Module 2 My New Teachers Section Ⅳ Other Parts of the Module [原文呈现]Different Countries, Different SchoolsIt is interesting to look at differences between schools in different countries①. In many European② countries, for example, the relationship③ between teachers and students is quite formal④. This is true of⑤ France, Germany, and Spain, where discipline and respect for the teacher is considered very important⑥. The same is true of Russia. In northern European countries, however, the relationship between teachers and students is much⑦ friendlier⑧ and more relaxed⑨. In America, students and teachers are quite relaxed with each other. In Britain, relationships are quite relaxed, but teachers can have big problems with⑩ discipline.Another important difference is whether schools are state schools or private schools⑪. State schools are paid for⑫ by the government, but in private⑬ schools, the parents pay for the education of their children. Germany and France have both state and private schools, but most students go to state schools, which are very good ⑭ . Similarly⑮， America has both state and private schools. Most American children go to state schools, but the private schools can be very good. Britain has both state and private schools. In Russia, children go to state schools.[读文清障]① 此处指的是两两之间，故用 between，句中的 it 是形式主语，真正的主语是动词不定式短语 to look at ...②European adj.欧洲的③relationship/rI’leI n Ip/ʃ ʃn．关系④formal /’fml/ɔːadj.正式的(反义)informal adj.非正式的⑤be true of 适用于；对……适用⑥where 引导定语从句并在从句中作地点状语。discipline/’dIsplIn/əˌn．纪律⑦much 在此修饰形容词的比较级，表示程度。⑧friendlier 为 friendly 的比较级，也可用 more friendly。⑨relaxed/rI’lækst/adj.轻...
