1.45 Unit 3c , exercises 4 and 5

Hi, my name’s Nick and I go to Abingdon School. It’s a big private school near Oxford, in the middle of England. It’s a very old school – about 700 years old. There are about 800 students here, and about 100 teachers. There are only boys – there aren’t any girls. Some boys live at home and just come to school for lessons, like in a normal school, but I live in the school during the term. I go home for the holidays of course. All the boys wear a uniform – that’s special clothes. The uniform is a dark blue jacket; light blue shirt; grey trousers; black shoes and socks; and a tie. We work very hard but I like my school. I want to do A levels and then go to university.

Hi, I’m Stephanie and I’m at Oaklands School in London. It’s a state secondary school in the east of London. It’s a mixed school, for boys and girls. There are about 600 students in the school, and some of them come from come different countries – there are lots of Pakistani, West Indian, Indian and Chinese students here. There are 89 teachers. I come to school five days a week. Lessons start at 9 and finish at 4. We wear a uniform at my school. I don’t like the uniform – it’s a green T-shirt or sweatshirt and a grey skirt – trousers for the boys, of course. School’s not bad, but I want to leave after my GCSEs and get a job.
