TEST III – READ AND SUMMARIZE THE ESSAY. ENCODE YOUR SUMMARY IN
SHORT BAND PAPER.
Importance of Education

Education is a process that involves the transfer of knowledge, habits and skills
from one generation to another through teaching, research and training. It can be in a
formal or informal setting. Formal education involves institutionalized learning based
on a curriculum. In today’s society, education and learning play an indispensable role
in shaping the lives of individuals and the society at large. The most effective way of
boosting economic growth, reducing poverty and improving people’s health is by
investing in education.

Human labor is essential for economic growth. A highly educated labor force
further stimulates economic growth. Additionally, a highly educated labor force can
easily adapt to new working environments and conditions. In view of that, it is evident
that education serves as the driving force for innovation of new products and services.
Educated workers exchange ideas in the work place and come up with new ideas that
help in the growth of the economy.

Education reduces poverty in a number of ways. One way is by creating

employment opportunities for educated people. Through employment, one is able to
afford a decent living. Education helps to increase economic security, create income
opportunities and improve livelihoods of the economically disadvantaged by

providing sustainable environmental management mechanisms. Education further

alleviates poverty through skills acquired in the learning process. Skills such as
carpentry, plumbing and masonry are relevant in non-formal economies. One can
acquire these skills through technical and vocational training.

Educated people are health conscious and live longer than their counterparts
because they engage in healthy habits such as eating a balanced diet, exercising
regularly and going for medical checkups. By investing in education, one will also be
investing in their health. Education serves to create room for technological
advancements in the field of medicine and agriculture. Advanced technology used for
conducting surgery has replaced traditional methods. This has seen an improvement
in people’s general health and an increased life expectancy. Most developing
countries have a low life expectancy compared to developed countries. This can be
attributed to high illiteracy levels present in developing countries. This translates to
poor health and poor eating habits.

In conclusion, education is the only means of alleviating poverty, improving

people’s health and increasing economic growth. Improving literacy levels in
marginalized societies will go a long way in improving human living standards.

TEST IV - READ THIS PASSAGE AND MAKE AN OUTLINE. ENCODE YOUR

OUTLINE IN SHORT BAND PAPER.

The Internet is an incalculable tool for research. It is a network of thousands of

computers across the world. Researchers, students, government agencies, schools,
businesses and individuals have left multi gigabytes of free information on these
computers, available to anyone with a computer and an Internet connection. There are
thousands of "web sites", as they are called, with text, pictures, sounds, and movie clips.

You can see this material by simply sending out the appropriate Internet address, and
after a few moments, it appears on your screen. You can type in the address directly, or you
can automatically invoke an address by tapping on an icon or an underlined "link" on the home
page of a web site that you already have on your screen. Often the information can be printed
or downloaded (copied) directly to your local computer and saved on your own diskette.

TEST V – WRITE A CRITIQUE ABOUT THE POEM.

How to write a critique?

Before you start writing, it is important to have a thorough understanding of the
work that will be critiqued.
* Study the work under discussion.
* Make notes on key parts of the work.
* Develop an understanding of the main argument or purpose being expressed
in the work.
* Consider how the work relates to a broader issue or context.

Formalist: This approach regards literature as “a unique form of human

knowledge that needs to be examined on its own terms.” All the elements necessary
for understanding the work are contained within the work itself. Of particular interest
to the formalist critic are the elements of form—style, structure, tone, imagery, etc.—
that are found within the text. A primary goal for formalist critics is to determine how
such elements work together with the text’s content to shape its effects upon
readers.

Feminist criticism attempts to correct this imbalance by analyzing and

combatting such attitudes—by questioning, for example, why none of the characters in
Shakespeare’s play Othello ever challenge the right of a husband to murder a wife
accused of adultery. Other goals of feminist critics include “analyzing how sexual
identity influences the reader of a text” and “examining how the images of men and
women in imaginative literature reflect or reject the social forces that have historically
kept the sexes from achieving total equality.”

READ THE POEM “ADAM”, BY HUGH COOK CRITICALLY. CRITICIZE IT USING

FORMALISTIC AND FEMINISTIC APPROACHES. ENCODE YOUR OUTLINE IN
SHORT BAND PAPER.

ADAM
by Hugh Cook
“Eden is boring.
Nothing explodes.
There are no trains to fall off the tracks.
And Adam finds himself
With something missing.
Comic books? Broadband? Balsamic vinegar?
Pachinko? Razor blades? Plasma TV?
He's aware of an itch
And scratching
Has yet to be invented.
He eyes the fruit,
The One Forbidden Thing.
"Not yet," says the serpent,
Who's seen the script.
But Adam is engineered for impatience:
Quests, missions, objectives,
Grails unholy or otherwise.
"Out!" says the angel.
And Adam shrugs,
Loses the core,
Strides to the open gate.
Something on two legs
Is running after him.”
