介绍:
8. School 学校
[00:01.66]September is traditionally the end of summer
[00:05.68]and the beginning of autumn in the UK.
[00:08.27]It is also the month when children go back to school
[00:12.14]after their long summer holidays.
[00:14.33]There are two types of school in England.
[00:17.05]State-run schools are paid for by the government,
[00:20.14]so are free to attend.
[00:22.03]Independent Schools are private,
[00:24.42]which means you have to pay to attend.
[00:26.67]The school day usually starts at 9 in the morning
[00:31.15]and finishes around 4,
[00:32.98]with breaks for lunch of course!
[00:35.31]In many schools, you have to wear a uniform too.
[00:38.92]Children start school when they are 5 years old.
[00:42.02]This is called primary school,
[00:44.46]and lasts until the child is 11
[00:47.01]when he or she will go on to senior school.
[00:49.61]Secondary school is compulsory
[00:52.70]from 11 until 16 years of age.
[00:55.41]At 16, students take national examinations called GCSE's.
[01:00.45]After this, students can stay at school for another 2 years
[01:04.77]and take A Level examinations.
