Обсуждение прочитанного дома текста “Knowledge Is Power”
The main problem for today`s discussion: “Knowledge is power”. This statement means
that the more a man knows, the greater power he has. Knowledge has given man his great
power.
You may think that one cannot know everything. It is correct, of course, but everybody
must try to increase his knowledge. You get knowledge at school, from books, magazines,
radio and TV programmes, the Internet.
Knowledge of history helps us to understand the past, the present and the future. If your
knowledge of other school subjects is good, it will help you in your future life.
What do people do if they do not something important for their work or profession? As a
rule, they try to get knowledge about it. They try to learn and understand what they do
not know and try to use it in practical life.
We need knowledge to be more useful for our country.
Teacher: Look through the text “Knowledge Is Power” and define the main idea of the text. Prove it.
Pupils: I think the main idea of the text is that everyone must try to increase his knowledge. (Цитата из текста)
I suppose knowledge will help us in future. (Цитата из текста)
Работа с текстом “Schools in England”
Teacher: As you know, children go to school in every country.
So, put your books aside and take the texts “Schools in England” and materials
to the texts, given to you. We are working with this text.
England has got a very interesting system of education. Education is classdivided in
England. There are some state schools in England. They are infant schools, junior schools
and secondary schools.
British boys and girls begin to go to school at the age of 5. They draw pictures,
sing songs, play games, listen to the stories and tales. British children begin to
read and write when they enter the infant schools.
Little children are divided into two groups, according to their mental abilities. Children
leave infant schools when they are 7 years old. They begin to study at junior schools
where they learn to write, to read and to do mathematics. Boys and girls have got many
interesting school subjects. They are History, English, Mathematics, Art, Music, Sport,
Computing, Cooking.
When the pupils enter the junior schools, they are divided into three groups according to
the results of the tests and intellectual abilities. Boys and girls study at junior
schools for four years. Then they take their examinations and enter secondary schools.
There are some types of secondary schools in England. They are: grammar schools, modern
schools and comprehensive schools. In England boys and girls go to a secondary school from
11 till 16 years old. They don't go to school on Saturdays and Sundays.
One can attend modern school, but pupils don't learn foreign languages at such schools.
If pupils go to grammar schools they will have a good theoretical secondary education. The
other secondary school is a comprehensive school. Almost all secondary school pupils (90
%) go there.
There are some private schools in England. Boys and girls don't study together at these
schools. The sons of the aristocracy go to public schools and their parents pay much money
for their education.
Independent and preparatory schools are private schools too. They prepare pupils for
public schools for money . The teachers of the private schools pay personal attention to
each pupil. It is possible to enter the best English Universities after leaving public
schools. After finishing grammar schools pupils have good knowledge and may continue
to study in colleges or Universities.
Pupils have school uniforms in England .It is an old tradition in the country. A boy's
uniform consists of a special suit, a school cap, a tie and a blazer. A girl's uniform
consists of a hat, a coat, a skirt and a blouse. As usual their uniform is dark.

Oxford
These towers and spires are part of Oxford University, the oldest university in
Britain. Students have been coming here for eight hundred years. It began in the twelfth
century with small groups of teachers giving lessons in churches. Today the university is
a federation of thirty-five colleges with hundreds of buildings and a total of 12,000
students.
It is a place of young people and old traditions: here teachers are called dons and still
wear black gowns. Students are taught one-to-one in the Socratic tradition. At the
university library you can still see notes in Latin – the ancient language of scholars.
Students at Oxford are surrounded by beautiful stone buildings and by reminders of the
university’s long history and old traditions.
This is Hertford College, one of the smaller colleges in the university. About 200
students live and work here. But life at Oxford is not all work: there are clubs and
societies for every interest and every kind of sport. This is croquet, which began as a
French game but is now more popular in Britain.
The Sheldonian Theatre, used for concerts and university ceremonies. Opposite the
Sheldonian is the most famous shop in Oxford, where students and dons buy books. There are
books on every subject and one of the largest book rooms in the world, with seven
kilometers of shelves.
Oxford has a large number of pubs and cafes, where you can buy cheap food or have a drink
with your friends. In termtime they are full of students; in summer the tourists take
over.
Two rivers flow through the city and past the colleges. This boat is called a punt. If you
visit Oxford or Cambridge, you should try punting on the river – it is fun, but it is
not so easy as it looks. You should also visit some of the beautiful gardens in and around
Oxford. This garden has a maze. First you must find the centre of the maze. It can take
quite a long time. And it is difficult to find the way out!
