their primary education before 6 if they have enough capacity? I mean they can
read and write even at the age of five.

principle.
A. Oh! What's I he level of
education after the primary education?
B. It's the Secondary
education. And this level is divided into two stages: lower and upper secondary
schools.

these two stages?

differences do you know?

systems have the same three levels of education, and the starting age of
schooling.

England a pupil can attend a class if he or she has enough capacity as
required.
B. About the differences I
see there are a lot.
C. For example?
B. The academic year. In
Vietnam there are only two periods of schooling in a year, each of which lasts
about five months or so.
A. I see. In England an
academic year is divided into three by season.
D. And one more difference:
in England students needn’t take any exam to enter the upper secondary schools.
C. But we should not ignore the
most major difference: the tuition fee for nursery, primary and secondary
educations. For these three levels, people do not pay any tuition in England. I
mean they are totally free and compulsory.
B. Oh, really?
C. LISTENING
Work in pairs. Ask and answer the questions. (Làm việc từng đôi.
Hỏi và trả lời các câu hỏi.)
- I'm' good at Maths and Physics.
- I'm' good at Maths and Physics.
- Certainly I enjoy Maths and
Physics most as they are my favourite subjects. I find them interesting because
these subjects relate to all things which happen in my life and the nature, for
example the rule of expansion of solid substances,...
The subject I enjoy least is,
to tell the truth, political education. At my age I think I cannot understand
any concepts or thoughts on it. Therefore I find it very boring. What
ideologies or political doctrines mean is nothing to our little mind.
