Alex, a Russian student, is talking with James Mitchell, an American from Las Vegas, Nevada. This time their conversation is about the education in the USA.
| - Мистер Митчел, какая система образования в Вашей стране? | - You see. The US has no nаional education system. Instead, each state is responsible for organizing and regulating its own system of education. There are common elements in the separate state systems, however. |
| - И какие же это общие черты (элементы)? | - Well, formal education is divided into the following stages: elementary, secondary and higher education. School attendance is compulsory in every state. |
| - Есть ли частные школы в США? | - The state provides schooling at all stages of education, but parents can send their children to private schools. |
| - Мистер Митчел, у Вас есть дети? Какую школу они посещают? | - Oh, Alex. I have a daughter, anice girl, Chelsea by name. She attends a private school. |
| - Мистер Митчел, а какая разница между "high schools" и "higher schools"? | - A great one. High schools, junior and senior, provide secondary education. Most of them offer both general and vocational courses of study. And higher schools provide higher learning. |
| - Мистер Митчел, извините, что перебиваю Вас... А в каких образовательных заведениях можно получить высшее образование? | - Places of higher learning include community and junior colleges, technical institutes, universities, and separate professional schools. |
| - Спасибо огромное. Очень хочется побывать у вас в стране. | - You are welcome. |
