The Renaissance (Unit 6)The Renaissance is the period of time in Europe between 14th and 17th centuries, when art, literature, philosophy, and scientific ideas became very important and a lot of new art etc. was produced.62. Romanticism (Unit 6)Roughly the first third of the 19th century makes up English literature’s romantic period. Writers of romantic literature are more concerned with imagination and feeling than with the power of reason. A volume of poems called Lyrical Ballads written by William Wordsworth and Samuel Taylor Coleridge is regarded as the romantic poetry’s “Declaration of Independence”. Keats, Byron and Shelley, the three great poets, brought the Romantic Movement to its height. The spirit of Romanticism also occurred in the novel.63. Modernism (Unit 6)Modernism refers to a form of literature mainly written before World War II. It is characterised by a high degree of experimentation. It can be seen s a reaction against the 19th century forms of Realism. Modernist writers express the difficulty they see in understanding and communicating how the world works. Often, Modernism writing seems disorganized, hard to understand. It often portrays the action from the viewpoint of a single confused individual, rather than from the viewpoint of an all-knowing impersonal narrator outside the action. One of the most famous English Modernist writers is Virginia Woolf.Unit 7 British Education System64. Independent schools (Unit 7)Independent schools are commonly called public schools which are actually private schools receive their funding through the private sector and tuition rates, with some government assistance. Independent schools are not part of national education system, but quality of instruction and standards are maintained through visits from Her Majesty’s Inspectors of Schools. These schools are restricted to the students whose parents arecomparatively rich.65. The Open University (Unit 7)The Open University was founded in Br itain in the 1960’s for people who might not get the opportunity for higher education for economic and social reasons. It’s open to everybody and does not demand the same educational qualifications as the other universities. University courses are followed through TV, radio, videos and a net work of study centres. At the end of their studies at the Open University, successful students are awarded a university degree.Unit 8 British Foreign Relations66. The foundation of British foreign policy (Unit 8)The contemporary foreign policy of the UK is greatly influenced by its imperial history and also by its geographical traits. As Britain lost its empire recently, British policy-makers frequently forget that Britain is not as influential as it used to be in world affairs. Another decisive influence upon the way Britain handles its external affairs is geopolitical attitude to Europe.67. Britain and the EU (Unit 8)Britain joined the European Community in 1973 which is now called the EU. Britain’s pa rticipation in the EU remains controversial. At the centre of the controversy is the fact that it is not clear about what the EU is and what it will become. The UK has always been interested in encouraging free trade between countries and is therefore very supportive of the EU as a free trade area. Britain likes to regard the EU as a place where economic cooperation is possible and where a flow of trained personnel and goods are possible. But Britain has always been less enthusiastic about giving up its national sovereignty to the EU.68. Britain and the United States (Unit 8)The British foreign policy is also affected by its relationship with the United States. During World War II, the two countries were closely allied and continued to work together closely in the postwar years, because they had many things in common about the past and the world situation. Even today, Britain and American policy-makers share the general ideas in many respects. The British are beginning to realize that their own foreig n policy action can be limited by the U.S., but both sides worked hard to maintain the “special relationship”.69. The Commonwealth (Unit 8)The Commonwealth is a voluntary association of states which is made up mostly of former British colonies. There are about 50 members of the Commonwealth: many of these are developing countries like India and Cyprus; others are developed countries like Australia, Canada and New Zealand. The Commonwealth was set up a forum for continued cooperation and as a sort of support network.Unit 9 The British Media70. Quality papers (Unit 9)The quality papers belong to one of the categories of the national dailies. They carry more serious and in-depth articles of particular political and social importance. They also carry reviews, such as book reviews, and feature articles about high culture. These papers are also referred to as “the broadsheets” because they are printed on large size paper. The readers of such newspapers are generally a well-educated middle class audience.71. Tabloids (Unit 9)A tabloid is a small format newspaper with colour photos and catchy headlines. Tabloids are interested in scandals and gossip usually about famous people. They also carry lots of crime, sports and sensational human interest stories so as to attract readers. Stories are short, easy to read and often rely more on opinions than fact. They belong to a catalogue of national papers different from quality papers.Unit 10 Sports, Holidays and Festival in Britain72. Cricket and “fair play” (Unit 10)Cricket was one of the very first team sports in Britain to have organised rules and to be played according to the same rules nationally. The reason that fixed rules were applied to cricket so early on was a financial one: aristocrats loved betting on cricket matches and if people were going to risk money on a game, they wanted to ensure that the game would be played fairly. In Britain people from all walks of life play cricket, but in the 19th century, cricket was a sport played mai nly by the upper class. It was a kind of a “snob” game played by boys who attended public schools. As generations of public school boys grew up to become the civil servants and rulers of the UK and its colonies, cricket became associated with a set of moral values, in particular, the idea of “fair play” which supposedly characterised British government.73. Wimbledon (Unit 10)Wimbledon is the name of a London suburb. In Wimbledon, the world’s best players gather to compete on grass courts. It is one of the major events of the British sporting calendar and probably the most famous tennis event in the world. Besides actually watching the tennis matches, other activities closely associated with the “Wimbledon fortnight” are eating strawberries and cream,drinking champagne and hoping that it doesn’t rain.。

