The Second Term Exam of English
Dear Hamida,
Thank you for the photos of your school. They are really nice. I’ve got the best mark in the class for my project about Algeria.
It’s my turn to give you information about how pre-university education system works in America; American boys and girls spend six years in primary school. After finishing the sixth grade, students go to a junior high school for three years. After completing, each student chooses a programme of study to follow at senior high school or at a vocational training school.
High school students receive a high school diploma at a graduation ceremony at the end of the twelfth year. Some of them continue their studies at a university and others start work.
I’m looking forward to hearing from you soon.
Yours, Becky.
