− I’m fine, thanks. Tell me please about schooling in England. How many lessons do you have every day? What time do the lessons start and finish? What age do children go to school?

− I have 5 lessons every day. They start at 8:30 and finish at 4 o’clock. We have a break after the first and the third lessons. Children in England go to primary school at the age of five, and go to secondary school at the age of eleven−twelve. And what about your school?

In my school we have different subjects, like biology, English, German, maths, Russian etc. Children in Russia begin going to primary school at the age of six, and go to secondary school at the age of ten.
