Dan started his new school at the age of 11. There are many kinds of school for this age, but the general word for them is a
secondary school. Dan's school is a governement school, usually called a
state school. Some parents pay to send their children to a
private schools. At first Dan will take a lot of different subjects(history, chemistry, etc.) but, after a few years, he will begin to
specialize in things he is good and interested in. Then he will
pass some exams. If he can
take a number of exams with good marks(A,B,C) it will help him to find a good job. Of course, he hopes he doesn't fail.
