The American system of school education differs from the system in some countries. There are state-supported public schools, private elementary schools, and private secondary schools. Public schools are free and private schools are fee-paying. Each individual state has its own sys-tem of public schools. Elementary education begins at the age of six with the first grade and continues up to the eighth grade. The elementary school is followed by four years of the secondary school or high as it is called. In some states the last two years of the elementary and the first years of the secondary school are combined into a junior high school. Besides giving general education, some high schools teach subjects useful to those who hope to find jobs in industry and agriculture. Some give preparatory education to those planning to enter colleges and universities.

Американская система школьного образования отличается от системы в некоторых странах. Есть финансируемые государством общественные школы, частные начальные школы, и частные средние школы. Общественные школы свободны, и частные школы - пожертвования. Каждое индивидуальное государство имеет его собственную систему общественных школ. Элементарное образование начинается в возрасте шести лет с первого сорта и продолжается до восьмого сорта. Начальная школа сопровождается на четыре года средней школы или высоко поскольку это называют. В некоторых государствах два года элементарного и первых лет средней школы объединены в неполную среднюю школу. Помимо предоставления общего образования, некоторые средние школы преподают предметы, полезные для тех, кто надеется найти рабочие места в промышленности и сельском хозяйстве. Некоторые дают предварительное образование тем, которые планируют войти в колледжи и университеты.
My Working day.I want to say that all weekdays except weekends look very much the same.On weekdays the alarm clock wakes me up at about 7 o'clock and my working day begins. I'm not an early riser that's why it's very difficult for me to get out of bed, especially in winter. First I do my morning exercises. Then I go to the bathroom, take a warm shower and clean my teeth. After that I go to my bedroom to get dressed.At a quarter past seven I am ready to have my breakfast. As a rule, I have a light breakfast which consists of a cup of coffee or tea, a boiled egg, and a cheese or a sausage sandwich. After breakfast I take my bag and leave for school.As my school is not far from my house, it takes me 10 minutes to get there. I usually walk there.Six or seven lessons a day is the ordinary timetable. The classes at school are over at about three o'clock.Twice a week I stay at school later to play tennis or I am busy with the English language club.When I come home I have dinner, after dinner I have a rest. While resting, I listen to music or look through newspapers and magazines. Then I start doing my homework. It takes me about five hours to cope with my homework properly.Sometimes I help my mother about the house and do our shopping, go to the library and have private lessons of English in order to improve it.After supper I usually relax for some time and then go on with my homework.As a rule, I go to bed at about 11 o'clock or even later.
