Education
In a typical school system in many countries, there are two kinds of schools: state school, which are run by the government, and private school. Private school are often stricter than state school, and in many of them the pupils have to wear uniforms.
Both state and private school are often mixed or are for boys only or girls only. There are also some schools, usually private, where the pupils sleep at school, which are called boarding school.
The boss of a school is called the head. In some religious schools there are also nuns and priest who work as teachers.
At university you can do courses in many different subjects. Some students prefer to do an arts course and others prefer a science course. In Britain, it usually takes three or four years to get a university degree. When they finish their course, some people stay at university and do research. The most important teachers at a university are called professors.
I am a student and I attend the secondary school. After the nursery I went to primary school, where I studied for six years. At the age of 13 I was accepted at a secondary school where I am studying at the moment. Our school is a big-storey building with a large schoolyard and a park around it. On the ground floor you can find the hall, some classrooms and the school canteen. Most classrooms are on the first and second floors. Our school has also get some special laboratories such as language, music, physics, chemistry and arts. We have a large school gymnasium and different playing fields around the building.
I am afraid I don’t do very well at school. I prefer going out with friends and listening to dance music. I am in the fourth year of secondary school. I don’t particularly enjoy being a schoolgirl. Firstly because I don’t like studying and secondly because I hate doing the homework they set us every day. I like doing what I am interested in and dislike being told what to do. I don’t like literature. I get on all right with most of my classmates. I think the teacher-student relationship is ideal in our school. I don’t like all my teachers, only a few. Normally, we have six periods a day. My form-teacher is a nice man of about 50. He doesn’t keep his distance and is kind to everybody. He teaches Maths and Physics.
Jobs
Nowadays in many countries, there is not enough work for everybody, and many people are looking for a job. If they are lucky enough to find one, it is often a part-time not full time, or it's a temporary job, not a permanent one. Many jobs involve working long hours, and often the working conditions are not good. To get a good job, it's important to have qualifications and some experience.
These days a lot of young people would like to become lawyer or economist, or they would like to find a job in connection with computer science. The main reason why these jobs are so popular is that they are well-paid. Most young people would like to work for a good salary, a big company car, a mobile phone and a laptop, the chance of travelling abroad on business.
A good job must be challenging and motivating. I would like to work with people and help them. It's very important for me to enjoy what I do and be a member of a good team.
Women have become more career-oriented. They don't have to stay at home and look after their children as there are creches and nursery schools. They go to work simply because their family needs the money.
I think that middle-aged and eldery people are at a disadvantage when they are looking for a job because most companies advertise jobs for people under 35.
If you want to get a good job, you must have a degree and more than one language certificate.
The most frequent reason is that an employee is made redundant and has to find another job. He or she has to leave either because the firm goes bankrupt or closes down, or because the employer is not satisfied with his or her work. There might be family reasons as well. Some people have to change jobs because of their health. There are people who change for a better-paid job or a job with better benefits. Others change jobs just because their tasks have become monotonous and they need a change.
If you want to apply for a position, you will need to write a CV. A CV contains personal details, such as the candidate's name, address, phone number, nationality, date of birth, and marital status. You must give details of your education and qualifications, your previous experience, your command of language and other skills. You may also include a list of your interests. It's advisable to add names of people who can provide references.
