elementary school, middle school, high school, university / college
After high school, I went to college; my major was Business Management.
University is public, it’s a run by the state and is usually free.
College is private, it’s run by a private institution and is usually expensive.
In my field (Business), colleges and business schools usually have a better reputation, but in engineering, universities are better-ranked.
Each university, each school each college, each institution has its own selection process.
You can apply to many schools, it is even recommended.
e = out
im = in
emigrate = go OUT of a country
immigrate = go IN a country
The gaokao is a national test which determines which university you can attend.
When you take a test, you can either pass it or fail it.
You must take the test even if you are sick, because there is no second chance.
prevent sb/sthg from doing
It can prevent people from cheating.
What happens if you get caught cheating?
to facilitate = to make easy, to organize
Some people facilitate cheating.
In Europe, the police caught a network of cheating facilitators who took tests for their customers.
It’s a serious offence.
Even small victories should be celebrated
