   Schools in Great Britain

1. The school system in the UK may seem rather confusing for people from other countries. There are two types of schools in the UK. Most of schools are state schools where education is free. But there are also private schools where you have to pay. Such schools are often very expensive. It may seem strange, but private schools in Britain are called public.
2. A long time ago when education was a privilege of the rich, the only schools where poor people could go get the money from charity organizations. As it was public money, the schools for the poor were called public schools. Some of these public schools were very successful and later they became expensive private schools for rich people. But the conservative British continued to call them public schools.
3. Harrow School was founded in 1572 as a public school for the children of poor families in the country. It is known as the most prestigious private schools in the country. It is known as the place where Winston Churchill and six other Prime Ministers of GB were educated. The poet Lord Byron also attended this school.
4. Harrow is an all-boys school with 800 pupils. It has 19 boarding houses. A boarding house is a building where pupils sleep and rest. Each boy has a separate bedroom or shares a room with another boy. The teachers also have their own rooms to stay in the school all the time and make sure that pupils get a lot of evening and weekend activities.
5. The first thing you need to have is money as studying at some public schools costs up to 20,000 pounds a year. There are some grants for bright pupils from poor families but the p0laces are few and the competition is very strong. It's not surprising that only six percent of the people in the UK can study at public schools.

Sports in Great Britain

It is interesting how many of today's sports games originated in Britain – football, rugby, tennis, boxing, rowing and horse racing among them. Of course, horse racing was popular with the Greeks and Arabs long before the British began to put them into practice; and people had been playing football in one form or another for thousands of years all over the world. But it was the British who created special rules for these sports and sports games.

Football is a good example. In the Middle Ages people in Europe, Japan and Asia all played some forms of the game. A sort of football was also very popular in England, especially as a contest between villages. But at that time there were very few rules. When the students of English schools started to play football, rules then became necessary. They were changed several times and by the middle of the 19th century football had become very much the game that we know and like today. By the way, the first serious football rules were written at Cambridge University.

A similar story can be told about some other sports. Why did this happen in Britain before other countries? There are some possible explanations: after the Norman invasion of 1066, Britain was quite a peaceful country. As a result people had time to develop sports. Later, after Britain's industrial revolution, English factories were based on highly organized work and strict time keeping. The same discipline was applied to sport. So uniforms, referees and punishments were introduced to football and other games. British authorities thought that team games were good training for future military and industrial careers.

Reading in English

One of the ways to learn English is by reading. Regular reading in English not only allows you to expand your vocabulary in the most natural, enjoyable and accessible way, but also allows you to observe the practical application of grammatical structures in finished texts.

If you regularly read works of fiction by English-speaking writers, you will learn “proper” English, which is different from spoken English.

In addition, you become familiar with the culture of the countries of the language you are learning, and have the opportunity to “observe” the natural behavior of book characters in various life situations.

Easy texts in English for beginners can be divided into two types:

• simple literary texts;
• topics - short stories on certain topics.

At first, both children and adults can recommend topics on the simplest topics - about yourself, about your family, about your daily routine, about the weather, about holidays. Children will most likely be interested in stories about toys and animals.
