The Royal Family
At present the British royal family is headed by Queen Elizabeth. When the Queen was born on the 21st of April 1926, her grandfather, King George V, was on the throne and her uncle was his heir. The death of her grandfather and the abdication of her uncle brought her father to the throne as King George VI.
As a child she studied constitutional history and law as well as art and music. In addition she learned to ride and acquired her enthusiasm for horses. As she grew older she began to take part in public life, making her first broadcast at the age of 14.
The marriage of the young Princess Elizabeth to Philip, Duke of Edinburgh took place in November 1947. She came to the throne after her father's death in 1952 and was crowned in Westminster Abbey in June 1953.
Among Queen Elizabeth's many duties are the regular visits she makes to foreign countries, and especially those of the Commonwealth, whose interests and welfare are very important to her. The Queen has allowed the BBC to make a documentary film about the every day of the royal family. She also started the tradition of the "walkabout", an informal feature of an otherwise formal royal visit, when she walks among the public crowds and stops to talk to some people.
The annual Christmas broadcast made by the Queen on radio and television has become a traditional and popular feature of the season, and there were widespread celebrations and special programmes of events in 1977 to mark her Silver Jubilee.
The Queen's husband, Duke of Edinburgh, was born in 1926 and served in the Royal Navy. He takes a great deal of interest in industry, in the achievements of young people (he founded Duke of Edinburgh's Award Scheme in 1956) and in saving raise wild animals from extinction.
The Queen's heir is Charles, Prince of Wales, who was born in 1948, married Lady Diana Spencer and has two children, Prince William and Prince Harry. The Prince of Wales is well-known as a keen promoter of British interests.
In recent years he has become outspoken on such controversial topics as modern architecture, violence in films and on television, and the standard of English teaching in schools. His wife Diana, Princess of Wales (often called in mass media Princess Di), won the affection of many people by her modesty, shyness and beauty. Unfortunately, she died in a car accident in August, 1997.
The Queen's other children are Princess Anne (born in 1950), Prince Andrew (born in 1960) and Prince Edward (born in 1964). Anne, Princess Royal, has acquired a reputation for being arrogant, but in recent years has become quite popular with the general public.
The Queen is widely known for her interest in horses and horse-racing. She is now president of the Save the Children Fund, Chancellor of the University of London and carries out many public engagements.
Prince Andrew, Duke of York, served as a helicopter pilot in the Royal Navy. In 1986 he married Miss Sarah Ferguson (Fergie, for short) and has two daughters.
Prince Edward is keen on the theatre. This interest began while he was at university. He quit the Royal Marines, and is now pursuing a career with a theatrical company.
The Queen Mother, the widow of the late King George VI, celebrated her one hundred birthday in 2 000 and died in 2002. The Queen's only sister, Princess Margaret, Countess of Snowdon, is well-known for her charity work.

вот смотри, вспом. глагол означает слово "есть", то есть в русском языке используется как нулевая связка.

А это значит, что мы спокойно можем заменить слово "есть" на глагол "был", "будет" и т.д.

В этом и есь смысл задания, в умении менять времена)

Итак, начнем с начтоящего времени.

в начальной форме мы видим перезент симпл.Для того, чтобы заменить симпл континиусом мы можем добавить слово "Now" в конце.

т.е. получается "School education is free in state schools now"

третьим временем возьмем презент перфект

образование презент перфект  - это Subdject + have + V3

"School education have been free in state schools."

been я добавила, потому что это третья форма глагола be.Получилось образование как в презент перфект континиус, но значение немного другое.

с будущим и будет немного полегче.

Future simple

School education will be free in state schools.

просто ставим вспом. глагол will и добавляем замену "is"-be.

Past simple

school education was free in state school.

was-вторая форма глагола be.

My School (7)

I've just left school and I would like to tell you a few words about it. My school is not very big. It is quite a modern three-storeyed building. More than four hundred pupils study there. It is a specialised school famous for its high-quality education and strict discipline.

When the pupils come to school, they leave their coats in the cloakroom on the ground floor. The gym, the canteen, the library and workshops are also on the ground floor. We have two workshops: one for girls, where they learn to cook, to sew and to knit, and another for boys. Our gym is large and well equipped.

On the first floor there is a large assembly hall. We have our meetings there, and on some holidays parties are held there. The principal's office, the computer class and the language laboratory are also on the first floor. Physics, chemistry and biology laboratories are on the second floor.

The classrooms for junior pupils are on the first floor, and for the seniors on the second floor. In every classroom there are two or three rows of desks with the teacher's table in front. There is a blackboard and a bookcase. There are some pictures and maps on the walls. Many classrooms are equipped with computers, screens and projectors.

I went to school six days a week. Classes began at half past eight in the morning, but I usually came to school ten minutes earlier. Each lesson lasted forty-five minutes. After three or four lessons we had a thirty-minute break. During this break we went to the canteen to have lunch. Every day we had six lessons, and they were over at three o'clock in the afternoon.

We usually had a lot of homework and it took me several hours to do it. Sometimes I had to stay up to write a composition, to prepare a report, to translate a newspaper article from English into Russian or to learn a poem by heart.

After classes I usually didn't go home right away. We had some out-of-class activities. Our social and cultural life was well-organised.

For example, we had an orchestra, a choir, an arts club and an International Friendship Club. I was a member of the drama club.

At school we had classes in Russian, Literature, Mathematics, Biology, Geography, Physics, Chemistry, English, History, Computer Programming. We also had Music, Physical Education, Arts and Crafts.

My favourite subject was English. I liked to learn new words, to dramatise texts and dialogues. I liked it when we discussed something interesting, when we were taught to debate, when we had small-group discussions or set up a role-play.

But I wasn't very good at Chemistry. I always failed to learn formulas and terms properly. Maybe our Chemistry teacher was too serious, too academic. She was not imaginative enough and her lessons were a little bit dull. There was not enough excitement for us to get interested in the subject.

I liked my class. I always felt at home there. Everybody was so friendly and easy to get along with. I was on good terms with my classmates and we often spent our free time together.
