II. Complete the open dialogue and learn it by heart

L.

M.

As far as I know the age of entry to compulsory education in the U.S. varies, according to the state, between five and seven years of age, six being the most common.

L.

M.

I suppose that the age of exit varies between sixteen and eighteen years of age, the most common being sixteen.

L.

M.

I can’t agree with you. The length of primary education varies from four to seven years.

L.

M.

In my opinion primary education is followed by three years of middle school education.

L.

M.

Generally speaking secondary education occurs in grades seven – twelve, depending upon the laws and policies of states and local school districts.

L.

M.

I don't think so. Higher education in the U.S. is also called postsecondary education.

L.

M.

It is not divided into different sectors: university, non-university, etc., as are some other national systems.

L.

M.

The matter is that it is a diverse and autonomous community of publicly and privately supported institutions.

L.

M.

As far as I remember current data indicate that there are some 2.819 institutions offering a Bachelor's or higher degree.

L.

M.

I am declined to think that the higher education system is characterized by accessibility, diversity, and autonomy and is known for both its size and quality.

L.

M.

I believe that the federal government has no jurisdiction or authority over the recognition of educational institutions, members of the academic professions, programmes or curricula, or degrees or other qualifications.

L.

M.

To my mind the Associate Degree is the first academic or professional degree that can be awarded in U.S. postsecondary education.

L.

M.

On the contrary, the Bachelor's Degree is the second academic degree that can be awarded in U.S. postsecondary education.

L.

M.

As far as I am concerned the Master's Degree represents the second stage of higher education and is the first advanced degree awarded.

L.

M.

I fully agree with you. The Research Doctorate represents the third and highest stage of higher education in the United States and may be awarded in academic disciplines and some professional fields.
