Read the two long sentences from an essay comparing the
education systems of Japan and England. Divide each sentence into two
shorter ones.
By law, Japanese children have to attend school from the age of 6 to 15, on the other hand, English
children start compulsory school at the age of 5 and continue until they are 16.
The Japanese and English education systems are similar in that it is necessary to take an
exam to enter university however, Japan is different from England because each university
sets its own entrance exam, whereas all English universities accept students with good
A level results.
