Education plays a very important role in our life. All Russian children have the right to education, but it is not only a right, it is a duty, too. The citizens of Russia have a right to receive the education which is guaranteed in the Constitution of the Russian Federation.
Education is a key to a good future. And schools are the first step on the education-way. Schools help young people to choose their career, to prepare for their future life; they make pupils clever and well-educated. They give pupils the opportunity to fulfill their talent.
The system of education in Russia is very much the same as in other highly developed countries. Education in our country is compulsory and now lasts eleven years. School term has 3 stages: elementary (grades 1-4), middle (grades 5-9) and senior (grades 10-11) classes.
There are nurseries and kindergartens for little children aged from 2 to 6. Children play games, go for walks, and have regular meals there. But the lessons of reading, arithmetic, drawing and other subjects have become more complicated than they were in the kindergartens ten years ago. There are the kindergartens where children learn foreign languages.
At the age of 6 or 7 Russian children go to secondary schools. The level of education in Russian secondary schools is rather high. Children receive primary education during the first four years.
Then they enter the middle school. In the middle school pupils study: Russian and foreign languages, Russian literature, algebra, geometry, physics, chemistry and biology. They have their final examinations in the ninth form.
Then the pupils may leave school and enter some professional college or receive full-time secondary education in the tenth and eleventh forms. The program of the last two years is the most complicated one. Besides the subjects mentioned above it often includes trigonometry, organic chemistry and astronomy. Pupils get the necessary knowledge for entering the universities and institutes. There are some special schools where pupils have advanced programs in physics, mathematics or foreign languages.
Every city in Russia has at least one university and several institutes. The oldest Russian universities are the Moscow State University, the University of St. Petersburg and some others.

In England and Wales compulsory school begins at the age of five, but before that age children can go to a nursery school, also called play school. School is compulsory till the children are 16 years old. The school year in England and Wales starts in September and ends in July. In Scotland it runs from August to June and in Northern Ireland from September to June and has three terms. At 7 and 11 years old, and then at 14 and 16 at secondary school, pupils take examinations in the core subjects (English, Mathematics and Science).
Primary education begins at the age of 5 in England, Wales and Scotland, and 4 in Northern Ireland. It includes three age ranges: nursery for children under 5 years, infants from 5 to 7, and juniors from 7 to 11 years old. In nursery schools babies don’t have real classes; they learn some elementary things such as numbers, colors and letters. Besides, they play, have lunch and sleep there. Children usually start their school education in an infant school and move to a junior school at the age of 7. In Primary School and First School children learn to read and write and the basis of arithmetic. In the higher classes of Primary School (or in Middle School) children learn geography, history, religion and, in some schools, a foreign language. Then children go to the Secondary School.
When students are 16 years old they may take an exam in various subjects in order to have a qualification. These qualifications can be either G.C.S.E. (General Certificate of Secondary Education) or "O level" (Ordinary level). After that students can either leave school and start working or continue their studies in the same school as before. If they continue, when they are 18, they have to take further examinations which are necessary for getting into university or college.
The most famous British public schools are Eton, Harrow and Winchester.
Some parents choose private schools for their children. They are very expensive but considered to provide a better education and good job opportunities.
In England there are 47 universities, including the Open University which teaches via TV and radio, about 400 colleges and institutes of higher education. The oldest universities in England are Oxford and Cambridge. Generally, universities award two kinds of degrees: the Bachelor's degree and the Master's degree.

Прочитайте и переведите текст "The oldest universities in England".
Nowadays in England there are about 35 universities. The two oldest universities in England are Oxford and Cambridge, which were founded in the middle ages. They have much in common. These two universities are often called Oxbridge.
The oldest university, Oxford, was founded in the 9th century. The history of Oxford began in 1243. It is famous for its first-class education. The first of its colleges was founded in 1249. The university now has thirty-five colleges and about thirteen thousand students, many of them from other countries. There were no women at Oxford until 1878. Now most colleges are open to men and women. Some of the most intelligent men and women in the country live and work here. Oxford gives them what they need: a quiet atmosphere, friendly colleagues and the four-hundred-year-old library, which has about five million books.
