Names of school subjects, supplies, expressions like “Who is on duty today?” and others English words on the topic of school is the first thing that children learn in English lessons. However, school vocabulary is important not only at school; it includes such quite necessary and commonly used words as the names of sciences and fields of knowledge, as well as pens and pencils and other stationery, without which a working day is not complete.

Moreover, in such a seemingly simple topic, there are expressions that baffle even advanced English experts. The simplest example is the word "school". I'm sure you know the meaning of this word - "school". However, in the USA, under school imply not only school in our understanding, that is, primary and high school, but also, in a broader sense, any educational institution, including universities and colleges. In youth films, characters often say phrases like “I go to school” or “I need to go to school,” although they are not studying at school (in our understanding), but at a college or university.

We will analyze English words about school, dividing them into two groups:

1. Names of school subjects.
2. School supplies and general terms.

And at the end we will look at some lexical subtleties.

School subjects in English

School supplies and general terms

Notes:

Differences in the education system in different countries

If we start comparing the Russian and, for example, the American education systems, we will count a lot of differences. In short and only about academic subjects, then in America there is a more specialized approach to education; in high school, students are the ones who choose what to study and what to delve into. If you watched/read “Twilight,” you probably noticed this. Accordingly, objects may not be called in general terms, as in our schools, but in some very specialized way, for example: Literary Analysis and Composition.

Mysterious English expression “101”

While reading foreign how-to blogs and online magazines, I sometimes came across strange titles with “101” at the end, for example: Fitness 101, Plumbering 101, Graphic Design 101. What kind of 101?

As it turned out, in educational institutions numeric designation accepted training courses, 101 is always the most initial one, introductory course on a new subject. For example, Computing 101 is an introduction to computer science, Computing 102 is a continuation of the course. Accordingly, “101” means “introductory course for beginners,” that is, Fitness 101 is “Introduction to Fitness.” This abbreviation is usually used in headlines.

Notebook and laptop

In Russian, a portable computer is called a notebook or, much less commonly, a laptop. In English:

• notebook (lit. “notebook”) is definitely NOT a computer, but a notebook or large notepad. A small notepad (that fits in a pocket) is called a notepad.
• laptop (lit. “on the lap”) is what we call a laptop, that is, a portable computer. The name probably comes from the fact that laptops are often placed on laps. Tablet computers, by the way, are popularly called tablets or tabs.

Compass – compass and compass

It so happens that in English two dissimilar instruments, a compass and a compass, are called by one word – “compass”. The English word “compass” comes from the Old French verb “compasser” - “to measure”, which goes back to the Latin “compāssāre” - “equal step”. In English, it has several meanings, including the names of the instruments we know as compass and compass.

In our country, the word “compass” comes from the German name for this instrument Zirkel (in turn from the Latin “circulus” - “circle”), so in Russian these objects are called differently.
