Reading & Speaking: systemy edukacji i porównywanie szkół

Po tej lekcji będziesz umieć

Reading & SpeakingEducation systemsCompare schools
Zaznacz, gdy opanujesz
  • znaleźć w tekście informacje o systemie edukacji,
  • porównać szkoły według konkretnych kryteriów,
  • używać zwrotów: while, whereas, both, however,
  • wyrazić opinię o systemie szkolnym,
  • zbudować krótką odpowiedź speaking w stylu maturalnym.

Po co porównywać szkoły na maturze?

Temat edukacji wraca w readingu, speakingu, e-mailu i zadaniach opiniujących. CKE nie oczekuje encyklopedii o systemie szkolnym, tylko umiejętności porównania informacji i uzasadnienia opinii.

Słabo: Schools are different. → Dobrze: Schools are different because students start school at different ages and take different exams.

📄 Pokaż transkrypt
Ania: Hi, Ben. You go to school in England, right? I'm curious. Is your school very different from mine?
Ben: In some ways, yes. In England, students usually start school quite early, when they are about five. What about Poland?
Ania: In Poland, children usually start primary school at the age of seven. So that's one difference.
Ben: Interesting. What subjects do you study?
Ania: We have many compulsory subjects, like Polish, maths, English, history, biology and geography. We can't choose many subjects in the first years of secondary school.
Ben: In my school, we also have compulsory subjects. However, older students can choose some optional subjects, for example art, drama or computer science.
Ania: That sounds nice. In my school, students often have a lot of homework. We also take tests quite often.
Ben: We have homework too, but it depends on the subject. Both systems have exams, but the exams are not exactly the same.
Ania: Do you have to wear a uniform?
Ben: Yes, we do. We wear a shirt, trousers and a school jumper. Some students don't like it, but I think it saves time in the morning. Do you wear uniforms in Poland?
Ania: No, most students don't wear uniforms. We can usually wear our own clothes, but we still have school rules.
Ben: What do you like about your school?
Ania: I like group projects because they help me work with other people. However, I would like to have more optional subjects.
Ben: I agree. In my opinion, students should have some choice because it helps them develop their interests.

In my opinion, optional subjects are useful because students can develop their interests.
