Lesson 8. My work is school
Ann, Jane and Mike are expressing their opinions about learning at school.
1) Do they have similar or different opinions about learning at school? (Listening for the main idea)
2) Which of these children thinks that learning at school is work?
For some pupils learning at school is hard work. First of all, they always do their homework. Then, they prepare interesting reports and projects and it takes them a lot of time! More than that, they take an active part in after-school activities.
For some other pupils, school is not work at all. They don’t do anything. They even don’t always do their homework. They just have fun.
School is work! It’s hard work like any other work. I’m sure of it! We have to do a lot of different things. We must do our homework every day. We have to go to school five or six days a week. We are often tired after the lessons. We have to work more than eight hours a day! Besides, we have to get up early in the morning and that’s not easy.
Who says that school is work? It’s not work at all! We don’t have to do what our parents have to do in their work. We have to learn and that is all. Our parents produce something or do important things for other people. What do we produce? Nothing. When people work, they get money for their work and we don’t. Some pupils get money for good marks from their parents. But they are few.
So… Which of us is right: Mike or me?

Ann thinks that it takes some children little time to do projects and to make reports.

Speaker Opinion Arguments Mike School is hard work. He says that pupils do homework every day, go to school five or six days a week, are often tired after lessons, have to work more than eight hours a day, and get up early. Jane School is work, but not for everyone. She says that some pupils work hard: they do homework, prepare reports and projects, and take part in after-school activities. Others do nothing and just have fun. Ann School is not work at all. She says that pupils do not produce anything, do not get money for their work, and only learn. Sample answer:
I agree with Jane. I think school is work, because we do homework, learn new things and spend a lot of time at school. But I disagree with Mike and Ann, because school is not the same as adults’ work.
