— Really? I'm looking forward to it.

Sports in secondary schools

    All pupils in the UK have. PE at school until they are 16. At school, football is {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(popular) than any other sport, played by girls and boys. Here is {#blank#}2{#/blank#}pupils think about sports.

    My favourite {#blank#}3{#/blank#}at school is PE. I like team sports, {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(especial) basketball. I pay {#blank#}5{#/blank#}the school team on Saturdays. (Blake, 15)

    I like dancing in the gym, {#blank#}6{#/blank#}I hate doing sports outside in winter when the weather is cold and wet. (Megan, 14)

    I think PE is{#blank#}7{#/blank#}(bore) and I'm not good at any sport. I like playing computer games {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(well). (Jared, 17)

    I play football for our school team and I love it. We train after school and play {#blank#}9{#/blank#}teams from other schools every week. (Drew, 16)

    We all disliked our school PE kit. The T-shirt and shorts were so old-fashioned! So our school had a competition to design a new PE kit and my design {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(win) first prize! (Ella, 15)

    Speaker 1: I went straight into work after leaving school at the age of eighteen. I got a job in a big business. But I think it was a mistake as there weren't any chances for me. I think graduates(大学毕业生){#blank#}1{#/blank#}(usual)get more interesting jobs, so I decided to go to university to have a better future. Studying for a degree was one of the best {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (experience) of my life. I loved my subject, and now I'm looking for a new job-better-paid and more interesting than my last one.

    Speaker 2: I {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(leave) school at sixteen and started working in a market. Now I've just opened my first shop. Some of my friends{#blank#}4{#/blank#}went on to university can't find work. They had{#blank#}5{#/blank#}(an) good time at college for a few years, but I really don't know{#blank#}6{#/blank#}they still stayed in college. Working for {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (you) is the best education.

    Speaker 3: I got quite a shock when I got my first job after graduation from university. My boss had been in the same class{#blank#}8{#/blank#}me at school! She went straight into work at eighteen and now she's making more money than me! Actually, she{#blank#}9{#/blank#}(want) to go to university now. And I think that's probably a much{#blank#}10{#/blank#}(good) way to do it. I think you'll get more from university if you spend some time working first.

— Yes, she is.
