3a Выберите лучшее слово (А, В, С или D) для каждого пропуска (1-8).

Ты с нетерпением 1) ждешь, когда пойдешь в школу или ты абсолютно боишься(dread) этого? Или, возможно, ты бы предпочел пойти в школу где-то еще! На этой неделе журнал Go рассмотрит, насколько разными бывают школы 2) в мире.

А.

В мире существует много видов школ. Некоторые дорогие, частные школы-интернаты, как, например Школа Регби в Англии, где была изобретена(inventend) игра регби! Также есть специальные школы, например школы драмы, танцевальные школы или 40 акробатических школ в Уцяо, в Китае. Это может звучать смешно, но как объясняет 13-летний Чжан Ли: «Наша тренировка(training) начинается 5:30 утра. Это очень тяжело, но эти навыки(skills) помогут мне 3) зарабатывать на жизнь, когда я закончу школу». Также в разных школах огромное количество учебных предметов. В Средней школе Холдена в США, предметы включают в себя рисование комиксов, уроки фотографии, написание песен и йогу.

В.

В школе в горах Аннапурна в Непале, занятия не начинаются раньше 10 утра потому, что многие ученики вынуждены пройти пешком час, чтобы добраться до школы. В Японии нет ничего необычного(unusual) в том, чтобы 4) тратить 2 часа или больше, чтобы добраться до школы на общественном транспорте(public trasport) «Это не так уж и плохо» — говорит 15-летний Кейко из Токио. «Иногда я учусь или сплю в поезде, и это хороший способ догнать моих друзей 5) по учебе».

С.

Средняя продолжительность учебного дня в Великобритании и США – 6 с половиной часов для учащихся средней школы. Ученикам в Корее и Греции, 6) однако не так повезло! После школы они посещают(attend) дополнительные занятия в частных школах. «Обычно, — говорит Джи Ким из Сеула, Южная Корея, — я не возвращаюсь домой раньше полуночи, но если я не буду упорно заниматься, я не 7) поступлю в хороший университет».

D.

Во всех школах есть правила, но иногда они действительно строгие(strict). В колледже Итон, очень известной школе-интернате для мальчиков в Англии, студенты носят изящную(smart), но очень старомодную форму(old-fashioned unifom) с длинным пиджаком, штанами и рубашкой; в Японии все должны участвовать(participate) в «о содзи» или уборке школы перед тем, как идти домой, в то время как в школе Саммерхилл в Англии, где студенты сами 8) придумывают правила!

Е.

Итак, твоя школа лучше или хуже, чем школы в других частях мира? Неважно каков твой ответ, мы не должны забывать, что у 300 миллионов детей в мире нет школ, чтобы в них ходить. Так что если ты даже захочешь изменить какие-то вещи в своей школе, ты один из счастливчиков!
