From: Alexia
To: Nora
Object: school in Britain
Dear Paola,I know you want to have some information about school in Britain. Here you
are!In my country children start primary school when they are five. When we are eleven we
go to secondary school. We attend this school from the age of five to the age of sixteen. At
secondary school we study: English, Maths, Science, History, Geography, Art, Music, one or
two foreign languages (I study French and Spanish), ICT (Information and Communication
Technology), Technology, Citizenship, PSHE (Personal Social Health Education) and Physical
Education (this is my favourite subject!!! Our PE teacher is great!). When we are sixteen we
take an exam called GCSE (General Certificate of Secondary Education). After this exam we
can leave school, or if we want we can continue to study for another two years. When
students are eighteen they take an exam called A-levels (Advanced levels) and then, if they
want, they can go to university.We usually go to school from Monday to Friday. We start at
about 9 o’clock and we finish at 3.30 or 4 p.m. We have lunch at school, but I don’t like
school food! So I eat the packed lunch I bring from home: a cheese or ham sandwich, an
apple and some chocolate. I usually drink orange juice. Sometimes we have after school
clubs: we can play a sport or play a musical instrument. On Tuesday I have piano
lessons!That’s all for now. Write to me soon about school in Italy. How many subjects do you
study? What are your favourite subjects? Do you have after school clubs? When do you have
exams?
