Everybdy has his r her wn curse schedule. They g t different classrms fr different lessns instead f 6 in the same classrm. Fr example, if ne’s first lessn is Maths, he r she shuld
g t the classrm fr Maths.
Besides languages, Science, Art, British students learn many7curses such as cking and

THE PLANT WORLD
There are mre than 400,000 kinds f plants n Earth. Sme plants are as big as tall buildings; thers are as small as rice. Plants are key parts f the fd circle. They play an imprtant part in the nature because they give ut xygen—the gas that all animals need fr breathing.

Mst animals grw in a certain way, and genes cntrl their grwth. That is t say, even when they are small, it’s easy t knw what they will lk like after they grw up. Plants are different. Their grwth is cntrlled by genes t, but their final shape als depends n where they live. Fr example, a tree can be big and rund if it
grws up in an pen space, but much taller and thinner if it grws in the wds with ther trees all arund. Plants are unable t mve frm ne envirnment t anther, s it is imprtant that they are able t get used t the envirnment.
