BOARDING SCHOOL
MR LEE Why do you go to a boarding school?
ANWEN My parents are musicians. They work in a different country every month. It's difficult for me to go to a normal secondary school, so I go to a boarding school in Swansea.
MR LEE Could you describe a typical day at your school?
ANWEN We have to get up at seven o'clock. We have classes and activities all day from 8.30 a.m to 5 p.m. In the evenings, we don't have to do anything. We can watch films, we can chat with our friend and eat sweets and biscuits, or we can chat on our mobile phones. We must be in bed by ten-thirty. 'Lights out' is at eleven 'clock.
MR LEE What subjects do you have to study?
ANWEN Private schools don't have to follow the National Curriculum, but everyone at my school must study English, maths, science and also Welsh, becouse our school is in Wales.
MR LEE Do you have to study any other subjects ?
ANWEN Well, the other subjects aren't compulsory. I'm studying citizenship, history, music, PE and French. There's also Personal Social and society. I get good marks, but I hate it. It's boring!
MR LEE Do you like your boarding school?
ANWEN Absolutely. The head teacher is good and I like the chool. But we have to wear a school uniform.
MR LEE Are there any disadvantages?
ANWEN We have to study harder than students in some state secondary schools and we can't say,' i've left my homework at home' becouse we live at school!
