I My guest today is Bill Edwards, who has written a book about the royal residences. Welcome Bill.
B Thank you.
I So, first of all, how many residences did the Queen have?
B Well, the Queen herself had six royal homes, though she owned only two of them. She inherited these private residences from her father, King George VI. She used them for holidays. The others are owned by the State.
I And which are they?
B Buckingham Palace, Windsor Castle, Holyrood Palace in Scotland and Hillsborough Castle in Northern Ireland. These are the four official royal residences.
I That’s a lot of homes! Can you tell us a bit about how she used them all?
B TheQueenhadquiteastrictroutine,actually,whenshe wasn’t travelling around the world. Buckingham Palace in
the centre of London was the royal residence from Monday to Friday. And that’s where she entertained all the heads of state and official visitors. She also met with the Prime Minister every Tuesday evening to catch up with the nation’s politics. Apparently, she was very well-informed and asked a lot of questions!
I And what did she do at weekends?
B She usually went to Windsor Castle. That was her official country residence, and owned by the state. It’s near London. It’s the largest and oldest inhabited castle in the world. It’s been the family home of British kings and queens since the tenth century. The Queen spent most weekends there with her family, when she had time. The family always stayed there for a month over Easter, too, and for a week in June. That’s when the horse-racing at Ascot takes place. She loved Ascot and owned some nice racehorses.
I Where did she spend her other holidays?
B Well, Christmas and January were spent at Sandringham House in Norfolk. Prince Albert, Queen Victoria’s eldest son, bought it in 1862 when he got married, so it’s owned by the family privately. The family have loved the place ever since and have made many improvements over the years. The house was hit by bombs in the First World War and there were huge holes in the ground that filled with water. King George VI turned the holes into duck ponds!
I Really? And the Queen also went to Scotland every year, didn’t she?
B She did – every summer. The family stayed at Balmoral Castle in the Highlands of Scotland. Queen Victoria fell in love with the Scottish landscape and bought a private house so that the family could holiday there. That tradition has continued. The Castle is also a working estate and provides jobs for many people.
I The Queen had another residence in Scotland, though?
B Yes, her official residence was Holyrood Palace in Edinburgh, the capital city of Scotland. She stayed there when she had official business. And she was there every July for a week. It was called ‘Holyrood Week’, appropriately.
I And was that the same for her official residence in Northern Ireland?
B Exactly. Hillsborough Castle is near the capital city of Belfast. She stayed there and entertained guests when she was on official business in Northern Ireland.
I OK. So that’s a lot of homes. How did the Queen look after them?
B Well, some were open to the public when the Queen
was not in residence. Buckingham Palace is the latest one
to open its doors. It’s open for two months in the summer and it’s extremely popular with visitors, both from home and abroad, as you can imagine.
I Indeed. It would be well worth a visit. Many thanks, Bill, for giving us the tour of the royal residences. A fascinating insight into royal life!
B Thank you. My pleasure.

I Khách của tôi hôm nay là Bill Edwards, người đã viết một cuốn sách về nơi ở của hoàn thân quốc thích. Xin chào Bill.
B Cảm ơn bạn.
I Vậy trước hết, Nữ hoàng có bao nhiêu nơi ở?
B Bản thân Nữ hoàng có sáu dinh thự hoàng gia, mặc dù bà chỉ sở hữu hai trong số đó. Bà được thừa kế những dinh thự riêng này từ cha mình, Vua George VI. Bà ấy đã sử dụng chúng cho những ngày lễ. Những cái khác thuộc sở hữu của Nhà nước.
I Chúng là những gì?
B Cung điện B Buckingham, Lâu đài Windsor, Cung điện Holyrood ở Scotland và Lâu đài Hillsborough ở Bắc Ireland. Đây là bốn nơi ở chính thức của hoàng gia.
I Thật là nhiều! Bạn có thể cho chúng tôi biết một chút về cách bà ấy sử dụng tất cả chúng không?
B Thực ra, Nữ hoàng có một thói quen khá nghiêm ngặt khi bà không đi du lịch vòng quanh thế giới. Cung điện Buckingham ở trung tâm London là nơi ở của hoàng gia từ thứ Hai đến thứ Sáu. Và đó là nơi bà chiêu đãi tất cả các nguyên thủ quốc gia và các vị khách chính thức. Bà cũng gặp Thủ tướng vào mỗi tối thứ Ba để cập nhật tình hình chính trị của quốc gia. Rõ ràng, bà ấy rất hiểu biết và hỏi rất nhiều câu hỏi!
