Secondary modern schools – children receive a general and practical education until they are 15; 2). Grammar schools – they learn until they are 18 and then transfer to places of higher education; 3). Comprehensive schools – all types of secondary education are given, courses are chosen from a wide range of subjects; 4) In some areas there are Middle schools for children from 9 to 13 who then move to senior comprehensive schools. The school day starts at 9 o’clock and finishes at about 4 o’clock. Independent schools are payable, fees are charged but there exist government help in providing free places. Higher education.

Drahomanov National Pedagogical University It was considered till recently, that the history of our university dates from the 15th July 1920, when the Kiev National Education Institute (KNEI) formally appeared, and it was called in the honour of M.P. Drahomanov. But the last decade’s historical-pedagogical researches, scientific conferences and round table meetings admit the fact, that the date of KNEI appearance was falsified. KNEI formation had had more profound historical basis, launched as far back as in 1834 by the Pedagogical Institute of St. Volodymir Kiev University. In 1920 KNEI inherited from it its premises, its pedagogical and professorial staff, libraries and traditions of teaching personnel. The date of National pedagogical University foundation is supposed to be the November, 21st, 1834 (or December, 4th according to the new style.) Here’s a brief history of the University: December, 4th, 1834 (new style) – actual opening of the Special Pedagogical Establishment of St. Volodymir Kiev University; 1858 – Pedagogical Institute had transformed into the Higher two-year pedagogical courses of the St. Volodymir University; 1863 - Kiev Higher pedagogical courses were created on the basis of the Higher two-years pedagogical courses; 1909 - transformation of Kiev Higher pedagogical courses for men into the Teacher Institute; 1920 - inclusion of St. Volodymir Unversity, Higher courses for women (St. Olga University), the Teacher Institute and other establishments to Drahomanov National Pedagogical Institute; 1933 - transformation of Drahomanov KNEI into Gorky Kiev Pedagogical Institute (since 1936); 1935, May – the graduation of the first teachers who were certified by the Pedagogical Institute; 1991 - Kiev State Pedagogical University was created on basis of Gorky Kiev Pedagogical Institute; it received again the Drahomanov title; 1997- The University was given the status of the State University. 5.4. Conversational Topic: Your achievements at University. 6 . Writing Use the vocabulary of the texts A, B, C, D and your own experience to write about lifelong learning. Note: Lifelong learning provides adults with learning opportunities at all ages and in various contexts: at work, at home and through leisure activities, not just through formal channels such as school and higher education. One of the reasons why lifelong education has become important is the acceleration in the progress of science and technology. Learning prepares us for change. Therefore, you should be open to new ideas, decisions, skills or behaviours. Follow the structure of any writing in the English language: Introduction: In the first paragraph we introduce the topic: the purpose and content of your writing and / or explain the reason for it; you can use such techniques as a reference to some scene or a situation, a rhetorical question, a quotation, etc. Main body: it is common to divide writing into organized paragraphs. Most written texts have several paragraphs which connect logically to each other. Ideas should be united with the help of appropriate linking words (to start with, because of this, to be honest, I wonder; personally, I think, if I were, what I particulary like is, definitely, first of all, also, however, besides, what is more, what we need is, although, such as, for example, in conclusion, so that, on condition that, on the one hand, on the other hand, finally, as a result, therefore, to sum up, etc.) A variety of adjectives and adverbs can be used to make the writing more appealing to the reader. Include the things we can see, feel, hear, smell and taste. Conclusion: write closing remarks and summarise / state your personal opinion. Reread the written work and check for grammar and / or spelling mistakes. It is important to make sure that your writing is accurate and its meaning is clear. TEST TWO Grammar and Vocabulary 1. Circle the correct item.
2. Fill in the missing word.
