2. a) Work in three groups. Read one of the texts and fill in the table in your exercise-books. You will have only one third of the answers.

Eton College

Perhaps the most famous public school in the UK is Eton, founded in 1440. It is located near Windsor. Entrance to Eton is competitive, based on a test at the age of 11 and a Common Entrance exam at 13. The academic year starts at the end of September and has three terms.

It finishes with the exams in June. There are no girls at Eton. Boys leave the school at 18 — many go on to study at Oxford and Cambridge.

The boys still wear a formal school uniform: a black tailcoat and waistcoat and pinstriped trousers. Students at Eton are all boarders. They have their own small rooms with a bed and desk. The main team sports which are played are rugby and football in the winter and spring, and either cricket or rowing in the summer. Other popular activities include drama and music. Senior boys may take part in military training, or choose to do social service in the community.

Famous "Old Etonians" (people educated at Eton) include the Duke of Wellington, famous writers such as Shelley and George Orwell, and many British Prime Ministers. Both of Prince Charles' sons, William and Harry, studied at Eton.

Harrow School

Harrow, founded in 1243, is an independent school for boys in north-west London.

Many famous people who are known as Old Harrovians, for example Lord Byron, seven former British Prime Ministers, including Winston Churchill, studied there.

Boys at Harrow have two uniforms. Everyday dress consists of a tweed jacket, grey trousers, black shoes, a blue jumper (sweater), a dark blue jacket, the school blue and white scarf and a straw hat. Sunday dress consists of a morning suit: a black tailcoat, pinstriped trousers, a black waistcoat, a black tie and a white shirt.

During their first year, boys take English, French, Mathematics, Biology, Chemistry, Physics, History, Geography, Latin, Religious Studies, Art, Music, Design Technology and Information Technology. Greek, Chinese, German or Spanish are offered to boys with good linguistic ability. Optional languages are Russian, Japanese, Portuguese and Italian.

During their second and third years boys work towards their GCSE examinations.

In the Sixth Forms all pupils are expected to take AS-level in at least four main subjects, going on to A-level in at least three. There are many to choose from. Harrow has been impressive in the development of a number of sports. Squash was invented in Harrow around 1830. Football rules were developed there. An annual cricket match has taken place between Harrow and Eton College since 1805.

Wycombe Abbey

Wycombe Abbey, founded in 1896, is an independent girls' school. It is one of the top schools in the United Kingdom. There are about 540 girls aged 11 to 18. The curriculum for the first three years at Wycombe Abbey is: English, Mathematics, Biology, Chemistry, Physics, French, Latin, Geography, History, Religious Studies, Information Technology, Design Technology, Art, Music, Drama, Physical Education and PSHE (Personal, Social and Health Education). Cookery, Singing and Spanish form part of the eleven- and twelve-year-olds' curriculum. The twelve-year-old girls either continue with Spanish or take up German or Classical Greek.

The girls who are working towards their GCSE examinations learn English, English Literature, Mathematics, a modern foreign language and the three Sciences – Physics, Chemistry and Biology – studied either as separate Sciences or as a combined course.

The subjects from which students select their GCSE options include Religious Studies, History, Geography, French, German, Spanish, Latin, Greek, ICT, Design Technology, Art, Drama, Music and Physical Education.

Every student, in addition, attends Physical Education lessons and a general course that covers a variety of areas, including careers education and citizenship.

Students in the Sixth Form select their A-level exams from a big variety of subjects.

All Sixth Formers pursue a sport, follow an IT course which enables them to take the European Computer Driving Licence. All are taught Critical Thinking.

Many girls who previously studied at Wycombe Abbey became famous lawyers, actresses, writers, and even Members of Parliament.

b) Work in groups of three (each student should have read a different text) and complete the rest of the table.

c) Talk to your partners and say which school you would like to study at if you lived in Britain.
