What is a "certificate of maturity"? 22. This is a document which certifies that such-and-such a pupil graduated from such-and-such a school with such-and-such marks. And then the certificate lists all the subjects studied at school and their respective marks. The highest mark is "five" (excellent). This is followed by "four" (good). And, at last, there is "three", which means "fair" or "satisfactory". 23. Are there any other marks? 24. Yes, there are in principle. However, they are not desirable at all. If, say, a pupil failed an examination, he/she receives a "two", which means "bad" or "unsatisfactory". Such a mark will not be included in the school-leaving certificate, 107 however the pupil will have to sit this exam once more at the very beginning of the next school year. 25. And what if he fails again? 26. In that case, as they say, he will be left back, i.e. he will need to repeat the year. 27. What subjects are included in the certificate? 28. Russian language, literature, arithmetic, algebra, geometry, trigonometry, physics, chemistry, history, geography, anatomy, a foreign language, and some others. 29. Which of these subjects are compulsory? 30. All the subjects are compulsory. And I reckon this is how it should be. Our schools prepare broad-minded people with a good general knowledge of both the exact sciences and humanities. A pupil can, for example, have a flair for literature and languages. Nevertheless, he cannot avoid mathematics or physics. And vice versa. 31. But what's the point of, say, a future poet tormenting himself with mathematical of physics formulas? 32. I think that even a famous poet, if he lives in the real, and not a dream world, must be able to count and have at least a general idea of the basic laws of 108 physics. And a great physicist will make his spiritual life considerably richer if he does not limit himself by the reading of scientific books only. 33. As I see it, a pupil in a Russian school has to learn at the same time a significantly larger number of subjects than what is required in English schools. But how deep and systematic is the knowledge of Russian pupils? 34. Their knowledge is deep because each subject is studied quite thoroughly and usually over many years. Their knowledge is also systematic because pupils logically study all the lessons of a textbook - from the beginning to the end. In addition, the depth and systematic approach are achieved through a system of constant and strict control. Download 3.08 Mb. Do'stlaringiz bilan baham: |
