I. Read and translate the texts about students from England, translate them and answer the questions

Hello, my name is John Green, I am eighteen and I live in England. When I was four my parents decided it would be good for me to go to the nursery school.

In my country children do not have to go to school until they reach the age of five but there is some free nursery education before that age.

But I liked to go to school when I was little; we had a lot of fun playing group games. Then the teacher taught us how to read, write and count.

Later I went to the primary school where we began to study other subjects plus foreign languages – German and French. When I turned eleven it was the right time for me to pass an Eleven Plus exam, and I passed it successfully. There were kids in my class who didn’t want to pass this exam or who failed to pass it – so they went to secondary modern schools straight.

I went to the grammar school where I continued to study foreign languages plus some compulsory subjects. Three months ago the school was over and I passed an “A” level exam and entered the Oxford University.