Cambridge is the second oldest University in GB after Oxford. It was founded in 1209. It is famous for its university, which started during the 13th century and grew steadily, until today there are more than twenty colleges. The oldest one is Porterhouse, which was founded in 1284. And the most recent is Robinson College, which was opened in 1977. But the most famous is King's College, because of its magnificent chapel. Its choir of boys and undergraduates is well known all over the world. The Universities were only for men until 19th century when the first women's college was opened. Later the doors of colleges were opened to both men and women. Nowadays almost all the colleges are mixed.
The universities which were founded between 1850 and 1930, including London University, are known as redbrick universities (they were called so because that was the favorable building material of the time). Redbrick universities were built to provide a liberal education for the poorer boys and to give technological training.
The University of London is the largest of them. London University was founded in 1836. It is the biggest university in Great Britain.
Imperial College London is consistently ranked among the best universities in the world for science, technology, engineering, medicine and business. It was formed in 1907 from a merger of three colleges in London and now has 16,000 students and 8,000 staff.
During the XX century many new universities were founded in various provincial towns. The college education is not as academic as the education at a university, but it is more practical and usually vocational. Some universities, such as Oxford, Cambridge, London University and some others, consist of several colleges. They are the so-called Collegiate Universities. A university has some independent colleges, each has its own building, staff and students, but all these colleges prepare their students for common final examinations. Degrees are also awarded by the University, not the college. An institute in Great Britain may have the same or very similar structure of a college of Collegiate University. For example: London University includes some institutes.

Прочитайте и переведите текст «Education in the USA»
Education in the United States of America is compulsory for children from the age of 6 till 16 (or 18). It involves 12 years of schooling. A school year starts at the end of August or at the beginning of September and ends in late June or early July. The whole school year is divided into three terms/trimesters or four quarters. American students have winter, spring and summer holidays which last 2 or 3 weeks and 6 or 8 weeks, respectively. The length of the school year varies among the states as well as the day length. Students go to school 5 days a week.
The American education system consists of 3 basic components: elementary, secondary and higher education. There is also such a notion as preschool education. At the age of 4 or 5 children just get acquainted with the formal education in a nursery school. The preschool education programme aims to prepare children for elementary school through playing and help them to acquire the experience of association. It lasts for one year. Then they go to the first grade (or grade 1).
Elementary education starts when pupils are 6 years old. The programme of studies in the elementary school includes the following subjects: English, Arithmetic, Geography, History of the USA, Natural sciences, Physical Training, Singing, Drawing, wood or metal work. The education is mostly concentrated on the basic skills (speaking, reading, writing and arithmetic). Sometimes children also learn some foreign languages, general history and such new subjects as drug and sex education. The main goal of elementary education is the general intellectual, social and physical development of a pupil from 5 to 12 or 15 years old.
Secondary education begins when children move on to high or secondary school in the ninth grade, where they continue their studies until the twelfth grade. The secondary school curriculum is built around specific subjects rather than general skills. Although there are always a number of basic subjects in the curriculum: English, Mathematics, Science, Social Studies and Physical Education, the students have an opportunity to teach some elective subjects, which are not necessary for everybody. After the first two years of education they can select subjects according to their professional interests. The electives are to be connected with the students' future work or further education at university or college. Every high school has a special teacher — a guidance counsellor who helps the students to choose these elective subjects. Moreover, he helps them with some social problems, too. The elective courses are different in various schools.
Members of each grade in high school have special names: students in the ninth grade are called freshmen, tenth graders are called sophomores, eleventh graders are juniors and as for twelfth graders, they are seniors.
After graduating from high schools the majority of the Americans go on studying at higher education establishments. In universities they have to study for four years to get a bachelor's degree. In order to get a master's degree they must study two years more and, besides, be engaged in a research work.
The most famous American universities are Harvard, Princeton, Stanford, Yale, and Columbia Universities.

«My future profession»

Students are the future of every country. They are young citizens of our society, full of infinite energy and progressive ideas, fantastic plans and noble ambitions, hopes and dreams. Student life is the brightest period of our life. It is a mixture of studies and great fun. I know that my parents (ex-students) miss those old good days of their student life.
