1 SPEAKING Read an extract from The British Students’ Manifesto. How is this school similar or different to your school? Discuss with a partner.

The school that we’d like is: A school which is for everybody, with boys and girls who come from all backgrounds and abilities, a place where we don’t compete against each other, but just do our best.

This school is similar to my school because students from different backgrounds and with different abilities study there. But it is also different, because in our school students often compete with each other for grades and results, while in the text it says that school should be a place without competition where everyone just does their best.

2 Read the GRAMMAR FOCUS. Complete the rules
using the relative pronouns in blue in Exercise 1.

Defining relative clauses

• You use 1 who or that for people.
• You use 2 which or that for things.
• You use 3 where to refer to a place.
  The relative pronoun usually comes immediately after the
  person, thing or place it refers to. You can leave out that,
  which or who when it comes before a noun or a pronoun.
