the questions from 30 to 34.
Let children learn to judge their own work. A child learning to talk does not learn by being corrected
all the time. If corrected too much, he will stop talking. He notices a thousand times a day the difference
between the language he uses and the language those around him use. Bit by bit, he makes the necessary
changes to make his language like other people's. In the same way, children learn all the other things they
learn to do without being taught - to talk, run, climb, whistle, ride a bicycle - compare their own
performances with those of more skilled people, and slowly make the needed changes. But in school we
never give a child a chance to find out his mistakes for himself, let alone correct them. We do it all for
him. We act as if we thought that he would never notice a mistake unless it was pointed out to him, or
correct it unless he was made to. Soon he becomes dependent on the teacher. Let him do it himself. Let
him work out, with the help of other children if he wants it, what this word says, what the answer is to
that problem, whether this is a good way of saying or doing this or not.
If it is a matter of right answers, as it may be in mathematics or science, give him the answer book. Let
him correct his own papers. Why should we teachers waste time on such routine work? Our job should be
to help the child when he tells us that he can't find the way to get the right answer. Let's end all this
nonsense of grades, exams, and marks. Let us throw them all out, and let the children learn what all
educated persons must someday learn, how to measure their own understanding, how to know what they
know or do not know.
Let them get on with this job in the way that seems most sensible to them, with our help as school
teachers if they ask for it. The idea that there is a body of knowledge to be learnt at school and used for
the rest of one's life is nonsense in a world as complicated and rapidly changing as ours. Anxious parents
and teachers say, “But suppose they fail to learn something essential, something they will need to get on
in the world?" Don't worry! If it is essential, they will go out into the world and learn it.
Question 30: What does the author think is the best way for children to learn things?

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the
correct answer to each of the questions.
Urbanization degrades the environment, according to conventional wisdom. This view has led many
developing countries to limit rural - urban migration and curb urban expansion. But this view is incorrect.
There are a number of reasons urbanization can be good for the environment, if managed properly.
First, urbanization brings higher productivity because of its positive externalities and economies of
scale. Asian urban productivity is more than 5.5 times that of rural areas. The same output can be
produced using fewer resources with urban agglomeration than without. In this sense, urbanization
reduces the ecological footprint. The service sector requires urbanization because it needs a
concentration of clients. As services generally pollute less than manufacturing, this aspect of urbanization
is also beneficial to the environment.
Second, for any given population, the high urban density is benign for the environment. The urban
economics literature shows that compactness is a key determinant of energy use. High density can make
public transport more viable and reduce the length of trips. Urban living encourages walking and cycling
rather than driving. Third, environment-friendly infrastructure and public services such as piped water,
sanitation, and waste management are much easier and more economical to construct, maintain, and
operate in an urban setting. Urbanization allows more people to have access to environment-friendly
facilities and services at affordable prices.
Fourth, urbanization drives innovation, including green technologies. In the long term, environment-
friendly equipment, machines, vehicles, and utilities will determine the future of the green economy.
Green innovations in Asia's cities will be supported by the region's vast market as the billions of people
who will be buying energy-efficient products will create opportunities and incentives for entrepreneurs to
invest in developing such products. Finally, the higher standard of living associated with urbanization
provides people with better food, education, housing, and health care. Urban growth generates revenues
that fund infrastructure projects, reducing congestion and improving public health. Urbanization fosters a
pro-environment stance among property owners and the middle class, which is crucial for the
introduction and enforcement of environmental laws and regulations.
Of course, urbanization also comes with costs. Millions of people are migrating to Asian cities and
companies are locating there to employ them. Urban sprawl and industrial activities, such as power
generation, transportation, construction, garbage and waste disposal, harm the environment. An
assessment of the impact of urbanization on the environment must balance its benign and adverse effects.

History books recorded that the first film with sound was The Jazz Singer in 1927. But sound films,
or talkies, did not suddenly appear after years of silent screenings. From the earliest public performances
in 1896, films were accompanied by music and sound effects. These were produced by a single pianist, a
small band, or a full-scale orchestra; large movie theatres could buy sound-effect machines. Research into
sound that was reproduced at exactly at the same time as the pictures - called "synchronized sound" –
began soon after the very first films were shown. With synchronized sound, characters on the movie
screen could sing and speak. As early as 1896, the newly invented gramophone, which played a large disc
carrying music and dialogue, was used as a sound system. The biggest disadvantage was that the sound
and pictures could become unsynchronized if, for example, the gramophone needle jumped or if the
speed of the projector changed. This system was only effective for a single song or dialogue sequence.
In the "sound-on-film" system, sound was recorded as a series of marks on celluloid which could be
read by an optical sensor. These signals would be placed on the film alongside the image, guaranteeing
synchronization. Short feature films were produced in this way as early as 1922. This system eventually
brought us "talking pictures".

correct answer to each of the questions from 36 to 42.
There are three basic types of classroom learning styles: visual, auditory, and kinesthetic. These
learning styles describe the most common ways that people learn. Individuals tend to instinctively prefer
one style over the others; thus each person has a learning style that is dominant even though he or she
may also rely somewhat on the other approaches at different times and in different circumstances.
Visual learners prefer to sit somewhere in the classroom where no obstructions hinder their
view of the lesson. They rely on the teacher's facial expressions and body language to aid their
learning. They learn best from a blend of visual displays and presentations such as colorful videos,
diagrams, and flip-charts. Often, these learners think in pictures and may even close their eyes to
visualize or remember something. When they are bored, they look around for something to watch.
Many visual learners lack confidence in their auditory memory skills and so may take detailed notes
during classroom discussions and lectures. Auditory learners sit where they can hear well. They
enjoy listening and talking, so discussions and verbal lectures stimulate them. Listening to what others
have to say and then talking the subject through helps them process new information. These learners
may be heard reading to themselves out loud because they can absorb written information better
in this way. Sounding out spelling words, reciting mathematical theories, or talking their way
across a map are examples of the types of activities that improve their understanding.
Kinesthetic learners may find it difficult to sit still in a conventional classroom. They need to be
physically active and take frequent breaks. When they are bored, they fidget in their seats. They
prefer to sit someplace where there is room to move about. They benefit from manipulating materials
and learn best when classroom subjects such as math, science, and reading are processed through
hands-on experiences. Incorporating arts-and-crafts activities, building projects, and sports into
lessons helps kinesthetic learners process new information. Physical expressions of encouragement,
such as a pat on the back, are often appreciated.
In addition to these traditional ways of describing learning styles, educators have
identified other ways some students prefer to learn. Verbal learners, for example, enjoy using words,
both written and spoken. Logical learners are strong in the areas of logic and reasoning, Social
learners do best when working in groups, whereas solitary learners prefer to work alone.
Research shows that each of these learning styles, as well as the visual, auditory, and kinesthetic
styles, uses different parts of the brain. Students may prefer to focus on just one style, but
practicing other styles involves more of the brain's potential and therefore helps students remember
more of what they learn.
