is
very
different

,
most
British
children
go
to
a
state
____________________

.
Their
parents
don't
have
to
pay
tuition
____________________
.
The
pupils
study
all
the
____________________
available
for
the
first
two
years
of
secondary
school
,
but
they
can
choose
to
drop
some
of
them
at
14
,
when
they
begin
to
____________________
for
their
General
Certificate
of
Secondary
Educaion
exams
(
GCSEs
)
.
They
take
these
exams
at
16
.
In
Scotland
the
____________________
system
is
slightly
different
.
English
pupils
have
to
take
exams
in
the
