Let’s talk about education. What can you tell me about your school?

I would like to tell you a few words about my school. I went to school in 20_ _. This school is a three stored building. When you enter the school yard you can see beautiful flowers. To the left of the school building there is a big playground. When you enter the school you can see a large hall and a cloak-room. On the ground floor there is also a gym, a dining-room and classrooms for primary school pupils.

Classrooms for senior pupils, the assembly hall, the teachers’ room are on the upper floors. There are special classrooms for Chemistry, Physics, Biology, History, Geography, English, and Russian.

School provides children not only with knowledge. It’s also a place where children spend their free time. Going to school also means you will have a lot of friends. They are shoulders for you to cry on when you are sad or happy so your sadness will be less, and your happiness will be twice.

Do you agree that Belarusian secondary school provides a person with good knowledge? Why (not)?

Generally speaking, I should say that children have got good opportunities to get good knowledge. Education plays a very important role in our life. It is one of the most valuable possessions a man can get in his life. We get our knowledge of this world and life through education. Many famous discoveries would have been impossible if people were not interested in learning something. Education develops different sides of human personality, reveals his abilities. Besides, it helps a person to understand himself, to choose the right way in this world. During all the periods of human history education ranked high among people. Human progress mostly depended upon well-educated people.

The aim of our secondary education is to learn social skills, to develop critical thinking, to develop understanding of other people, to prepare for life in the workplace and many others.

Ask me whether I liked school when I was a pupil.

- Did you like your school when you were a pupil?

- What was your favourite subject?

- Did you have classes on Saturday?

- How much time did it take you to do your homework?

What ideas from Belarusian school can you advise a teacher from Great Britain to use in British school?

I don’t think it’s a good idea. First of all, I’m not a professional person in the sphere of education. Secondly, it would be more reasonable to have some kind of experience of real British education. And only then, if I were asked, I would be able to suggest something.

Today some young people think that having a good education is not very important. Do you agree with them?

It all depends on many things. Those people who think that having a good education is not very important, have their own plans. Some girls want to be good mothers and have big families. Other people think that manual professions do not need good education. In this case they are mistaken. To my mind all professions need special education. Nowadays only highly qualified workers can deal with rather sophisticated equipment and computers.

What can you advise a student who is not very good at languages to do to achieve better results?

People say: “No bees, No honey.” That’s why I advise student who aren’t good at languagesto attend courses in English, read more English books, watch English films, listen to different educational programs, songs, read in English to achieve better results. The Internet can offer you a great variety of activities connected with learning languages.

Today some young people want to study abroad because they believe that the level of education is higher there. Would you do the same?

Yes, it’s true about some people. But they want to go abroad not because the level of education is better there. The level of living conditions is much better in some other countries. Also there are people who are looking for adventures and want to be independent from their parents. Going abroad is the best opportunity to enjoy both.

As for me,I’d like to study abroad because I want to improve my knowledge of foreign languages and have more opportunities in future.
