Getting into The Brit School?
It really depends why you want to go there - it teaches all sorts of technology and stuff as well as acting and performance, and if your teacher got in, it might have been because she specialised in other subjects. It seems quite good, but it's just a school. I'm assuming that you want to be an actor, or you wouldn't have posted in this section. Even if you got a place, once you'd completed the course at 19 you'd still have to try to get into a major drama school afterwards like most actors do. It doesn't get you a degree or equivalent in acting, and without some qualification at that level, getting an agent or any acting work is virtually impossible in the UK.
American high school for a British exchange student?
Hello guys :) I'm a 16 year old girl from London, England and i'm thinking about fully applying to do an academic semester (5 months) or year (10 months) in the North America, from next year August. I'm extremely indecisive at the moment. Contrary to what you may think, doing an exchange year is a huge deal - completely moving countries, from one culture to another, being away from your family and friends and living with strangers, all while trying to maintain above average grades in a brand new school, and keeping your grades stable back in your home country. But on the other hand, it is a life changing experience, very exciting and has many benefits when it comes to schooling and opportunities. So as you can tell, i am trying to weigh up the pros and con's of doing an exchange year, and a huge part of an exchange year is SCHOOL. (Insert dramatic music) Lmao I'm asking this question on the US answers website, because obviously you guys are American and know what it's like to go to an american high school (or at least i would assume that you know) So here are my questions. 1. Will i most likely be bullied (as stupid a question it may be, anyone would be worried about this when going to a new school) 2. Are american schools generally divided? (groups/categories of people) 3. How close, or far is the reality of high school compared to movies e.g mean girls. 4. Will i easily make friends? 5. What sort of things can i get involved with? e.g clubs 6. I'll be a senior, so what major 'senior' moments will i experience? 7. Will i be made fun off, because of my accent? 8. Typical dressing for a school day? 9. Differences between English and American schooling? 10. And ANYTHING else i should know. Many thanks in advance!
What are the main differences between British and American high schools?
Here in Britain we all wear uniformAmericans wear uniform at private school.We generally refer to it as secondary school compared to American high schoolSenior school Ages:11 to 12 yearsUK: Year 7 - Secondary School Key Stage 3USA: 6th Grade - Middle School12 to 13 yearsUK: Year 8 Key Stage 3USA 7th Grade13 to 14 yearsUK: Year 9 Key Stage 3USA: 8th Grade14 to 15 yearsUK: Year 10 Key Stage 4USA: 9th Grade (Freshman) - High School15 to 16 yearsUK: Year 11 Key Stage 4USA: 10th Grade (Sophomore)16 to 17 yearsUK: Year 12 (6th Form)USA: 11th Grade (Junior)17 to 18 yearsUK: Year 13 (6th Form)USA: 12th Grade (Senior)In the UK if we need to travel to school by bus we use public transport, we don't have designated school buses.In the USA most of you drive to senior/high school. In the UK we can't drive until we're 17 so that generally rules that out.Exams:Instruction for British secondary students focuses on the GCSE subject exams and the A Levels. In America, the SAT and ACT are the only real standardized tests that students take at a national level.Food.I think you eat more junk than us (cringe) please don't hate me.Last but definitely not least, sports scholarship, what the actual f*ck are you guys thinking?. Seriously you can do real bad with your education yet you can ride off the back of your sporting abilities and sail off to uni.. How is that remotely fair?
How long would it take to learn Russian? How many hours per week should I study for?
My guess is one to four years to gain a viable facility in Russian. How long depends on several things: motivation, your learning aptitude, your native language, and your learning resources.For a native English language speaker, Russian is the most dissimilar of the European languages (excluding Basque, Hungarian, and Finnish). Learning the writing system is not the most difficult thing, though. Learning the correct way to phrase things and learning new vocabulary are the two most difficult tasks.Russian pronunciation can be a challenge to native speakers of English. In language classes I have seen fellow students struggle with this line from a lesson dialog: “Who were you with at the theater yesterday?” In Russian: “С кем вы были в театре вчера?.” Pronounced: “S kiem vy byli f tiatre fchira?” All those consonants and so few vowels!Another thing to consider is what I call “accommodation.” That it is, learning something new requires not only repetition, but a minimal lapse of time to accommodate to the new learning, the time it takes to get used to something new.Learning a language can be accelerated by using a variety of sources: on-line instruction; conversation with a native speaker; books; magazines; Wikipedia; pen pals; movies; music, and much more. If you want to gain competence in Russian quickly, I would guess you will need to spend at least one hour of concentrated work every day for at least a year. On the other hand, for a brief tour of Russia, if you want to use one of those tiny phrase books, you could get by with minimal effort and time. But you will likely need tutoring with the pronunciation.
