A: Hey B. Do you know when children in the U.K. start going to primary school?

B: I don't know. In Vietnam, children go to school when they are 6 years old.

A: Yes. But in the U.K., children start school at the age of 5 for primary school and 3 for kindergarten.

B: That's one year earlier than ours, right?

A: Obviously. What do you think of their school-age policy?

B: In my opinion, a 5-year-old kid is too small to start taking part in learning activities. I mean they are not prepared well enough to acquire in-depth academic knowledge.

A: You may be right. In Vietnam, although children go to school at 6, some of them show us that they are still not ready for serious learning tasks.
