сад leave school if they wish. Some 16-year-olds continue their studies in the sixth form at school or at a sixth form college. The sixth form prepares pupils for a national exam called "A" level (Advanced Level) at 18. You need "A" levels to enter a university. 7 per cent of British school children go to private schools. These schools are very expensive. They are called independent schools. There are three levels of private schools: pre-preparatory schools (for children aged from 5 to 7 or 8); preparatory (prep) schools (for pupils aged from7 or 8 to 13) and public schools (for pupils aged from 13 to 18). Prep schools prepare children for the Common Entrance Exam which they take at the age of 11. Many preparatory and most public schools are boarding schools: children live at school during the school terms. Some "public schools" have a long history and tradition. Eton is the best known of these schools. It is possible to enter the best English Universities after leaving public schools. In England there are 47 universities. The oldest and most famous universities are Oxford and Cambridge. 2.

I’d like to tell you about holidays which we like to celebrate with my family. Most of all we like New year, Mother's Day and Easter.

We often cook different tasty dishes for holidays. For example, chicken casserole, meat pie and fried turkey.

Soon we will celebrate the national holiday Maslenitsa. Usually we cook a lot of food, go to visit, walk and have fun on this day. We celebrate Shrovetide week. These days we eat a lot of food. The most important dish is the "symbol of the sun" Pancakes. This week, it is the duty of every person to help drive away the winter and awaken nature from winter sleep.

Welcome to Maslenitsa! You’ll have lots of fun!

Я хотел бы рассказать вам о праздниках, которые мы любим отмечать с моей семьей. Больше всего нам нравится Новый год, День Матери и Пасха.

Мы часто готовим разные вкусные блюда к праздникам. Например, куриная запеканка, мясной пирог и жареная индейка.

В ближайшее время мы будем отмечать национальный праздник Масленица.

Обычно мы готовим много еды, ходим в гости, гуляем и веселимся в этот день. Мы Масленицу празднуем неделю. В эти дни мы едим много еды. Самое главное блюдо - это "символ солнца" Блины. В эту неделю долг каждого человека прогнать зиму и пробудить природу от зимнего сна.

Добро в Масленицу! Вам будет очень весело!
