The GCE was originally introduced in England, Wales and Northern Ireland in 1951, replacing the older School Certificate (SC) and Higher School Certificate (HSC). It was intended to cater for the increased range of subjects available to pupils since the raising of the school leaving age from 14 to 15 in 1947. The examinations were graded into ordinary level for 16-year-olds, and advanced level for 18-year-olds. There was also an intermediate level alternative ordinary level (AO-level) and a higher special paper (S-level). In 1988, GCE O-Levels were phased out in favour of the General Certificate of Secondary Education (GCSE). GCE A-Levels were retained.

The General Certificate of Education or GCE is a secondary-level academic qualification that examination boards in the United Kingdom confer to students. The GCE traditionally comprised two levels: the Ordinary level (O-level) and the Advanced level (A-Level). More recently examination boards also offer an intermediate third GCE level, the Advanced Subsidiary level (AS-level).

The O Level English Language syllabus enables students to communicate accurately, appropriately and effectively and to understand and respond appropriately and imaginatively to what they read and experience. They will employ different forms of writing to suit a range of purposes and will show that they can understand the content and argument of given texts.

AIMS
To develop the ability of candidates to:
• communicate accurately, appropriately and effectively in speech and writing;
• understand and respond appropriately and imaginatively to what they read and experience;
• enjoy and appreciate reading texts in the English Language.
These aims form the basis of a course of study; they may not all be translated into assessment

I thought this may come in handy. It would be wrong to dislike an induvidual who has know knowledge but to insult an unknown person is pointless.

Hope this is enough information, you asked a 50 year old gentleman?? Give me a break..

He came to uk 2 years ago to study he is a really cool bloke and gets along with all my other English Greek friends, I tought him alot of stuff about us Greek Cypriots which he felt very shocked but he is also very happy.. He is very good at english but his phrases need tuning up. He will say stuff like "as a women you are smart" or as a women you are pritty.. Every time I or my mates tell him that what he says is wrong he starts getting upset which we are not out to do..

Would that be a case of the blind leading the blind?...Just wondering

Why do you tell lies? you can so tell your a loner!

Good luck with your "O" levels...God knows you gonna need it...

Make that an "academic" trap...

I see you you are spreading the material which proves you are a fake and a fool ...

I'll give you the same answer I gave you on your other stupid thread ...

In 1988, GCE O-Levels were phased out in favour of the General Certificate of Secondary Education (GCSE). ....

Thank you for proving my point, that is from your posted article above ....

So you agree with your above reference (source?) ... that "O" Levels were phased out in 1988.

You said you were 21 years old (last October-ish) ... so you were born when 1986 ...?

That would have made you 2 to 3 years old if you took an "O" level exam before they were phased out (and replaced by GCSEs)

They are normally sat when one is 15-16 years old ... you were extremely precocious

This below is the discussion initiated on the matter:

Listen, I do not care about Paragraphs, whilst speaking to people that have just got in to EDUCATION! I have my O level English thank you very much. Got demoted to the kitchen??? LOL No sweet heart I am from uk and I am sorry if you think that I am hot shit because I am from the uk but that is not the case, sorry if the truth hurts but next time you lot come and graduate from OUR universities and using OUR products be thankful and spread the word.

EXCUSE ME Sophia . . . gulp!

BUT, but you said you were 21 years old in your first post.

I don't know any 21 year-olds who even remember the "O" levels let alone HAVE one . .

Regarding suspect age ....

Sophia's very first post ..... October, 2007

I made it my dream to live in Cyprus 2 years ago, I was 19 years old. Could not wait to have the bright blue sea and sunshine everyday. ....

Yes I have a new boyfriend who is Greek, he is really really sweet and just my type but he uses Greek phrases and translates them into English which sounds really weird. I have told him that it does not sound right but he wasn't very pleased.

You come accross this in most languages. These phrases are best left in their original language and you would be a better person to learn the language itself. Then you would appreciate the beauty of it all. Ignore GR. Unfortunately he is turning into an old fart faster than me.

What do you know? Equivalent to O Levels then... Give monkeys I got in to a good University, what are you lot up to??? lol lol lol

[Sophia1]

Sophie, civility has its rewards. Learn to turn the other cheek. (the ones either side of your smelling organ). It works wonders.
