Guide to answer

• A. I’m not sure, but I think there are certain similarities and differences between the school system in Vietnam and that in England.
• B. I think so, too. But what differences do you know?
• C. As I know, first both systems have the same three levels of education, and the starting age of schooling.
• D. But in England, as I know, there isn’t such a strict and unreasonable rule of starling age of schooling.
• A. What do you mean?
• D. OK. As I'm told, in England a pupil can attend a class if he or she has enough capacity as required.
• B. About the differences I see there are a lot.
• C. For example?
• B. The academic year. In Vietnam, there are only two periods of schooling in a year, each of which lasts about five months or so.
• A. I see. In England an academic year is divided into three by season.
• D. And one more difference: in England students needn’t take any exam to enter the upper secondary schools.

• B. Oh, really?
