Read the following dialogue and then answer the questions!

[Situation] Five people are involved in a TV program called “Parents Speak Out”. They are talking
about the education system in Fantasia Island.
Moderator: Today’s topic on “Parents Speak Out” is the education system in Fantasia Island. Why
don’t we just go around first and get your opinion. Angie, could we begin with you? What do you think
of the education system in Fantasia Island?
Angie: Well, if you ask me, it’s terrible. The education system in Fantasia Island is out of date. The
education system there doesn’t make the students improve their knowledge.
Moderator: So, that’s what you think. Ryan, how do you feel about them?
Ryan: Well, in general, I agree with Angie. But what bothers me more is that they memorize without
understanding the knowledge. The learning method makes the students under pressure. Students
have to do homework, study at school for hours and sit in a boring class situation.
Suzan: I think so, too. As far as I’m concerned, the education fees in Fantasia Island are expensive.
It seems to me that high education is only for rich people.
Moderator: What about the teachers?
Angie: Yes, well, in my opinion, the quality of the teachers in Fantasia Island is very poor. They lack
of qualified teachers. This problem arises because the government doesn’t pay attention to the
teacher’s prosperity. Therefore, many Fantasians are not interested to become qualified teachers.
Bob: Oh, I don’t know about that. I think they implement the British education system in Fantasia
Island. British education system is super.
Suzan: Maybe, but the teachers in Fantasia Island put the British education into practice with the
wrong teaching method. They don’t teach Fantasian students much about how to apply knowledge in
practical situation.
