal question, a sample answer is provided: I would like to study at a state boarding school. This way, I could get a free education while also experiencing life at a boarding school, which would be a unique cultural experience.

Перевод:

1. a)

1. Финансирование: Государственные школы финансируются правительством, в то время как частные школы финансируются за счет платы, вносимой родителями.

2. Состав учащихся: Государственные школы всегда смешанного типа (для мальчиков и девочек), тогда как многие частные школы — раздельного обучения.

3. Проживание: Большинство государственных школ — дневные, но многие частные школы являются школами-пансионами, где ученики живут на территории кампуса.

1. b)

1. c)

Поскольку это личный вопрос, приводится пример ответа: Я бы хотел учиться в государственной школе-пансионе. Таким образом, я мог бы получить бесплатное образование и в то же время познакомиться с жизнью в школе-пансионе, что стало бы уникальным культурным опытом.
