Vocabulary
Meaning of some words
Hello,
i would appreciate if anyone could help me with some words i need to understand to write a CV correctly.
What is thought by general grammar school? Is that equal to general secondary school, like gymnasium called in Europe?
Is there any difference between touch and blind typing? What is more common to use?
I have hurt some poeple saying that an expression secretary is a bit old-fashioned ? Are there any synonymes (like desk officer?) for a secretary? Can we say ?I did secretarial or administrative work??
Thank you!

Hello. 1) Grammar school - this will depend on the country you are applying to. In the UK, for example, a grammar school is a publicly funded school for which there is a competitive examination for entrance at age 11.

In the U.S, "grammar school" is a rather old-fashioned term for elementary school -- that is, the school a child would attend from about age 6 to 11 or 12.
