IX. Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the
questions.
Exercise 1:
ARE TRADITIONAL WAYS OF LEARNING THE BEST?
Read about some alternative schools of thought…
One school in Hampshire, UK, offers 24-hour teaching. The children can decide when or if they come to
school. The school is open from 7 A.m. to 10 p.m., for 364 days a year and provides online teaching throughout the
6
night. The idea is that pupils don't have to come to school and they can decide when they want to study. Cheryl
Heron, the head teacher, said “Some students learn better at night. Some students learn better in the morning.” Cheryl
believes that if children are bored, they will not come to school. “Why must teaching only be conducted in a
classroom? You can teach a child without him ever coming to school.”
Steiner schools encourage creativity and free thinking so children can study art, music and gardening as well
as science and history. They don’t have to learn to read and write at an early age. At some Steiner schools the
teachers can’t use textbooks. They talk to the children, who learn by listening. Every morning the children have to go
to special music and movement classes called “eurhythmy”, which help them learn to concentrate. Very young
children learn foreign languages through music and song. Another difference from traditional schools is that at Steiner
schools you don't have to do any tests or exams.
A child learning music with the Suzuki method has to start as young as possible. Even two-year-old children
can learn to play difficult pieces of classical music, often on the violin. They do this by watching and listening. They
learn by copying, just like they learn their mother tongue. The child has to join in, but doesn't have to get it right. “They
soon learn that they mustn't stop every time they make a mistake. They just carry on,” said one Suzuki trainer. The
children have to practise for hours every day and they give performances once a week, so they learn quickly. “The
parents must be involved too,” said the trainer, “or it just doesn't work.”
178. Which of the following is NOT true about 24-hour teaching?
A. Students can come to school from 7 A.m. to 10 p.m. B. Students can study online at night.
C. Students can choose the time to study.

questioneD. They may seem unwilling to talk about their work in school. This is a normal development at this age,
though it can be very hard for parent to understanD. It is part of becoming independent of teenagers trying to be adult
while they are still growing up. Young people are usually more willing to talk if they believe that questions are asked
out of read interest and not because people are trying to check up on them.
Parents should do their best to talk to their sons and daughters about school work and future plan but should not
push them to talk if they don’t want to. Parents should also watch for the danger signs: some young people in trying to
be adult may experiment with sex, drugs, alcohol or smoking. Parents need to watch for any signs of unusual behavior
which may be connected with these and get help if necessary.
