Teacher:   Can you tell me about your early education?

Student:  Well, I went to¹ a school for very young children from the age of four and I remember that I didn't enjoy it very much at all. My ² from the age of 5 to 11 school was a little better, especially because my mum was a teacher in the school. She taught in the ³ younger part of the school and she was actually my teacher in first ⁴ level, but when I went up to the ⁵ older part of the school I didn't see very much of her. After that I was lucky enough to receive a ⁶ chance to go to school without paying fees for a very good ⁷ from age 11 to 18 school. My parents couldn't have afforded to send me to a ⁸ not free school so it was a really great opportunity for me. It was a ⁹ only for one sex school, so there were no boys. I'm glad l didn't go to a ¹⁰ for boys and girls school because I think there are fewer distractions so everyone can just concentrate on their studies.
