In school we have to take tests

Page 3: Don’t let your schooling get in the way of your education

We study

and study

Page 4: Don’t let your schooling get in the way of your education

Or sometimes we think of other ways to pass…

Page 5: Don’t let your schooling get in the way of your education

and sometimes no matter what, we don’t

Page 6: Don’t let your schooling get in the way of your education

but please don’t let any test

stop you

from living your dreams!

This old guy is Mark Twain

He wrote many famous books.

Page 8: Don’t let your schooling get in the way of your education

A long time ago, he said something very smart. He

said,

“I never let my

schooling get in the

way of my

education.”

Page 9: Don’t let your schooling get in the way of your education

What do you think he meant by that?

Well, this is what I think:

What you learn in school is good, but there are many

things you can learn on your own by

Page 11: Don’t let your schooling get in the way of your education

reading booksAsking people who knowResearching on the internetTrying it yourself!

Page 12: Don’t let your schooling get in the way of your education

And this is why English is important. It is the language the world uses to communicate. So if you can speak English, you can learn just

about ANYTHING!

Page 13: Don’t let your schooling get in the way of your education

What you learn is up to you!

Page 14: Don’t let your schooling get in the way of your education

No matter what tests you have to take

Page 15: Don’t let your schooling get in the way of your education

If you work hard and focus on having knowledge NOT just

on passing a test

No matter how you do

Page 16: Don’t let your schooling get in the way of your education

You can be a success

Just like these people
