 Boarding School Education
There are many arguments in favor of a boarding school education.
Nevertheless, the boarding school is not always the best education
institution for everyone.
At an early age interacting and communicating with people is very
important for a child’s personal life and can be especially helpful for
his/her future. In a boarding school, shy children can take advantage
of interaction through communal activities. The boarding school also
offers a great variety of activities such as arts, sports, and music that
allow children to demonstrate and develop specialized skills in their
free time.
Furthermore, the structured way of life and strict rules at the
boarding school may helps students to get used to a well ordered
way of life. The manners and social skills will help them to become
more responsible and confident, and to develop their talents in
leadership. Professionally trained teachers and educators in the
boarding school can offer excellent education without the parents’
constant supervision.
15 In spite of these good points, it is not advisable to send a child to a
boarding school if he/she is a dependent learner. A boarding school
usually demands that student learn independently. In addition, the
boarding school should not be seen as a measure to solve
inappropriate behavior or unsatisfactory study performance. Instead
of improving, problematic children may close off their relationship
with their peers and teachers.
In conclusion although a boarding school may provide good
education to many children, it is not recommended for those who are
strongly attached to their families. They may become frustrated and
socially isolated.

According to the writer, children in a boarding school can develop

specialized skills in…

16 Why do parents send their children to boarding school? Because…

 Students’ Cheating
Students’ cheating is one of the biggest problems faced by teachers
nowadays.
Despite the fact that teachers advise their students not to do
dishonest acts during tests, some students still do cheating. There are
many kinds of cheating that students do during the test or
18 examination, such as looking other students’ work, put some notes
under their clothes, write notes or formulas on their desks make
hand signals or go to rest rooms to get the answers from their
friends.
In my view, students who do cheating are committing a crime. It is a
sort of taking something illegally. This crime causes negative results
to the students. Students who always cheat deteriorate their mental
capacity. Cheating acts also create dependence. They weaken their
self confidence. Instead of preparing for the coming test, they are
busy to organize notes on a piece of paper. If this awful habit
continues, the students will lose their opportunity to develop their
intellectual and mind.
Therefore, school should consider cheating as a very serious problem.
School board and administration should go hand to overcome this
matter. Honesty must be put in school’s vision. Harsh punishment
must be applied to students who commit this crime.
What is mainly discussed in the text?

19 What will the school do to eliminate students who commit cheating?

“Students who always cheat deteriorate their mental capacity.”

(Paragraph 3) The word “deteriorate” means…

21 “They weaken their self confidence.” (Paragraph 3) What does the

word “They” refer to?
 Kids Watching TV
Is it important to know what your kids are watching? Of course yes.
Television can expose things you have tried to protect them from,
especially violence, pornography, consumerism, etc.
A study demonstrated that spending too much time on watching TV
during the day or at bedtime often causes bedtime disruption, stress,
and short sleep duration.
Another research found that there is a significant relationship
between the amount of time spent for watching television during
adolescence and early adulthood, and the possibility of being
aggressive.
22 Meanwhile, many studies have identified a relationship between kids
who watch TV a lot and being inactive and overweight.
Considering some facts mentioned above, protect your children with
the following tips:
1. Limit television viewing to 1-2 hours each day.
2. Do not allow your children to have a TV set in their bedrooms.
3. Review the rating TV shows that your children watch.
4. Watch television with you children and discuss what is happening
in the show.

Too much TV watching can possibly lead to ….

 Dear Editor
We are writing to complain about ads on TV. There are so many ads,
especially during our favourite programmes. We think they should be
stopped for a number of reasons.
First, ads are nuisance. They go on for a long time and there are so
many. Sometimes there seems to be more ads than programmes.
Second, ads are bad influence on people. They try to encourage
people to buy unhealthy food like beer, soft drink, candy and chips.
And they make people want things they do not really need and can
not.
Finally, the people who make ads have too much say in what
25 programmes people watch. That is because they want to put all their
ads on popular programs that a lot of people watch. Some
programmes which are not so popular get stopped because they do
not attract enough ads, even though those programmes may be
someone’s favourite.
For those reasons, we think TV station should stop showing ads. They
interrupt programmes. They are bad influences on people, and they
are sometimes put a stop to people’s favourite shows. We are sick of
ads, and now we mostly watch other channels.

 Last week I took my five-year old son, Willy, to a musical instrument
store in my hometown. I wanted to buy him a set of junior drum
because his drum teacher advised me to buy him one. Willy likes
listening to music very much. He also likes asking me everything he

boy of his age. He is very inquisitive.

near a traffic light regulating the passing cars and other vehicles. He

house. She planned to eat them both. Each night the children cried
and begged the witch to let them go. Meanwhile, at home, their
