recent years there have been many changes in it. Now the
Educational Reform Act has led to a compulsory National
Curriculum for pupils aged 5 to 16 in state schools. It consists of
English, Mathematics, Science, History, Geography and some other
subjects. The Act also aims to give parents a wide choice of schools
for their children. Non-selective comprehensive education is
available for children of all abilities, though 7% of children attend
private fee-paying schools, called public schools. The well-known
ones are Eton and Harrow. The education system in the UK is
divided into four main parts: primary education, secondary
education, further education and higher education. Children in the
UK have to attend primary and secondary education which runs
from about 5 years old till a student is 16. School starts in September
and finishes in late July. There are 3 terms, a two-week break
between terms and 6 weeks summer holidays. The most important
examination is the assessment at the age of 16 which is called GCSE
or General Certificate of Secondary Education. Once students get
their GCSEs, they have the choice whether to go to further education
or go into the working world. Pupils can continue studying for two
more years, concentrating on three main subjects, and then at 18 they
take the General Certificate of Education Advanced Level exams.
There is also a Certificate of Pre-Vocational Education, for those
staying at school from 16 till 17. Further education (FE) is the term
used to describe education and training that take place after the
school-leaving age of sixteen. FE takes place in colleges, of which
there are over 600 spread across the UK. These colleges provide
education and training services for the whole of the community that
they are part of. They will also run courses for people who are in
work and wish to continue their training. Students who are admitted
to English universities take part in ‘undergraduate studies’ which
leads to a bachelor’s degree in a main field of study. The most
common degrees are Bachelor of Arts (BA) and Bachelor of Science
(BSc), although there are others. As for PhD or Doctor of
Philosophy, it is the highest degree awarded to a person who has
completed at least three years of graduate study and a dissertation
approved by a board of professors. There exist also sandwich
courses which offer students work places for a short period of time
in a relevant industry before completing their studies. Taking a
sandwich course may make the degree last a year longer than
otherwise. Graduate study, conducted after obtaining an initial
degree, leads to a more advanced Master’s degree. The Oxbridge
universities (Oxford University and Cambridge University), which
are amongst the world's oldest universities, are generally ranked at
or near the top of all UK universities. These universities denote an
elite education. They consist of a number of colleges, each self-
governing and independent.
The republic is situated on the Crimea peninsula. It is between the Black Sea in the west and south, and the Sea of Azov — in the east. In the east the Crimea is separated from Russia by the Kerch Strait.
The total area of the republic is 26 100 km2, population is 2 137 700. It is divided into 15 regions and 15 cities.
Symferopol is the administrative centre of the Crimea.
The Crimea consists of two very different parts — treeless steppe of the Crimean Lowland in the northern and central parts, and the Crimean Mountains in the south.
The Crimean steppe, with its continental climate and steppe soils, occupies four-fifths of the territory.
The Crimean Mountains consist of a narrow range of foothills and a low mountain chain covered with forests and high pastures. Below the mountains in the south there is a narrow coastal lowland — the Crimeansouthern shore — with a Mediterranian climate and vegetation.
The rivers are short and shallow. On the northern slopes of the Crimean Mountains we find the Chorna, the Belbek, the Kacha, the Alma, the Salhyr and other rivers. There are also salt lakes there, such as the Sasyk, the Aktash and others.
It is rich in natural resources, such as iron ore, natural gas, building materials, and salt from the lakes. Russians constitute 67.2 percent of the population, Ukrainians — 26.5 percent and there are 300 000 Tatars.
Food production is the Crimea’s main industry. Food industry produces canned goods, fish and wines. Agriculture mostly specializes in plant-growing, vine-growing and animal husbandry. It is followed by iron-ore mining, metallurgy and machine-building.
The main sea-ports are Kerch, Teodosia, Yalta, Sevastopol, and Yevpatoria. The Crimea is also the main resort and tourist area of Ukraine.
The artist I. Ayvazovsky and the polar explorer I. Papanin were born in the Crimea.
Объяснение:
A wealthy American business magnate, playboy, and ingenious scientist, Anthony Edward "Tony" Stark suffers a severe chest injury during a kidnapping. When his captors attempt to force him to build a weapon of mass destruction, he instead creates a mechanized suit of armor to save his life and escape captivity. Later, Stark develops his suit, adding weapons and other technological devices he designed through his company, Stark Industries. He uses the suit and successive versions to protect the world as Iron Man. Although at first concealing his true identity, Stark eventually publicly reveals himself to be Iron Man.
Initially, Iron Man was a vehicle for Stan Lee to explore Cold War themes, particularly the role of American technology and industry in the fight against communism. Subsequent re-imaginings of Iron Man have transitioned from Cold War motifs to contemporary matters of the time.
