b) Scan the text again and explain what the words in bold mean.

Dear Belarusian friends,

My name is Alan Johns. I found your school website on the Internet and was extremely pleased as it hadn’t been very easy to find one. We are currently working on a big project “Life in European Countries”. I’ve chosen Belarus. I am curious to learn as much about your country as possible. I found a lot of information on the Internet but first hand experience is invaluable. It would be great if you could help me.

I am 16 and I study at the sixth-form college in Guildford (Surrey, England). Before that I studied at a comprehensive school. I finished school and passed the GCSE exams. It’s my first year at college. A sixth-form college is an educational institution in England where students aged 16 to 19 study for advanced school-level qualifications, such as A-levels. University enrollment normally requires at least three A-level qualifications. I study Art and Design, Information and Communication Technology, Mathematics and Russian. In England education is compulsory until the end of year 11, or till you turn 16. Post-16 education can take a number of forms: either academic or vocational.

Students at sixth-form college typically study for two years and sit A-levelexaminations at the end of the second year.

Please tell me something about your education system and whatever else you find important to say about your education.

Hope to hear from you soon.

Best regards,

Alan.
