9、 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 a

10、nd Wales, students study in primary school from age five until eleven. They attend secondary school until age sixteen. Before graduating, students usually take seven comprehensive exams, called the General Certificate of Secondary Education (GCSE) exams. After passing the GCSE exams, students choose

11、 to study two to four subjects intensely for the GCEAdvanced Level exams, called "A levels". At eighteen, they enter higher education to focus on a particular subject, called a "course".Nowlet"s move on to the higher education in Britain. First, I"ll talk about the gene

12、ral practices in England and Wales, and then the general practices in Scotland.In England and Wales, prospective university students apply for places through the Universities Central Council on Admissions (UCCA). Students do not apply directly to the universities themselves. Successful candidates ar

13、e admitted directly into a specific degree "course". A degree course normally takes three or four years to complete. At most universities students study only one major subject. Each course is structured with a fixed program of classes for the entire three years. Increasingly, universities

14、in the United Kingdom are offering classes on a modular basis, which allows students to broaden their studies creating a more interdisciplinary program. This modularization, however, has not replaced the traditional British degree course with the American concept of credit accumulation. In addition,

15、 there is generally a sharp distinction between the arts and sciences and there is seldom any cross-over between the two.At a British university, more emphasis is placed on independent, self-directed study than in the United States. Required texts and definite reading assignments are less common. Mo

16、re typically, an extensive reading list covering all topics to be discussed is distributed at the start of the course to be used for independent research. British students typically consult a large number of sources from the library rather than intensively studying a few books purchased by everyone

17、taking a course. In addition, students are required to write more essays and take fewer objective tests than at US institutions. Classes often take the following forms: lectures, which are sometimes completely optional; tutorials, in which a small number of students meet with the lecturer; and semin

18、ars, larger discussion classes often based upon seminar essays. Unlike the US system of regular testing in a course, British students sit for final examinations that cover the full year"s work and determine the grades for the class. With the growth of modularization, however, there has also bee

19、n an increase in the number and variety of modules offered on a semester basis.In Scotland, there are a variety of tertiary level options available for students, the mostimportant of which are the colleges of further education, the central institutions, teachers colleges and the universities. The co

20、lleges of further education provide vocational and technical education, and enroll more students than all other tertiary institutions combined. Central institutions provide courses leading to the Higher National Diploma (HND), bachelor"s degrees and some specialized master"s degrees. These

21、 institutions do not have the authority to directly validate degrees and tend to offer a narrower range of subjects than the universities. Many have close ties to local businesses, offering cooperative work experiences that provide students a period of practical training.Scottish universities are qu

22、ite distinct from their British counterparts. In fact, they more closely resemble European or American universities. The standard Scottish university degree is a four-year Honors degree (BA Hons). Students are rarely admitted directly to a degree "course". Usually they are admitted to a fa

23、culty or simply admitted to the university as a whole. Scottish university students begin with a broad-based program during the first year and choose a specialization after the second or even the third year. Students may also elect to complete a three-year Ordinary degree. This is a broad-based degr

24、ee that (unlike in England) does not represent a "failed" Honors degree.Next, let"s compare the USand the UKhigher education from two aspects, namely, grading and course levels.First, about the grading. In the UK, assessment methods vary by institution and tend to reflect the UK teach

25、ing method and style. Written examinations, which are held at the end of a year or, in some cases, in the final undergraduate year only are the most commonform of study assessment. There is no official method of equating British and American educational qualifications. The educational systems are ve

26、ry different and attempts to compare them must be done on a strictly provisional basis. Many US institutions have already developed systems of assessing their study abroad students or equating British grades to US grades.Professors at UK institutions grade more strictly than their counterparts in th

27、e United States.As a result, American students studying in the UK often perceive that they have performed poorly in their classes, when they have not. Grades are given as percentages rather than letter grades. Forty percent is the minimum passing grade and high percentages are rarely awarded. A grad

28、e of seventy percent or higher is considered "with distinction". In general, percentages increase from forty rather than decrease from 100 percent, as they do in the United States.Second, about the course levels. A typical British course load will vary from 3 to 6 modules or classes per te

29、rm. Most students take 4 to 5 modules per term. The number of hours in class per week will vary by institution. Students should note that General education or basic courses are not as common at UK universities because they have already been covered at the GCSE level. Many faculties assume that a stu

30、dent has a basic understanding of the concepts that will be addressed in the course. For this reason, it is common for third-year American students to take first-year and second-year courses at a UK university.With this, we"re coming to the end of today"s lecture. Next time, we"ll tal

You know, it"s really a number"s game. Because a lot of times when you"re looking at these differe

51、nt deals, it"s like: save 30%, save 50%. But are you really saving that much money when you"re looking at your purchase?W: That"s what their purpose is for. You"ll see a lot of times in the advertising that they"ll type out the savings, and the interest is in the fine print.

52、 Almost you"ll see what the new price is on something and when they do that. It"s basically a visible trick. Whatever you see, first, you"re more likely to become attached to the deal. And the price in comparison is not going to look such a big deal. I mean if you"re saving $500,

53、 it does not really matter if the TV is still $1,500. The advertising works in such a tricky way that you might think you"re getting that much a better price, because the savings are significant.M: Right. Sometimes the purchase really isn"t that large of a purchase, so you know, 30% is not

54、 that big of a deal. But when you see 30%, you think: wow, I"m getting a really good deal here. It"s funny how the numbers are working there, and they know that.W: They do, and they want us just to splash around this time of a year. So really you should make sure you"re looking for th

55、e items that are between your price range and then start to see if there"re sales that are might abroad, something even better and a little bit cheaper for you.M: Yeah, I got it. And shop now, save later. Is that a trick?W: Well. You see a lot of these, especially with closing stores at this ti

56、me of year and this is a way that consumers tried to think they are going to game a system, because they are going to buy something a little bit today and get today"s sale, and they are going to get coupons tocome back in two weeks and buy a little bit more than even with better prices. So for

57、this one, you know somebody"s sales are right there now, just try to focus on what deals they are currently and they are not trying to play games.M: So I think the key words here are just "stay focused". You know you have a list, you have your budget. Try not to be fond of them if you

58、 don"t have to.W: Exactly. Make that list and check it twice. And just make sure you are not deviating from it, or if you feel imposed to do so and you really look at it, make sure that"s as smart as it looks. M: Well, that"s what we are going to set out to do.W: Yeah.M: Thanks Kelly