The influence of the Church on schooling is strong.Religious education: Christianity/Catholic/IslamBefore 1870,only 40% of children under 10 went to school regularly.In 1870 the government passed a law called government-founded educationBy 1880, attendance at school for children between 5 and 10 was compulsory.In 1944,Education Act made entry to secondary school s and universities “meritocratic”In the 1960s comprehensive schools were introduced all over the country. Entrance exams were abolished and children couldn‟t “compete” for places.in 1989, National Curriculum were introduced, which contained English, mathematics, science, religious education, history, geography, technology, music, art, PE, and a modern foreign language. Pupils must pass national tests. All teachers are told what to teach rather than decide themselves on what to do and schools are ranked according to the success of their pupils in reaching national targets as well as teachers perform of their tasks.•Today the British education system is run by the state, which provides funding , overseas standards, and tries to make sure that all British children receive a quality education. the largest department is the Ministry of Education◆The Present Education systemCompulsory (age 5-16)Free ChoicesState Schools ―founded by local and central government, free educationPrivate schools (independent schools or Public schools) ―founded by private sector and tuition rates, with some government assistance.The School Year•The dates for school terms and holidays are decided by the local authority or the governing body of a school, or by the school itself for independent schools.•The school year runs from September to July and is 39 weeks long.For many areas the year is divided into six terms:＊September to October＊October to December＊January to February＊February to March＊April to May＊June to July•(Some counties in England still follow the traditional three terms a year.)School holidaysThe main school holidays are:＊Christmas- 2 weeks＊Spring - 2 weeks＊Summer - 6 weeksThere are also one week holidays:＊end of October＊mid February＊end of May•The education system in the UK is divided into four main parts, primary education, secondary education, further education and higher education. Children in the UK have to legally attend primary and secondary education which runs from about 5 years old until the student is 16 years old.Up to age 5: Nursery Schools ―many facilities are provided by private enterprise. Government provides some financial support.Age 5-11: Primary Schools (co-educational/mixed schools ) ―state sectorAn example of Primary School UniformWinter UniformSchool tieGrey skirts, or grey school trousers (straight leg)White shirt or blouseBottle green pullover (optional school logo)Black Shoes (heels no more than 2.5cmSummer UniformBoysSchool tieShort sleeve white shirtGrey shorts or trousersBlack or white Shoes, brown or black sandals (heels no more than 2.5cm)GirlsGreen and white stripes or greenand white checkBlack or white Shoes, brown or black sandals (heels no more than 2.5cm)Age 11-16:1.Secondary Schools•Comprehensive schools(90%)―admit children without referenceto their academic abilities; providegeneral education. Pupils can studyeverything from academic subjectsto more practical subjects.2. Grammar schools―select childrenat the age 11, through anexamination called “the 11-plus”.Those children with the highestmarks go to grammar schools. Theseschools lay emphasis on advancedacademic subjects and expect many of their pupils to go on to universities.Public SchoolsOnly enroll pupils from prep schools.High tuition fees + large quantity of social endowments = affording smaller classes + better faculty (with nice salaries)Mainly single-sex rather than co-ed schools.Boarding schools.Who are attending such schools?The students are largely from aristocratic and upper class families.Despite the high fees they account for around 7% of the total school population.BUT opponents voice doubts:It‟s socially divisive and breeds elitism; they are offering more promising opportunities to 7% of B ritish children, but it‟s unfair for the remaining 93%!The Most Well-known Public Schools:Eton College (伊顿公学) (1440 by King Henry VI)Harrow School (哈罗公学) (1571) (Byron, Churchill) (for Boys only)Winchester College (温切斯特公学) (1394)Rugby School (拉格贝公学) (1567) (Rugby was first played here.)To send a boy to a leading public school costs￡1200 to ￡2000, even ￡3500 a term.Eton CollegeFor boys ONL Y!Its students are from noble and upper class families. (Prince Charles, William & Harry)So far, about 20 PMs were educated at Eton.The annual school fee (about ￡16,000)includes tuition, board & lodging, laundry, personal accident insurance, and the cost of most activities.Eton CollegeAt age 16: GCSE―General Certificate of Secondary EducationEnglish,Northern Irish and Welsh students sit their GCSEs after 5 years of secondary education. GCEA―General Certificate of Education-AdvancedPupils who want to go to university will carry on two-year study and take the exam.

Pupils who decide not to university may choose to take vocational training.◆Higher EducationState Universities except the University of Buckingham•All British universities are self-governing and fee-charging. They receive financial aid through the University Grants Committee (高校基金委员会) from the government.•Over 42% of pupils become university students on leaving school at 18.•110 universities in UK (93 in England, 13 in Scotland, 2 in Wales and 2 in N. Ireland)Four main groups of British universities1) the old universities:Oxford and Cambridge (the oldest)4 universities in Scotland that were built in the 14th and 15th century:St. Andrew (1411) Glasgow (1450)Aberdeen (1494) Edinburgh (1538)2) the redbrick universities: 1850-19303) the new universities (flat-glass univs. ): after WWIIaltogether: 46 univs., 35 in England, 8 in Scotland, 2 in Northern Ireland, and 1 in Wales4)The Open University―founded in the 1960’s for people who might not get the opportunity for higher education for economic and social reasons. It’s open to everybody and doesn’t demand the same formal educational qualifications as the other universities.
