Variant 1 When children are two or three years old, they sometimes go to a nursery school where they learn simple games and songs. Their first real school is called a primary school. In Britain, children start this school at the age of five. The academic year in Britain begins in September and is divided into three terms. Schools break up for the summer holiday in July. Secondary education begins at the age of about eleven, and most schools at this level are co-educational, which means boys and girls study together in the same classes. In Britain education is compulsory from five to 16 years of age, but many children choose to remain at school for another two or three years after 16 to take higher exams. Most children go to state schools, which are maintained by the government or local education authorities, but some children go to private schools, which can be very expensive. University courses normally last three years and then students ), graduate which means they receive their degree. At university, teaching is by the tutorial (an individual lesson between a teacher and one or two students), seminar (a class of students discussing a subject with a teacher), lecture (when a teacher gives a prepared talk to several students), and of course private study. Most people who receive a university place are given a grant by the government to help pay their fees and living expenses.
