Homework for Grown-ups
Wednesday, May 13th, 2009It is interesting to compare core school subjects in 70-80s USSR with those in UK and Ireland. I certainly missed any religious education and many art-isms. Physical education (games) was also different except football and climbing a rope. So I bought this book in a local bookshop a few months ago to align my basic school education and finished reading yesterday while waiting in a queue in Irish visa office near Dublin O’Connell Bridge:
Homework for Grown-ups: Everything You Learnt at School…and Promptly Forgot
It was also useful for me to learn some English words from basic biology, classics and geography.
