A. Denmark, a small kingdom in northern Europe, has a lot of interesting places for tourists with children. For example, Legoland, a theme park, has become the largest tourist attraction in Denmark outside its capital Copenhagen. And Copenhagen itself is world famous for its Tivoli Gardens amusement park, which opened in 1843 in the heart of the city. The park offers ballet and circus performances, restaurants, concerts, and fireworks displays.
B. Denmark is the smallest Scandinavian country, consisting of the Jutland peninsula, north of Germany, and over 400 islands of various sizes, some inhabited and linked to the mainland by ferry or bridge. Throughout the country, low hills provide a constant change of attractive views; there are also cool and shady forests of beech trees, large areas of open land covered with rough grass, a beautiful lake district, sand dunes and white cliffs on the coast.
C. More than four-fifths of all Danes live in towns. The main cities represent a combination of medieval buildings, such as castles and cathedrals, and modern office buildings and homes. Denmark’s high standard of living and wide-ranging social services guarantee that the cities have no poor districts. Most people in the cities live in flats. But in the suburbs many also live in single-family houses.
D. Denmark’s fine beaches attract many visitors, and there are hotels and pensions in all major seaside resorts. Besides, excellent inns are to be found all over the country. Some are small and only serve local travellers, but others are adapted to the tourist and have established reputations for both international dishes and local specialities. There are also private rooms to let, usually for one night, and chalets all over Denmark.
E. There is a wide selection of places to go out in the evening, particularly in Copenhagen. Jazz and dance clubs in the capital city are top quality and world-famous performers appear regularly. There are numerous cafes, beer gardens and speciality beer bars. Entertainment available includes opera at the recently opened opera house in Copenhagen, ballet and theatre at a number of places in the larger cities, and live music of all kinds.
F. Most Danes eat four meals a day — breakfast, lunch, dinner, and a late-evening supper. Breakfast generally consists of cereal, cheese, or eggs. Dinner, which includes fish or meat, is usually the only hot meal. A traditional Danish dinner consists of roast duckling stuffed with apples, served with red cabbage and boiled potatoes. The other Danish meals consist mostly of sandwiches.
G. Almost all adult Danes can read and write. Danish law requires children to attend nine years of school. Primary school consists of the first seven grades, and secondary school lasts from three to five years. A five-year secondary school student can enter a university. Denmark has three universities. The University of Copenhagen is the oldest and largest. It was founded in 1479 and has about 24,000 students.

Can you remember your first
day at school? It was probably rather confusing. Now to avoid this
confusion many primary schools have a special teacher who welcomes
new pupils. In England she is called a reception-class teacher. On
the first day it is her responsibility to «settle» the
newcomers. The difficulty is that a lot of people give their children
the wrong idea about going to school. The children are threatened
with the idea of school, and if they have been good, they can’t
understand why they have to go to school. They imagine that school is
optional.
When the child goes to school,
on his first day, he has to watch his mother leaving. Often he thinks
that she is deserting him. The teacher must convince him that at the
end of the day his mother and his home will still be there. The
children are not the only people that are disturbed by going to
school. The teacher sometimes has just as much difficulty in coping
with the mothers. They are just as upset as their children. They hang
around and dislike leaving the child to his fate. All day they stay
at home, wondering what is happening and how their son Or daughter is
managing.
The best way to deal with the
situation is to get the child used to the idea of school. Before the
beginning of term the mother should take her child to see the teacher
and to look round the school. The first day should be something to
emphasize the regularity of school, and although the first day is
difficult, the mother must remember that her child must be encouraged
for a whole term at least.

Let kids be kids
(by Stephen R.C. Hicks)
1. The newspaper in Indiana
town ran a contest for schoolchildren. The students were to create a
picture on any topic; the best would be published in the paper.
2. A second-grader drew a
sad-faced earth with the caption «I am weary. I am tired. Please
quit wasting me!»* A third-grade girl depicted animals crying
near a house under construction, with smokestacks in the distance;
the caption read «We want our home back!»
3. Apparently many children
are coming home from school frightened that the world is cold and
inhospitable. All the furry animals are being killed and the nice
green trees being chopped down. Even breathing air is dangerous.
4. Motivated by the best of
intentions, most teachers want their students to become informed and
independent thinkers. But in trying to convey a sense of urgency
about such problems, they become frustrated and frightened. They
begin to realize that we are living in a hostile world whose problems
are too big to handle. And that’s an attitude children often acquire
early in life.This does not mean educators and parents should pretend
that problems do not exist. We need to take pains** to help children
confront them on a scale they can grasp.
5. Frightened children are not
going to grow into adults who can solve the world’s problems. That
requires a confidence in one’s ability to find solutrons. And such
healthy self-esteem*** requires nurturing**** over a long period, on
a great number of small, day-to-day matters. Too
much,
too
fast,
can
only
destroy
it.

Describe your first day at school Follow-ups
Following are the IELTS Speaking Part-3 follow up questions that could be asked in Describe your first day at school cue card:
1. Do you think students should be taken to school by their parents or go by themselves?
I think parents should either drop their children to the school or arrange for their transportation, if they are minor. But it is absolutely OK if they let their children to go by themselves in higher classes.
2. Should children rely on their parents or be independent?
It is incontrovertible that children rely on parents for most of their childhood. There is nothing wrong in it, I believe! But once they start earning, they should become independent.

Should children rely on their parents or be independent?
Children should rely on their parents until they begin to learn. When they finish their schooling, they should begin accumulating and becoming self-sufficient.
How can children become more independent?
Children will become more free if their guardians allow them to make minor decisions on their own while they are very young.
