What makes a good prep school According to the author’s opinion, in choosing a school, parents have to make some fundamental choices: boarding or a day, single-sex or coeducational, and belonging to a particular religious denomination. Tytler’s first tip is visiting a day school with arranging interviews with the head, he expresses his conviction that where there is a good head there is a good school. Moreover, he considers a school visit reveals much about the school in the way the children behave and strongly recommends asking some important questions whether to know this school is successful and can give a good level of knowledge for secondary education. But the author remarks that if the school chosen is as a boarding school, it’s better to visit the studies and dormitories, preferably in term time. After that David Tytler concludes that the education is not only one of the most expensive things which people can buy but also one of the most important. In conclusion, I would like to say that I completely agree with the author. I think, in this article there are some sensible and useful tips in order to find and choose a good prep school for children, in that nowadays an education is a key to success.

It's better to regret something you have done than to regret something you haven't. I finished talking to my former classmate by phone and stretched. Ten years passed after leaving the school. That’s absolutely unbelievable. I do remember all my life, friends and teachers when I was a schoolboy. I went through all my classmates in my mind. Lucy… She was one of the prettiest girls in our class… Marshall… He always opened his mouth when he was surprised and I teased him for it. Simon… We were best friends at school. But then we entered different colleges and unfortunately, our friendship broke out. Lindsey… She was my first love. I loved her so much. It was more romantic and emotionally uplifting than any other experience I had ever been through. But I didn’t dare to tell her about my feelings. The next day I woke up early, had a breakfast and left home. I was strolling along the street, when, to my surprise, I noticed the woman. It was Lindsey. She was with a man and two children, one of them was about 7 and the other one was 3. I couldn’t believe my eyes! It was really her! I didn’t know what to do. I wasn’t sure that I had to greet her. We haven’t seen each other for more than 8 years. I didn’t know what to say to her and she was with her family…But then she noticed me and cried out in surprise. «Fred! Freddy! It’s me! Lindsey! Do you remember?» she said. What a silly woman! How could I forget her? How could I forget the girl I had all my dreams about? But then I said something awful – «Lindsey? What Lindsey? Give me a minute.» «Oh, Freddy! We were classmates! Don’t you really remember me?” she said sadly. Of course, I did! But I pretended that I couldn’t remember her and then I said - «Ohh, Lindsey! It’s you! I didn’t recognize you! You look wonderful! She brightened up. «Freddy, we haven’t seen each other for ages! But you didn’t change! I’m so glad to see you! Let me introduce you my husband Ted and my children James and Kevin. Nice to meet you all! – I said. We talked to each other for 10 minutes more. Lindsey was interested in our classmates, my job, my family and all other things. I didn’t ask her anything. She looked happy. I was really glad for her. I got to work and worked hard all the day trying not to think about her. In the evening I came back home. I was tired and was going to bed early.

The wedding. Could you read and tell me your opinion or correct my mistakes? Thanks in advance! :) I woke up one sunny Saturday morning and looked up at the wall. «I’m twenty six, I live in New York, one of the biggest cities in the world, I’m a talented and gifted architect and my best friend will marry his girlfriend tomorrow»! - I thought. When you are single and your friends start to get married, every wedding invitation presents a strange moment of self-evaluation. I was an optimist, but I still didn’t have a girlfriend! I didn’t even have a date for the wedding! That was an ordinary Saturday. I had to do a lot of home duties, because I lived alone, cook meal and walk my dog. His name was Robby and I loved him very much. He always greeted me every time when I came home and didn’t fight with me what show we should watch on TV. After a while we went for a walk and I couldn’t stop thinking about a date for my best friend’s wedding, because I couldn’t have come there absolutely alone or even with Robby. I started to remember all my friends and suddenly decided to ask Scotty, she was one of the women I liked most of all, to come with me to the wedding as my "date". I decided to call her and find out whether she’ll agree on that or not. But, actually, I was the luckiest man of all the human beings on this planet or even on others, because she said «yes». I felt myself inspired and absolutely happy, the tomorrow’s day is going to be the greatest day ever! Next day I walked up to Scotty’s front door in tuxedo, knocked on door and when she opened it, I couldn’t believe my eyes how brilliant and fantastic she was! She had long straight blonde hair, her eyes were blue as the deepest sea, and it seemed to me, that her small pink lips coming from the lips of an angel. She was so charming and pretty in her new red short dress that I couldn’t stop looking at her because of her beauty. When we arrived to the wedding ceremony, almost all the guests were there. When I got the invitation out of my pocket and looked at it, I stood paralyzed with fear. I didn’t check «plus one» on the reply card and it forbade me to bring someone along to the wedding! I felt I was ready to fall through the ground. I couldn’t even look at Scotty, I have never felt myself so much ashamed. But the time of the beginning of the ceremony was coming and I had to take something.

Is it right? He will wish she always told him the truth. He will wish she had told him the truth. He will wish she would tell him the truth soon. Thank you in advanced. =)

The teacher who impressed me When I was a student of the eleventh class I had a lot of teachers, I liked them for their knowledge and desire to help us to find a right way in our lives, but I can never forget one particular teacher. I really admired her. She was my teacher of History, she was sixty two. She was a very strict and demanding person. She very liked her subject and made us to love it too. Her lessons were very interesting, breath-taking and full of surprises for us. We never missed her classes, because we really respected her. We were ever ready to do whatever she asked us. No one dared tell a lie for her. Many students of her passed History exam thanks to her. Also, it was really impossible to get a reward or a good mark from her. But the best thing was that she knew how to criticize our work and ask questions to make us think. The teacher who made you realize that you can achieve whatever you want to, if you're willing to work for it... Of course, her catchphrases were legends of our school. We knew all her catchphrases and we were proud of it. But at the same time she was a friend and a guide to us. We knew that the teacher would give our class the best piece of advice possible. She always told us: « It is hard in training , but easy in fight .» Every time when I met her , I really glad that I had such a wonderful teacher. She is absolutely adorable. i will never forget her.

Schools kill creativity by Ken Robinson. Correct my essay, please! The main issue in the modern world. Every child goes to school every day. There he learns a lot of subjects and do many exercises. But what about his hobbies? For example, he wants to be a famous artist, singer, actor and so on. Why didn’t he enough time to do what he wants? Our current educational system is a product of twenty-century industrialism. It is a model with a limited focus on specific subjects. School, by nature, is not a creative environment. Therefore, the system rewards good information seekers and punishes creative outside-the-box students. They breed students to past test rather than teaching them how to critically think on the subject and form a new, innovative idea from it. Instead of allowing our students to become innovative thinkers, our school system mercilessly sucks creativity from them. I think, it is not fairly. “Many highly talented, brilliant, creative people think they’re not — because the thing they were good at at school wasn’t valued, or was actually stigmatized.” – by Ken Robinson. I absolutely agree with it. The only classes that ever allowed for any creativity were art and music (and sometimes woodshop). But so much time spent teaching history classes and English grammar. I think, it wasn’t useful for students. They needed to have more practice on each subject. “There isn’t an education system on the planet that teaches dance every day to children the way we teach them mathematics. Why?”- by Ken Robinson. In my opinion, school kills creativity. But an educated person always find a way to do the best. He got a higher education and find a good job. Clever people always try to discover something new for them, to learn a new language , to got a very experience for their life. So, “Curiosity is the engine of achievement.” – by Ken Robinson, and I think so.
