2. Listening. Now we are going to listen to a part from the text about an old system of education in Britain. Your task is: listen to the text attentively and try to understand it.

Text

Before comprehensive schools were introduced in 1965 by the British government all children took an exam at the age of 11 called "eleven-plus”. Those who got the best results at this exam (about 20 per cent) were chosen to go to the best state schools called "grammar schools", which gave secondary education of a rather high standard. Those who failed the 11+ (about 80 per cent) went to secondary modern schools.

Secondary modern schools gave secondary education only in name and did not prepare schoolchildren for universities, as pupils were mainly prepared for practical jobs. A lot of people in Britain thought that this system of selection at the age of 11 was unfair on many children. So, comprehensive schools were introduced. But in a small number of counties they still keep the old system of grammar schools.

Have you understood the text? Now read the sentences from your cards and say if they are true or false and prove your opinion. Mind the social English.

1.        Comprehensive schools were introduced in 1945 – false

2.        At the age of 11 all children took an exam called “eleven-plus” – true

3.        After taking this exam all children go to the best state school called “grammar school” – false

4.        Those who failed the exam go to secondary modem schools – true

5.        Modern schools do not prepare pupils for universities – true

6.        All people in Britain liked this system of selection at the age of 11- false

7.        That is why comprehensive schools were introduced – true