I Bà ấy đã làm gì vào cuối tuần?
B Cô ấy thường đến Lâu đài Windsor. Đó là nơi ở chính thức của bà ấy ở đất nước và thuộc sở hữu của nhà nước. Nó gần Luân Đôn. Đây là lâu đài có người ở lớn nhất và lâu đời nhất trên thế giới. Đó là ngôi nhà gia đình của các vị vua và hoàng hậu Anh từ thế kỷ thứ mười. Nữ hoàng đã dành hầu hết các ngày cuối tuần ở đó với gia đình khi bà có thời gian. Gia đình cũng luôn ở đó một tháng trong lễ Phục sinh và một tuần vào tháng Sáu. Đó là khi cuộc đua ngựa ở Ascot diễn ra. Cô ấy yêu Ascot và sở hữu một số con ngựa đua đẹp.
I Bà ấy đã dành những ngày nghỉ khác của mình ở đâu?
B Chà, Giáng sinh và tháng Giêng đã được dành tại Sandringham House ở Norfolk. Hoàng tử Albert, con trai cả của Nữ hoàng Victoria, đã mua nó vào năm 1862 khi ông kết hôn, vì vậy nó thuộc sở hữu tư nhân của gia đình. Gia đình đã yêu thích nơi này kể từ đó và đã có nhiều cải tiến trong những năm qua. Ngôi nhà bị trúng bom trong Chiến tranh thế giới thứ nhất và có những cái hố lớn trên mặt đất chứa đầy nước. Vua George VI đã biến những cái hố thành ao vịt!
I Vậy sao? Và Nữ hoàng cũng đến Scotland hàng năm phải không?
B Đúng thế – mỗi mùa hè. Gia đình ở tại Lâu đài Balmoral ở Cao nguyên Scotland. Nữ hoàng Victoria yêu phong cảnh Scotland và mua một ngôi nhà riêng để gia đình có thể đi nghỉ ở đó. Truyền thống đó đã tiếp tục. Lâu đài cũng là một khu đất làm việc và cung cấp việc làm cho nhiều người.
I Nữ hoàng có một nơi ở khác ở Scotland, phải không?
B Đúng thế, nơi ở chính thức của bà là Cung điện Holyrood ở Edinburgh, thủ đô của Scotland. Bà ấy ở đó khi có công việc chính thức. Và bà ấy đã ở đó vào trong vòng một tuần mỗi tháng Bảy. Nó được gọi là 'Tuần lễ Holyrood'.
I Và nó có giống với nơi ở chính thức của bà ấy ở Bắc Ireland không?
B Chính xác là vậy. Lâu đài Hillsborough nằm gần thủ đô Belfast. Bà ấy ở đó và tiếp đãi khách khi bà đi công tác chính thức ở Bắc Ireland.
I Được. Vậy thì với nhiều chỗ ở như vậy, Nữ hoàng đã trông coi chúng như thế nào?
B À, một số đã được mở cửa cho công chúng khi Nữ hoàng không ở đó. Cung điện Buckingham là nơi mở cửa muộn nhất. Nó mở cửa trong hai tháng vào mùa hè và cực kỳ nổi tiếng với du khách, cả trong và ngoài nước, như bạn có thể tưởng tượng.
I Thật vậy. Nó rất đáng để ghé thăm. Rất cám ơn Bill đã dẫn chúng tôi tham quan các dinh thự hoàng gia. Đó là một góc nhìn sâu sắc hấp dẫn về cuộc sống hoàng gia!
B Cảm ơn bạn. Rất hân hạnh.

UK EDUCATION AFTER SECONDARY SCHOOL
In the UK, students can choose to end their formal education at 16, but in England they must stay in full-time education or do a training course until the age of 18.
Many 16-year-old students go on to study at different vocational colleges. Vocational education usually lasts up to three years. During this time, students learn job-specific skills. That is why vocational education is often referred to as career education or technical education. Many students still go on to higher education after receiving their vocational qualifications.
Alternatively, students can go toa sixth-form college or stay at their secondary school if it offers a sixth form for two more years. Students usually focus on three or four subjects that they are interested in or related to the degree they want to study at university. Exams are taken at the end of the two-year course, and the grades are used to apply for university courses. Not all students leaving sixth form go to university. Some prefer to get into a vocational course or find a job.
At university, students study for at least three years in order to get a bachelor’s degree. After the first degree, they can study for one to two years to get a master’s degree, and three to five years to get a doctorate.
