Question

At last, the mid-term exams are over．You’ve done the hard work, but you can’t relax．You have to prepare for the next exams．Do you hate exams? If you do, you’re not alone．Students in other countries hate them as well．

  Luckily for them, British students have fewer exams than Chinese students．And they only have them once a year．Every summer they take a test in each subject．Each test lasts about an hour．These exams don’t count for much． Even if a student does really badly they still progress to the next year．When the results come out they are then placed in an end-of-year report．The report is sent to the child’s parents．It describes how the student studied at school．

    This report is private, so only the teacher, the student and his or her parents see it．This means that the students don’t know how other students scored（得分） in the test．Some students choose to tell each other, but others keep it secret．

    Parents’ meetings are held twice a year, at the end of the winter term and then at the end of the summer term．Children go along with their parents to meet their teachers privately and discuss their performance at school．
