Today I'll talk about the British educational system, including the primary and secondary education and the higher education in Britain. Meanwhile, I'll try to make a comparison between the US and the UK higher education. First, I'll briefly introduce the primary and secondary education in Britain. In England and Wales, students study in primary schools from age five until eleven. They attend secondary school until age 16. Before graduating, students usually take seven comprehensive exams, called the General Certificate of Secondary Education (GCSE) exams. After passing the GCSE exams, students choose to study two to four subjects intensely for the GCE Advanced Level exams, called "A levels." At 18, they enter higher education to focus on a particular subject, called a "course." Now let's move on to the higher education in Britain. First I'll talk about the general practices in England and Wales,and then the general practices in Scotland.
今天我們來(lái)談?wù)動(dòng)?guó)教育制度，包括小學(xué)和初中還有英國(guó)的高等教育。 同時(shí)，我還要做一個(gè)美國(guó)和英語(yǔ)高等教育的對(duì)比。 首先，我要簡(jiǎn)單介紹一下英語(yǔ)的小學(xué)和初中教育。在英國(guó)和威爾士，學(xué)生從5歲到11歲在小學(xué)學(xué)習(xí)。知道16歲才會(huì)上初中。在畢業(yè)之前學(xué)生一般會(huì)參加7個(gè)綜合性考試，叫做GCSE，叫做初等教育資格證。在通過(guò)GCSE考試之后，學(xué)生要選擇2到4個(gè)學(xué)科為GCE高級(jí)水平考試做集中深入學(xué)習(xí)。叫做”A Level“。在18歲，他們將講集中專注一個(gè)學(xué)科，成為課程。 現(xiàn)在我們來(lái)看英國(guó)的高等教育制度，首先我們來(lái)看看在英國(guó)和威爾士的一些一般常識(shí)，然后再來(lái)看蘇格蘭的。
