Letter to our British friend


Dear friend!
 This year we have started United kingdom country studies subject and we want to learn more about British system of education. We were surprised to learn that 90% of schools in Britain are now comprehensive. Our Ukrainian system of education is different. Ukrainian students have no possibility to choose what subjects to study. At 10th form we have approximately 20 different subjects. We have 12-point scale of educational evaluation.
We’re studying at Specialist school number 15 with foreign language base.We think that we’re lucky to be studying at 15 school. It gives us diverse possibilities of self- development, provides us with the latest facilities in the field of education. It is necessary to say that our teachers are highly qualified, experienced professionals, helping us to cope with the avalanche of knowledge.
How many lessons do you have per day? Do you have home tasks? Do you like studying?
Sincerely yours, Tanya and Marina
