2. Do you agree that our school gives a person a good start in life? Why (not)?

Yes, I do. School gives a person a good start in life.

A good start means the opportunity to get a good University education and to start a good career. It means *literacy and knowledge, *ethics, *aesthetics, *health and physical training, *careers guidance.

School teaches us to develop critical and creative thinking, to form our views and outlook, our attitude to life and people. It plays a very important social role. School offers opportunities to develop our abilities and provides good conditions for that. School helps to understand our strengths and weaknesses and find our place in the world. Knowledge acquired at school enables students either to continue our education or start working.

Our school is a good start because modern education helps young people develop their personalities and make their way in society. Talented pupils have privileges. Final Exam and Unified State exams test competence deeply. Schooling leads you into a job.

We are taught to love our Motherland, to treat Nature carefully, to be honest, hardworkingand useful to the community.

The modern school is much more than classes, tests, breaks and laughs.

I am definitely sure, it`s a life necessity. School should prepare people for life.

Physical training is paid much attention to at schools, as it is necessary to train a harmoniously developed person.

Self-educational skills are sufficiently formed. The personality of a pupil is taken into account. Teachers are able to sort out problems of contemporary education.

The curriculum of modern school consists of the formal curriculum (academic subjects ),the informal curriculum (extra Curriculum activities), the hidden curriculum (the Relationship between teacher and pupils)

1. Let's talk about education. What can you tell me about the place where you study?

School! …Lessons, clubs, homework, games…A bell rings- you have lunch. A bell rings - you go home. But one day you go to school for the last time…

What is school for you? It's at this time that we make friends and learn to understand life. We are little children when we begin to attend school. We leave it grown-ups. There are no roses without thorns: we are lucky and we have bad days.(Our school life is like a zebra with black and white stripes). There are a lot of problems connected with school life. Scholl is the place where almost everything happens for the first time: we make our first friends, meet our first love and confront the first betrayal. We read the first book here and experience the first victories and defeats. It is the time of great expectations and emotions and not all emotions are pleasant. We learn to understand the difference between «Good» and «Evil».

(Some students like school, others think they hate it, but they all study for 10 or more years and gain knowledge. Millions of children go to school every day. School life is not a bad of roses, it is like a zebra, with black and white stripes. We have good days and bad days. I am absolutely sure that school plays an important role in every pupil’s life. School provides us with a certain amount of knowledge in sciences and humanities, renders assistance in facing the outside world. It is the place where we make friends, learn to value morel qualities in people and develop our talents and skills.)
