Secondary schools are usually much larger than primary schools. Over half have between 400 and 800 pupils. The largest schools have 2,000.
Secondary schools may be organized differently. The policy of the Labour Government in 1970's was to move from the old division of grammar and secondary modern schools over to comprehensive ones.About 40 percent of secondary school pupils are now in comprehensive schools of one sort or another.
In recent years an increasing proportion of pupils have been staying on beyond the minimum school-leaving age of fifteen.
State schools are free in Great Britain, and attendance is compulsory.Morning school begins at nine o'clock and lasts for three hours, until twelve o'clock noon. Afternoon school begins at two o'clock and lasts for two and a half hours until half past four. School is open five days a week. On Saturdays and Sundays there are no lessins. There are holidays at Christmas, Easter and in summer.
In a primary school the first lesson of the day is usually Bible study, and the second lesson - arithmetic, both written and mental. The other lessons are: reading, writing, English language, English literature, English history, geography, science, Nature study, drawing, painting, singing, woodwork, and drill, consisting of Swedish exercises or organized games. Instead of woodwork, the girls curriculum includes needlework and cooking.
From private primary schools children may go to the grammar schools, either to one of the public schools or to a municipal school. Public schools like the ancient universities Oxford and Cambridge are almost entirely independent. Most of them have two sides: a classical side, specializing in ancient languages, history and philosophy; and a modern side, specializing in modern languages, natural science, and geography. The boys sleep in the school during the term, in houses, each house is governed by a house master. Their time is fully taken up by lessons and games. Every public school has playing-fields attached to it.
The fees at these public schools are high, much higher than those at the fee-paying grammar day schools. Moreover, at every state grammar school the places are free for boys and girls from the primary schools. The grammar schools are for boys or for girls, or for both. They are day schools, and the for boys or for girls, or for both. They are day schools, and the hours of instruction are similar to those at primary schools have six classes called forms. The first form is the lowest class, and the sixth is the highest.
When boys and girls reach the age of sixteen they may take the General Certificate of Education. There are, indeed, three standards of levels. In order to enter a university, a boy or a girl must pass examinations in five subjects of which English and another language must be two and which must include either mathematics or a science. He or she must pass at least two of these five subjects at the advanced level.

The warden led us in single file along a narrow line of paving-slabs that ran past the huts. Every so often, four steps led to a front door. We could hear people inside, shouting at children.
'The overcrowding has to be seen to be believed,' he said as he shook his head forlornly. We squeezed to one side as a sullen woman passed us, carrying a bucket of coal. She had the look of someone who was old before her time.
The warden went up the last set of steps, opened the door with a jangling bunch of keys, took one off the ring and handed it to me.
'There you are. Home Sweet Home. There's a bath in that hut by the trees; get the key from me when you want one, ' he said, and he came clown the steps, leaving us room to go up. 'I hope you can make a go of it, ' he said. 'At least we've got you a bit of furniture.'
We walked into a square 'cell' with a table and two chairs and a two-seater settee. No two of anything were the same; it all looked like furniture from a charity shop, which I suppose it was. There was a double hotplate on top of a low cupboard, and a dead black stove against the back wall with a scuttle beside it containing a few lumps of fuel. The adjoining 'cell' had a double bed with a pink plastic mattress cover, glistening like wet salmon. There was a cupboard that hung open because the door catch had gone. Inside the cupboard were two meagre blankets.
The bedroom was freezing. I struggled to shut the top flap of the window, but it was jammed open by rust. There were bits of yellowing sellotape all round the wall near it, where previous inmates had tried to block the draught with cardboard.
I sat on the bed with my head in my hands, wondering how long we would have to spend here before we found a real home, and noticing, as I glanced sideways into the front room, that a thin film of dust was blowing under the front door.
We took the plastic cover off the mattress because it looked worse than the stains underneath. The blankets smelled, but we had to keep warm somehow.
We had been in this place exactly a week when, on returning in the evening, we went up to our front door and heard children's voices and a transistor radio. We peered round the door at a jumble of people and things and colours. The people turned round and we all looked at each other. The muddle resolved itself into a huge woman and a little man, and two small children. They had a lot of stuff, mostly carrier bags and laundry bags with clothes spilling out, and a couple of buckets full of kitchen equipment which we'd have been glad to have ourselves.
They didn't want to share with us any more than we did with them, but that's what the warden had told them to do. We argued about it, though it seemed ridiculous to quarrel over accommodation which none of us really wanted anyway.

it is not a true story. It was imagined and written years ago by an englishman named Daniel Defoe. He was the first man to tell story in such a way as to make people believe it to be true. Although the adventure of Robinson Crusoe are imaginary, they might have happened in real life.

At the beginning of his story, Robinson Crusoe tells us that his father wanted him to become a lawyer, but that he himself wanted to become a sailor. His father, a wise and rather stern man, gave him serious advice, telling him that adventures abroad were best fitted either for rough and uneducated men or for men of superior fortune.
