parents are going to kill me. What’s worse is that I can kiss ever
getting into grad school goodbye.

on the test?

Reading Comprehension – Advanced
“Stay in school.” It's a refrain we’ve heard time and time again. When the going gets tough we’re
supposed to keep going anyway. These are supposed to be words of encouragement when a
student feels like they are in a college nightmare.
Some of us completed an advanced degree program while others made it to college, only to leave
before earning that magic diploma. Listed here are the top reasons that students drop out of college.
Financial reasons-With almost every degree comes at least a decade of financial misery. Every kid is
entitled to a quality college education, but sometimes finding the money to get that education isn’t
easy. For many, the choice is either to sign their life away to student loans, or pack their bags and
head home for cheaper pastures.
Academic failure-It’s tough finding out there’s more to college than keggers and football games. For
many kids, high school was easy to blow off. Kids who could coast through high school sometimes
hit college and are unprepared for the effort they need to put in to succeed.
Family problems-Sometimes college is about making tough choices. Sadly, the world doesn’t stop
just because college starts. There are times when the personal life of a student will interfere with
their ability to finish a semester. Whether it is a loved one falling ill, or a parent’s loss of a job that
forces a kid into the work force, there are times when college has to be put on hold.
Too much partying-College can be a fun time for a kid. For some, it’s about experimentation and self-
discovery. For others, it’s about putting their liver through the ringer. It’s hard to make the Dean’s List
when they can’t wake up for their noon class. Kids who party too hard don’t study enough, and that
kind of routine catches up with them quickly. Copyright (c) 2010 Open English (FoxyP2 Inc.) All rights reserved.
Reading Discussion – Advanced
• In your opinion, what kinds of effects can college have on students? Do you
think that this influence is usually good or bad? Why?
• Many college students fall into the trap of hard partying only to end up failing
out of school. Why do you think this happens?
• What are some things that students can do to keep themselves motivated and
focused on college?
• In your opinion, which one the reasons listed in the article is responsible for the
most college drop outs? Why?
Expressions & Phrases - Advanced

a) To tell secrets or spread rumors

1) Know something by heart
b) To have something memorized
2) We must learn to walk before we
c) Learning via life experiences rather than
can run through formal training
d) You must master a basic skill before

3) Tricks of the trade
you are able to learn more complex
things
4) Tell tales out of school
e) Having attitudes or ideas that were
5) School of hard knocks popular and important in the past, but
which are no longer considered relevant
6) From the old school
f) Clever methods that help you do a job
faster or better
