ATLANTIC COLLEGE
Last week I went to visit Atlantic College, an
excellent private college in Wales. Unusually, it
gives young people much needed experience of
life outside the classroom, as well as the
opportunity to study for their exams. The students,
who are aged between 16 and 18 and come from
all over the world, spend the morning studying. In
the afternoon, they go out and do a really useful activity, such as helping on the farm,
looking after people with learning difficulties, or checking for pollution in rivers.

 One of the great things about Atlantic College students is that they come from many
different social backgrounds and countries. As few can afford the fees of £20,000 over
two years, grants are available. A quarter of the students are British, and many of those
can only attend because they receive government help.
‘I really admire the college for trying to encourage international understanding
among young people’, as Barbara Molenkamp, a student from the Netherlands, said.
‘You learn to live with people and respect them, even the ones you don’t like. During the
summer holidays my mother couldn’t believe how much less I argued with my sister.’
To sum up, Atlantic College gives its students an excellent education, using methods
which really seem to work.

74. What can a reader find out from this text?

A. how to become a student at Atlantic College
B. what kind of programme Atlantic College offers
C. what the British education system is like
D. how to get along better with other people

75. What is the writer’s opinion of Atlantic College?

A. It doesn’t allow students enough study time.
B. Its students are taught to like each other.
C. It doesn’t give good value for money.
D. Its way of teaching is successful.

76. Since being at Atlantic College, Barbara

Americans began to move westward, (16) ……lot…. of them migrated to Texas. After a

a large number of Mexicans, who were out in the open. But there were too many Mex-
ican soldiers. The Mexicans breached the walls, broke into the Alamo, and killed all of
the men there. It was a stunning defeat for the Texans. However, they used this loss to
inspire them to (23) …dictury…….. “Remember the Alamo” became the battle cry of the
Texans. They soon defeated Santa Anna’s army and even captured him. After that,
Texas split apart from Mexico and became an independent nation.
