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.

using the relative pronouns in blue in Exercise 1.

Defining relative clauses

  which or who when it comes before a noun or a pronoun.
