I'd like to talk about the school system in Australia today. The school system in Australia does depend on {#blank#}1{#/blank#} you go to a private school or a public school. In the state I'm from, there are a lot of private schools, and generally they are single-sex high schools. The public high schools are generally {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (mix). All of the private high schools insist that you should wear their school uniforms, {#blank#}3{#/blank#} that might mean{#blank#}4{#/blank#} (wear) a school tie and a school jacket. However, the public high schools often give you a {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (choose) of whether you want to wear a uniform or not. The school classes generally start anywhere{#blank#}6{#/blank#} 8:30 and 9 o'clock in the morning and run {#blank#}7{#/blank#} 3:30 in the afternoon, and they're followed by after-school {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (active) like sports and music theater. The school year generally starts in the{#blank#}9{#/blank#} (begin) on February, after our summer vacation, which lasts about six weeks around the Christmas period.

    The only thing I don't like about our school system is the idea of the difference in quality of education between the private and the public schools. It remains{#blank#}10{#/blank#} (see) whether you can get a better education, even if you are in a private high school. Most of our public high schools are quite good.

    Cyclist Agustin Navarro was coming fourth in a race in Spain. But as he approached the finish line, he saw that his competitor Ismael Esteban had suffered a flat line and was running toward the finish line{#blank#}1{#/blank#} his bike over his shoulders. Agustin Navarro slowed down and refused{#blank#}2{#/blank#} (pass) him. Instead, he rode behind Ismael Esteban{#blank#}3{#/blank#} (allow) him to win the bronze medal.

    The people standing along the way applauded for Agustin Navarro's{#blank#}4{#/blank#} (behave) and cheered the two men as they made it toward the finish line —{#blank#}5{#/blank#} on foot; the other, on his bike. Mr. Esteban later tried to give{#blank#}6{#/blank#} prize to Agustin Navarro,{#blank#}7{#/blank#} he refused it.

    Agustin Navarro{#blank#}8{#/blank#} (praise) online for his unusual act since then. In a television interview, he told people that he didn't want to win like that, so he braked out of respect for somebody who had been{#blank#}9{#/blank#} (good) than himself. That's{#blank#}10{#/blank#} the spirit in a sport lies: respect competitors, teammates, coaches and even themselves.
