D For more than 70 years, psychologists and teachers
have studied the link between the place where students
choose to sit in class and what they are like as people and
learners. Where do you usually decide to sit? Have you ever
really thought about the reasons for your decision?
At the back
People often think that students who sit at the back are
lazy. But is this really true? Well, some researchers say
it is not. In fact, shy students often choose the back row
because it is far away from the teacher and they don’t
want to answer questions or be involved* in discussions.
At the back, students probably won’t speak much, but in
big classrooms, it can be hard to see the whiteboard and
hear what the teacher is saying. 2B. For students with poor
sight or hearing, a seat at the back of the classroom is
definitely not a good choice.
On one side At the front
Students who sit on one side of the class, are normally Are you passionate about knowledge? Do you like being
interested in lessons, but they like watching and listening in control? Are you worried about missing important

A modern genius
Stephen Hawking was one of the most famous scientists in the world. He was born in Oxford in 1942 and
lived there 1 the moment he moved to Cambridge to complete his PhD. 2 this, however, people already
knew that he was intelligent. He enjoyed Maths and Science in school very much. He found both subjects
very easy, and it was 3 he was studying there that his friends began to call him ‘Einstein’, for fun.
Stephen’s first university was actually Oxford, where he studied Physics and Chemistry. 4 his studies
there, at the age of 21, he became very sick and had problems speaking and moving. 5 he realised he was
extremely ill, he decided to work harder. This was because he really wanted to finish his PhD 6 he died.
Hawking finished his PhD when he was only 24. Later he wrote over 15 very popular science books.
His doctors didn’t expect him to live long. He died at the age of 76 – definitely too early, as many say.

the school and its staff really responsible?