A student has certain duties to perform. It goes without saying that the primary student duty is studying hard and acquiring proper knowledge for the future career. He must attend all the classes at college, do all the work at the right time, be punctual and disciplined. It can help the student achieve his goals and become diligent and perseverant. If he doesn’t neglect his studies he will receive rich dividends in his future work.
Examination time at the end of each semester is quite tough for students. They spend endless days and nights on studying and cramming. Although some of them use cheating, copying someone’s essays or course works. And you are lucky if you are not caught by the teacher because he can punish you by a poor mark or even by excluding from the college.
Most of the student’s time is devoted to reading and learning. It’s unbelievable but some students manage to deal with part-time jobs because they need a lot of money to study at college or university. Tuition fees and books are very costly nowadays, and if you rent an apartment it’s even more expensive. So students have busy schedules including studies, work and going out to socialize.
A good student never wastes his spare time uselessly. He should also go in for sports to stay in good health and mood. They say: “A sound mind lives in a sound body.” Students love participating in both academic and extra-curricular activities at college: different festivals, intellectual quizzes and summer camps. This social life broadens the mind, develops your talents and communication skills. And this is a wonderful time when you find real friends among your classmates at college.
Finally I’d like to say that it is absolutely great to be a student!

There are plenty of different professions. Some of my friends want to be doctors, others want to be lawyers or journalists, some want to become designers, IT workers. But I’ve always had a particular interest to advertising. So, I‘ve already decided what I want to do. I want to have a job where I can apply my creative skills. . I‘d like to have a job of an engineer.
Our country has huge potential, we can become first in all production sectors, so that in the future I want to work as an engineer and invent new machines and devices, thereby contributing to the development of our state.
At this moment the profession of engineer is once again becoming a prestigious and well-paid. Factories, Railways, workshops, small private firms need of people engineering professions. Wherever there is any equipment needed, engineers are able to maintain it at a high level, and the technique now in all areas of production, without it can not exist even the simplest industrial enterprise.
I think engineer is a very interesting job. There are so many interesting fields that I can choose from, such as civil engineering, electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, etc.
A good engineer should be accurate, careful, concentrated and serious. He should work with computers, have creative idea. An engineer should speak a foreign language.
I think this profession is for me and I will succeed.
Dialogue: Education of Children in America
Oleg: Do your children go to school?
James: My son is in his freshman year at a technical college and my daughter goes to junior high school.
Oleg: What does it mean – «junior high school»?
James: In most schools in the USA today the twelve grades of school are divided into six years of elementary training, three years of junior high school and the last three years of senior high school.
Oleg: Now I understand. Is the education compulsory in the USA?
James: Yes. All states require every girl and boy to go to school starting with the age of six.
Oleg: What about higher education? Is it expensive in America?
James: It is rather expensive. Many American students get financial support from their parents or relatives.
Oleg: Can American students go to the university free of charge?
James: Everyone must pay the tuition fee. Its amount varies from state to state. This creates a financial hard-ship for some young people. However, each University offers a number of scholarships to deserving students.
Oleg: Are scholarships given only by universities?
James: Not really. Scholarships come from different sources: state authorities, private persons, US Army, various churches and funds. Some young people can even get their scholarships for their athletic ability. Some are given for scholastic abilities. You have to compete to get your scholarship. You must do well, excel in something, show superior academic achievement.
Oleg: Does your son know what he wants to major in?
James: Not for sure. He hasn`t made up his mind yet, but I think it will be either mechanical or civil engineering.
Oleg: That is a very good career for a boy.
James: Perhaps it is. We wanted him to be a lawyer but he is keen on building bridges and things like that. That`s why he applied for admission to a technical college last year.
Oleg: Let`s hope he will be a good engineer.э
Начальная школа (Elementary School) рассчитана на детей с 6 до 12 лет и включает обучение в классах с 1-го по 5-й.
Даже в таком юном возрасте учеников разделяют по способностям, чтобы развивать индивидуальные таланты. Начиная с третьего класса каждый ребенок пишет специальные тесты. В зависимости от их результатов учителя делают упор в их обучении на тот или иной предмет. В начальной школе существуют классы для одаренных детей и для отстающих — от этого зависит уровень домашней нагрузки и глубина изучения предметов.
