Types of Education

Three Types of Education

Formal education is the structured educational system provided by the state for school-goers.
Non-formal education, in contrast, refers to education that happens outside the formally organised school system. It includes adult literacy and continuing education for adults. This kind of education is voluntary.
Informal education is the education that happens outside the classroom. It is considered an integral part of formal education.

Reading: Psychology — The Science of the Mind

Psychology

Psychologists, like other scientists, use the scientific method. They use human behavior as a clue to how the mind works. Since the mind cannot be observed directly, psychologists use human behavior as data to test their theories about how the mind works.

Dialogue

A: Are you interested in teaching English to bank employees?

B: Is it a full-time job?
A: No, it's a part-time one.

B: I don't think so. You just need to send your CV and your salary expectations. Will you apply for it?

Grammar — Non-defining Relative Clauses

Non-defining Relative Clauses

Non-defining relative clauses add extra information about a noun. They are surrounded by commas.

Examples:

Mohamed Khaireddine, whose works I am going to read, was a poet.
Agoun'chich, which was his seventh and last novel, was published in France seven years after his death.
Critics compare him to Rimbaud, the French writer, whom I like very much.

Expressing Addition

Use linking words to add information:

and, also, as well as, moreover, furthermore, in addition, not only … but also, what is more
