You are probably worried about school and the choice of higher education, but so are your parents. In this section, you will work with a dialogue from their perspective.
Prawdopodobnie martwisz się o szkołę i wybór studiów, ale twoi rodzice również. W tej części będziesz pracować z dialogiem przedstawiającym ich perspektywę.

School is the most important experience twice in your life. Once when you’re a student and once when you’re a parent of a student
Szkoła dwa razy w życiu staje się najważniejszym doświadczeniem. Po raz pierwszy wtedy, kiedy jesteś uczniem, a po raz drugi, kiedy jesteś rodzicem ucznia

Exercise 3
John: Hello, Mary! I'm fine, thanks. Where are you going?
Mary: I'm on my way to my son’s 1. university, 2. sixth, 3. options, 4. primary school, 5. nursery, 6. college, 7. A-levels, 8. open days, 9. stressed out, 10. secondary school, 11. extra, 12. an institute of technology, 13. entry. I have a parents' meeting today.
John: Oh, I see. I thought your son was in a 1. university, 2. sixth, 3. options, 4. primary school, 5. nursery, 6. college, 7. A-levels, 8. open days, 9. stressed out, 10. secondary school, 11. extra, 12. an institute of technology, 13. entry. Children grow so fast!
Mary: I agree! A few more years and he will go to 1. university, 2. sixth, 3. options, 4. primary school, 5. nursery, 6. college, 7. A-levels, 8. open days, 9. stressed out, 10. secondary school, 11. extra, 12. an institute of technology, 13. entry. By the way, how is your daughter?
John: She is in secondary school now. She is 1. university, 2. sixth, 3. options, 4. primary school, 5. nursery, 6. college, 7. A-levels, 8. open days, 9. stressed out, 10. secondary school, 11. extra, 12. an institute of technology, 13. entry because she can’t decide which school to go to. She is still choosing between a 1. university, 2. sixth, 3. options, 4. primary school, 5. nursery, 6. college, 7. A-levels, 8. open days, 9. stressed out, 10. secondary school, 11. extra, 12. an institute of technology, 13. entry and a public 1. university, 2. sixth, 3. options, 4. primary school, 5. nursery, 6. college, 7. A-levels, 8. open days, 9. stressed out, 10. secondary school, 11. extra, 12. an institute of technology, 13. entry. All she knows is that she doesn’t want to go to 1. university, 2. sixth, 3. options, 4. primary school, 5. nursery, 6. college, 7. A-levels, 8. open days, 9. stressed out, 10. secondary school, 11. extra, 12. an institute of technology, 13. entry. And she must decide which 1. university, 2. sixth, 3. options, 4. primary school, 5. nursery, 6. college, 7. A-levels, 8. open days, 9. stressed out, 10. secondary school, 11. extra, 12. an institute of technology, 13. entry to take.
Mary: Staying on at her school to take them?
John: No, they don’t have a 1. university, 2. sixth, 3. options, 4. primary school, 5. nursery, 6. college, 7. A-levels, 8. open days, 9. stressed out, 10. secondary school, 11. extra, 12. an institute of technology, 13. entry form. I need to find a college for her.
Mary: I remember that she wanted to be a doctor. This would mean biology plus mathematics, perhaps chemistry? A lot of work!
John: And physics perhaps, too. Yes. I think she should choose those subjects which will keep her 1. university, 2. sixth, 3. options, 4. primary school, 5. nursery, 6. college, 7. A-levels, 8. open days, 9. stressed out, 10. secondary school, 11. extra, 12. an institute of technology, 13. entry open in case she changes her mind. Anyway, I believe she needs to take an 1. university, 2. sixth, 3. options, 4. primary school, 5. nursery, 6. college, 7. A-levels, 8. open days, 9. stressed out, 10. secondary school, 11. extra, 12. an institute of technology, 13. entry year and study to take at least three of those. Or other she really enjoys, that is.
Mary: I’ve heard children believe A-levels are going to be very similar to the GCSE but they are, in fact, very different.
John: Could be hard. I have already told her to check the 1. university, 2. sixth, 3. options, 4. primary school, 5. nursery, 6. college, 7. A-levels, 8. open days, 9. stressed out, 10. secondary school, 11. extra, 12. an institute of technology, 13. entry requirements of her dream university courses.
Mary: Listen, colleges and universities often organise 1. university, 2. sixth, 3. options, 4. primary school, 5. nursery, 6. college, 7. A-levels, 8. open days, 9. stressed out, 10. secondary school, 11. extra, 12. an institute of technology, 13. entry. Perhaps she could go there on one of those days and get more information.
John: That's a wonderful idea! I will talk to my daughter about that. Thank you!
Mary: You’re welcome!
John: Now, when does your meeting start?
Mary: In 15 minutes. I should go now. See you soon!
John: See you! Enjoy your meeting!
