Part 1
1) At what age do children begin school in your country?
Formal education
starts at five years of age but most children go to 
preschool
when 
they are around three. This isn’t 
compulsory
but really helps them to develop 
socially. 
2) What kind of school did you go to as a child?
My family moved around a lot when I was growing up so I went to many different 
schools 
including 
three
 primary 
schools, 
a
 grammar 
school 
and 
a
 co-
educational comprehensive school. 
I even attended a private school
 
for a year. 
 
3) Did you enjoy your time at school?
I can’t say that I particularly enjoyed my early 
education
. With changing schools so 
often, I was always the new kid which I found hard. 
4) Would you say you were a good student?
Yes, I was definitely a good 
pupil
. I was a quiet, shy child who never caused 
my 
teachers
any trouble or 
played truant
. I worked hard on my 
coursework 
and got 
on well with my 
peers
. 
5) Did you do any extra-curricular activities?
Back in my day, there weren’t many opportunities to do 
extra-curricular activities
. 
However, I was in the school choir at my 
secondary school
. We use to put on 
concerts and one year we did a tour of Germany.