Middle School: предметы на выбор
В Middle School обязательными предметами являются математика, английский язык, естественные науки, социальные науки (в том числе мировая история) и физкультура. Начиная с 8-го класса ученики могут самостоятельно выбирать предметы для изучения. Как правило, это иностранные языки, искусство или технология.
High School: еще больше свободы
В High School ребята могут заниматься в нескольких дополнительных классах. Это актуальные предметы, которые пригодятся при поступлении в вуз на востребованные специальности:
иностранные языки; компьютерная графика и веб-дизайн; информатика; робототехника; журналистика; кинематограф; театральное искусство.
Минимальные требования школьного совета для получения диплома:
изучение математики — 2 года, английского языка — 4 года, естественных наук — 2 года, социальных наук — 3 года.
После сдачи выпускных экзаменов все ученики получают High School Graduation Diploma. Те, кто желает глубже изучить предметы, по которым планируется специализация в университете, могут пойти в 13 класс — Advanced Placement. Обучение по этой программе дает льготы при поступлении в 90% вузов США, Канады, Великобритании и еще более 50 государств. Отличные отметки дают приоритет при зачислении в престижные вузы США: University of Central Florida, the University of Illinois in Chicago, Louisiana State University, University of the Pacific, American University Washington.
Учебный год
В большинстве американских школ учебный год начинается в конце августа и длится от 170 до 186 дней. Выходные и каникулы зависят от конкретного штата. Самые распространенные каникулы в течение учебного года, как правило, связаны с праздниками: Днем благодарения, Рождеством и Пасхой.
Система высшего образования в США
В Америке более 4700 высших учебных заведений, в которых обучаются 21 млн. студентов, среди них порядка 5% иностранных граждан (по данным на 2015 год). В колледжах и университетах США ежегодно обучаются 4900 российских студентов.
Чем колледжи отличаются от университетов
Вузы, которые предлагают только программы бакалавриата, называются колледжами. Как правило, большинство из них частные. Колледжи гуманитарной направленности называют «колледжами свободных искусств», многие из них сравнимы по престижности с университетами Лиги плюща.
Главное отличие колледжей от университетов — наличие у последних магистратуры, докторантуры и масштабных научно-исследовательских программ. В структуру университетов могут входить несколько колледжей: например, в Yale University их 14.
Подробнее о магистратуре в США
Университеты бывают как частные, так и государственные. На оснащение или учебный процесс способ финансирования не влияет. Однако большинство американских школьников мечтают учиться в частных вузах — классы в них меньше, и у преподавателей есть возможность уделять студентам больше внимания.
Оценки-буквы и GPA
В США используется пятибалльная система оценок. Оценки обозначаются не цифрами, а буквами, и их действительно пять: А (отлично), В (хорошо), С (удовлетворительно), D (слабо) и F (неудовлетворительно).
А соответствует нашей «5», B – «4», С и D – это «3», обе они являются проходным баллом, а вот F – это «2».
Существует и дополнительная градация: ко всем оценкам, кроме F, преподаватели и учителя могут добавлять знаки «+» или «-». Относительно недавно в США начала использоваться буква N, обозначающая, что зачет не сдан и оценок нет.
Учителям запрещено оглашать оценки вслух, вне зависимости от балла, при этом неважно, получена она за контрольную работу или ответ у доски. Согласно принципам американского обучения, каждый ученик должен ориентироваться на собственный прогресс. Любое сравнение может негативно отразиться на его мотивации.
Хотя это вовсе не означает, что оценки – вещь малозначимая. Наоборот – при поступлении в университет будет учитываться, в какой процентной десятке по успеваемости находится абитуриент. Те, кто попал в первые 10% лучших учеников, получают грамоту High Honors (аналогия нашего аттестата с отличием), и эта бумажка станет существенным преимуществом при поступлении в ВУЗ. Вторая и третья десятка дает право на получение диплома Honors, что тоже неплохо. Остальные получат лишь сертификат о среднем образовании.
Оценка успеваемости в вузах основана на результатах семестровых экзаменов, защиты проектов и т.д. При этом итоговый показатель успеваемости GPA (Grade Point Average) имеет числовое значение.
