Dear Friend,

Thanks for your letter. Hope everything’s going well.

Well, in most of the countries children go to school after kindergarten. For example in Ukraine, it
usually happens at the age of six. But some parents, who feel that their children aren’t ready
enough for studying, can send them to school next year.
At the end of the eleventh form, all pupils should pass exams to check their knowledge they were
given at school. It’s a very important event, because the children’s future depends on it. Pupils
take exams on the subjects, which are required by their future specialization.
Generally, there are two options after leaving the school. You can go to a vocational school after
finishing the ninth form or go to a university after the eleventh form. The admission to the
university will depend on the exams results.
To sum up, I consider school to be one of the most important part in our life. It makes us older
and more sensible. It also teaches us many things, which may be useful in our life.
Unfortunately, I must go now. Give my best regards to your family. Hope to hear from you soon.
Take care,
Dan.
